Dig Comics
Is the American art form of comics dying? 'Dig Comics' hits the streets to convert everyday people into new fans. Comic creators, retailers, and historians weigh in on what went wrong and whether it's too late to reverse the trend. The battle is on to get America to Dig Comics! 'Dig Comics' is a gateway to understanding comics - not only as a pop culture phenomenon, but as a unique and vastly under-appreciated art form. Just as licensed comic book properties are breaking box office records - think The Dark Knight, Spiderman, X-Men, etc. - the source material struggles to find an audience. Dig Comics will be the bridge that allows moviegoers to become comics fans.
