The Plot: The Secret Story of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion.

Protocols of Zion

I believe that — in spite of this courageous, not comic but tragic book by Will Eisner — the story is hardly over. Yet it is a story very much worth telling, for one must fight the Big Lie and the hatred it spawns.

Be a good listener in the special way a story requires: note the manner of presentation; the development of plot, character; the addition of new dramatic sequences; the emphasis accorded to one figure or another in the recital; and the degree of enthusiam, of coherence, the narrator gives to his or her account.

In our modern age, there are writers who have heaped scorn on the very idea of the primacy of story. I'd rather warm my hands on a sunlit ice floe than try to coax fire from the books they carve from glaciers.

I want to point out to adults that there is a world of good material available to you now in comic form - in this medium - and learn to give it your support because the more you support it, the better the material will be as it comes out.
