The Image Revolution (2013): cast, story & where to watch

Released in 2013, The Image Revolution is a documentary film directed by Patrick Meaney, running about 81 minutes. “When they broke the mold, they started a revolution.” — that tagline sets the tone.

What it’s about. Twenty years ago, seven superstar artists left Marvel Comics to create their own company, Image Comics, a company that continues to influence mainstream comics and pop culture to this day. Image began as more than just a publisher - it was a response to years of creator mistreatment, and changed comics forever. The Image Revolution tells the story of Image Comics, from its founders' work at Marvel, through Image's early success, company difficulties during the comics market implosion, and ultimately the publisher's new generation of properties like The Walking Dead. Filled with colorful characters, the film is a clarion call to artists to take control of their destiny.
