Blog on economics and comic books
Today I received this email:
I am a student of economics in New York, an avid comic book reader since childhood, and a big fan of Marginal Revolution. I just wanted to draw your attention to a blog that a friend and I have created. It's called Ecocomics and deals with economics in comic books. It's meant to be a fun read and currently includes posts on topics such as how Two-Face funds his crime sprees, the lucrative construction industry in comic books, Jonah Hex and 19th century real estate, millionaires in comic books, and Superman and labor unions. I think you might really enjoy it!

The problem is that "Ecocomics" sounds like it features the adventures of Captain Planet. Is it too late to go for "Comicnomics"?

Thank you for referring me to what is possibly the best blog ever created ever.

Finished reading the posts. Great concept, and a really enjoyable writing style. I hope he doesn't run out of ideas anytime soon. I hope he expands into science fiction as well as comics/fantasy.

i think you need to add an "o" to "comicnomics" (comiconomics for the win).

The New York Fed also publishes some well-made comics that taught me everything I know about monetary policy. Check them out here.
