Sarah Mirk on 28 March - history, politics and identity in comics

Monday 28th March, 8pm online. Note: this is an hour later than usual, as Sarah will be joining us from America.

This month our guest is Sarah Mirk, who is a contributing editor at acclaimed graphic journalism website The Nib, where she writes and edits nonfiction comics.

'When I tell people I write comics, they're usually confused. "So they're funny?" they ask. "No, not usually," I reply. "But they're always interesting!" I specialize in writing non-fiction comics about history, politics, and identity. Comics are a great way to make thorny and complicated topics accessible to a wide audience.'

Sarah also edited the 2020 anthology Guantanamo Voices - an illustrated oral history that shares the stories of 10 people who are connected to the world’s most infamous prison.



She has produced her own comics and graphic novels on subjects including You Do You: Figuring Out Your Body, Dating, and Sexuality (Lerner, 2019), post-apocalyptic romance Open Earth (Limerence Press, 2018), and the collection of her 365 daily self-published comics: Year of Zines (2020).
