The first college course on comic books was taught at Indiana University in 1972. Since then, comics have been incorporated into classrooms across the country at an exponential rate. Nonprofit organizations have likewise popped up to help promote the use of pop culture as an education tool and launch their own learning initiatives. Many preexisting organizations, meanwhile, have created original comic books to teach young and old alike about not only history but physics, mathematics, and the homeless. Remixing History contains sections on each of these areas, making it a one-stop website for those interested in the use of popular culture in the classroom.

Remixing History also explores individual comic books through the lens of the real-world events that shaped their narratives. By intertwining these fictional stories with their factual counterparts, a hybrid narrative is created that not only offers a unique perspective but serves as a gateway to further understanding of both the past and the present. They also demonstrate the educational value of fictional narratives in both high school and college classrooms, as well as how comic books can be interpreted as historical artifacts. Remixing History sorts these articles into categories, offering a convenient way to locate specific time periods and their fictional counterparts.
