Director JOHN KINHART (US 2023) 114 min

Filmmaker John Kinhart sets out to explore the life of American cartoonist Justin Green, known as the “father of autobiographical comics.” But as filming progresses, with essential help from Green’s wife and fellow cartoonist, Carol Tyler, the narrative takes an unexpected turn, revealing the intricacies of their marriage and Carol’s restrained talents within a male-dominated industry. By contextualizing Green’s iconic Binky Brown Meets the Holy Virgin Mary and Tyler’s groundbreaking Soldier’s Heart, Kinhart’s film highlights their significant contributions to the underground comic-book scene. Rounded out by rare cameos from influential comic figures including Chris Ware and Robert Crumb, Married to Comics also vividly portrays a partnership molded by passion, adversity, and the profound capacity of comic books to unveil our deepest selves.
