We landed on a pretty interesting way of making comics with The Warren Commission Report. It was a challenge integrating my visual and storytelling style with that of Ernie Colón–a challenge that required a lot of communication and careful piecing together of pages.

We'll talk about this in detail on the +Lean Into Art Cast this Thursday. You can tune in for the on-air hangout here:http://ift.tt/1mzCKFJ

And remember, if you post about the event you'll be entered to win a free copy of The Warren Commission Report! Details here: http://ift.tt/1ymXJ2e

So how do we leverage this expressive potential when making non-fiction comics? Are you honor-bound to capture and express everything objectively? How do you identify the narrative within the series of real events? Once you’ve identified the narrative, how do you find the balance between what the words and visuals tell?

This time we’ll be joined by +Dan Mishkin, writer of The Warren Commission Report: A Graphic Investigation into the Kennedy Assassination (http://goo.gl/o5Bue1), a non-fiction comic he created with Ernie Colón and LIA Cast host Jerzy Drozd. Together we’ll reveal the special storytelling cards up comics’ sleeve when dealing in historical or non-fiction topics.

Making Non-Fiction Comics, with Dan Mishkin – LIA Cast 107

Talking about the special concerns and advantages to making non-fiction comics on the LIA Cast!

Most comics clarify their narratives through lines on paper. This means that _nothing_ is real in a comic, which means that _everything_ is real in the context of a comic! It also means that everything rendered in a comic has the potential for expression beyond physical representation.

So how do we leverage this expressive potential when making non-fiction comics? Are you honor-bound to capture and express everything objectively? How do you identify the narrative within the series of real events? Once you’ve identified the narrative, how do you find the balance between what the words and visuals tell?

This time we’ll be joined by @113272822151855360800, writer of _The Warren Commission Report: A Graphic Investigation into the Kennedy Assassination_ (http://goo.gl/o5Bue1), a non-fiction comic he created with Ernie Colón and LIA Cast host Jerzy Drozd.
