This presentation will explore the ways that comics have both documented and responded to the shifting landscape of mental health in America in the 20th and 21st centuries. From the creation of Wonder Woman to the post-war horror comics, to Spider-Man and the Joker, the medium and its creator have long been invested in exploring and better understanding the mind.
Valentino Zullo is Assistant Professor of English and the Anisfield-Wolf Fellow in English and Public Humanities at Ursuline College. He is also a licensed independent social worker in psychoanalytic training at the Cleveland Psychoanalytic Center.
