Local School of Comic Art Has Italian Roots

In April, Chicago Tonight got a behind-the-scenes look at a school of comic book and sequential art that started in Italy in 1979. The Scuola Internazionale di Comics -- the International School of Comics -- is based in Rome and runs nine art schools in Italy. Their trade school approach includes teachers who are also successful working artists. We revisit that story.
