Synopsis

According to Forbes, $650 million is raised each year on the crowdfunding site GoFundMe to combat health care costs; in 2017 alone, according to the National Health Survey, 28.9 million people under the age of 65 were uninsured in the USA. The Comics Journal #305 will shine a light on how this political hot-button topic shapes the livelihood and artwork of created by cartoonists affected by chronic disease, disability and America's healthcare system. This issue also features a document that is significant not only in terms of comics history - but American history, as well. Created by the civil rights organisation SNCC (Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee) and the Black Panther Party in 1967, this hand-printed zine is a report about a black community in Alabama that attempted to take back their voting rights in their local elections. There is also a profile on cartoonist Kevin Huizenga (Ganges), and much more.
