Lily Renée survived the Holocaust, got to New York, and became a Golden Age comics artist. She was written out of history for forty years. She was 97 when comics finally found her again.
Hello and welcome to Episode 14 of the Macroverse Dispatch!

Ridley Scott, George Lucas, and Hayao Miyazaki were all inspired by the same French comic that you've probably never read, so this week we’re looking at the non-invasion of European comics in the seventies that nonetheless influenced a generation of filmmakers.

Harley Quinn. Jonah Hex. Painkiller Jane. The Pro. And that's just the start. Jimmy Palmiotti's entire library is coming to Macroverse — and we're kicking it off with two free titles.
