Join us every First Wednesday of every other month!
December 3rd 2025.
Comic books have long exemplified progressive, Humanist values and it's time we talked about them! We'll listen to a superhero radio show before creating our own performance, followed by an inciteful short talk on superheroes, comics, and manga from around the world.
David Davidson is a writer, artist, and actor from Modesto who studied English at UC Berkeley with a concentration on Pop Culture and Mythology. He's a devout Humanist who worships at the shrine of Kurt Vonnegut. He writes and draws the graphic novel "Armadilla the Invincible", available as comic book and manga.
