6 Films About Comics and Their Creators

From the NFB blog.


Comic strips and comic books are universal art forms, and give their creators a direct line to wide, wide audiences. Some comics are serials, some are satirical, some offer insight, and some just want to make you laugh.

Here is a look, from political cartoonists to the creator of a world-famous superhero, at a variety of comic strips and their creators who have been the subject of an NFB film. 

  • Seth’s Dominion (featuring Seth)
  • Laughter in my Soul (featuring Jacob Maydanyk)
  • The Persistent Peddler (by Claude Cloutier)
  • The Death of Kao-Kuk (a Seth comic animated by Luc Chamberland)
  • The Devil You Know (featuring Todd McFarlane)
  • Understanding the Law: The Worm (by Diane Obomsawin, aka Obom)
