There's a comic book "Marx for Beginners" by a Mexican cartoonist named Rius. Might be what you're looking for.

Marxist Philosophy in a comic book... myt look into that for my class :D a good alternative for reading for once hehe..

i'll re-phrase ---- what i meant to say was if there were media out there that make use of elements of marxist philosophies in their plotlines. Example: episode 3f11 of the Simpsons - Class Struggle in Springfield or The Shooter

I once saw a beginner's book of Marxism in Spanish called "Marxismo para participantes."

Is it similar?

A very nice read and easy to understand.

You mean, "Marxismo para principiantes". What you said literally meant "marxism for participants".

There's lots of this stuff. I guess Night of the Living Dead might help you too.

much of the cutting edge stuff in world literature in the 20th century was influenced by marxism. so much so that it's hard to figure out where to start...

pablo neruda if you're into poets? bertolt brecht if you're into playwrights? that's just a drop in the bucket.

many of the most prominent novelists in asia, africa, and latin america were influenced and inspired by marxism.

for movies...i'd check out warren beatty's "reds" as that's a depiction of an actual communist revolution, but for movies that use elements of marxism...there are too many to list!
