The Story of Consumer Credit

The Story of Consumer Credit is a two-issue educational comic series published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York beginning in 2006. Written by C. J. Parnow and illustrated by Al Wenzel and Shepsil Scheinberg, it offers a clear, illustrated overview of how consumer credit works, from its history to modern practices. As a unique blend of public financial literacy and sequential art, it matters for demonstrating how comics can demystify complex economic systems for general audiences.
