Harvard professor’s comic series explores what if 1/6 insurrection succeeded

State of play: Harvard law professor Alan Jenkins and artist Gan Golan teamed up on the four-part series, called "One Six Comics," as part of a call to action to protect and strengthen democratic institutions.

• The pair interviewed journalists, people who took part in the insurrection and experts on authoritarianism for the project.
• They plan to send thousands of copies of the books to every school district and public library in Pennsylvania.

What they're saying: Jenkins expects the comic books series to "hit a nerve" with people who don't have time to read the lengthy House Committee report on the insurrection.

• "We were extremely close to constitutional and democratic disaster," Jenkins said.

Meanwhile, Democrats have launched a massive messaging blitz in town, including an airplane banner over Monday night's Phillies game.

• The Harris campaign has posted ads on billboards, food trucks and taxis.

Zoom out: The efforts follow Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Trump's recent campaign stops in the state.

What we're watching: A third comic issue is due out in a few weeks.

• The final edition will be released around Jan. 6, Jenkins says.
