Just because a book might be fiction doesn't mean that the archaeology and history you read in them is, too. Listen to archaeologists and authors talk about the real history behind your favorite books.
Archaeological Comics - Episode 17
Show host Kim Biddulph talks to three archaeological comic writers and artists, John Swogger, Hannah Sackett and Katy Whitaker about their work and the current and potential uses of comics in archaeology. Comics are obviously a great way to engage children in archaeology, but can they be used beyond that?

- Hannah Sacket's Mold Gold Cape
