Shines a light on how comics creators are affected by chronic disease, disability and our nation’s health care system. This issue also features a zine created by the civil rights organization SNCC (Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee) and the Black Panther Party in 1967, for a Black community in Alabama that attempted to take back their voting rights in their local elections.
