“From the movies to some of the biggest fashion trends comic book heroes have found a predominate place in pop culture. INK: Alter Egos Exposed not only presents an in-depth look at the whole comic book industry but takes viewers below the surface into the underlying issues and themes that pop up on the pages,” said Michael Kot, VP Factual Content, Canwest Broadcasting.
“Whether it is examining how the early years of comic books were censored, investigating what it means when a Super hero’s uniform is based on his country’s flag or how comic books help with the problem of global warming, INK: Alter Egos Exposed covers all the bases of the often fantasised world of comics. We couldn’t be more thrilled to introduce IFC viewers to this Canadian series.”
Each half hour episode will focus on a different topic or theme, with the first episode examining what 'superheroes' symbolize and how their perception has evolved over the years.
Other topics the series will examine are Gender and Relationships, Evolution of Comics, Death and Resurrection, Creators, Genres and Alternative Press.
"INK: Alter Egos Exposed" is produced by Summerhill Entertainment Inc.
