Comix is a documentary about comic books and the comic book world, told through the thoughts and images of comic book creators, artists, writers, Independent Publishers, Comic Book Store Owners, collectors, and especially the fans, many dressed in costumes, who share their love for the art form and who have made comic books and the phenomenon what it is today.

Examines the dawn of the comic book genre and its powerful legacy, as well as the evolution of the characters who leapt from the pages over the last 75 years and their ongoing worldwide cultural impact. It chronicles how these disposable diversions were subject to intense government scrutiny for their influence on American children and how they were created in large part by the children of immigrants whose fierce loyalty to a new homeland laid the foundation for a multi-billion-dollar industry that is an influential part of our national identity.
