Secrets from the International Spy Museum: Real-World Espionage and Comic Books
From Agent Carter to Secret Agent X-9, espionage and spies have been integral to comic book storytelling, and the exotic gadgets and weapons they use have been pivotal to the stories being told. The same importance exists with real-world spies, but the technologies relevant today bear little resemblance to spy tech of the past. This session will feature experts and affiliates of the Washington, D.C. International Spy Museum including Ron Marz (writer Green Lantern/Silver Surfer), Mark S. Zaid (national security attorney, comic book historian), Adam Leslie (co-founder of Real Spy Comics, and former intelligence professional) and Janosh Neuemann (co-founder of Real Spy Comics, and former FSB intelligence officer) who will discuss what tools and technologies are relevant today, and how comics have told the stories of espionage over the last century.
