About the series

A single-issue comic published in 1969 by the US Department of Health, Education and Welfare, The Future Is Now is a standalone educational comic that uses the medium to explore public health and social welfare themes. Its most notable association is with the federal agency that produced it, making it a unique example of government-issued sequential art. While brief, the issue matters as a historical artifact of how comics were employed for public service messaging in the late 1960s.
