Harassment in the Comics Industry. We Talk to a Lawyer.

Harassment is a long standing crisis in the comics industry -- and despite brave voices speaking out, rarely have harassers suffered any consequences. Mainstream reporting on the open secret of sexual harasser Eddie Berganza has finally lead to his firing and now more stories of harassment are coming to light. We think it's time to talk to a lawyer-- an employee rights attorney. We'll not only be discussing some of the high profile harassment cases in the comic industry but also what folks need to know in their every day workplace.
