About this episode

The CBK Book Club discusses DC: The New Frontier, exploring its themes of social injustice and political change in the context of comic book history.

The CBK Book Club returns to discuss one of the best DC runs in recent history, DC: The New Frontier! Lance and Jeremy (The Geekly Grind) share their thoughts and takeaways from Darwyn Cooke and Dave Stewart's masterpiece. The New Frontier brilliantly serves as an allegory for social injustice and political change during the 1940s and 1950s in the United States, with an injection of the shifting comic landscape from the Golden to Silver Age.
