About the Comic

Peoplings is
a full-length graphic novel by Courtney Angermeier and Jeff Benham,
dealing with the integration of non-neurotypical individuals
as full participants in our communities, particularly individuals
on the autism spectrum. It looks at the history and current climate
of special education through the stories and perspectives of
two boys; Max, a contemporary kindergartner with autism, and
a historical figure, a feral child named Victor D'Aveyron. Both
stories are based on actual children. The work of Victor and
his doctor, Jean-Marc Gaspard Itard, is widely cited as the case
which gave rise to the field of special education.
Peoplings is being serialized in the 7000 BC anthology string.
