In this article I analyze how Marxist thought travels across media boundaries, focusing on characterization and montage, with the point of departure in a manga version of Capital (volume I). These changes can be viewed in terms of corruption, but also in terms of resources. Among other things, the artform of comics makes it possible to reach new audiences, and to connect ideas to new contexts.
