The Story of Checks and Electronic Payments

For over two decades, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York published this five-issue educational comic series explaining the mechanics of checks and electronic payments. Primarily written by Gail Donovan and illustrated by Jesse Chen and Luis Dominguez, the series served as a uniquely accessible primer on the nation's payment systems. Its long, revision-heavy run reflects the evolving landscape of financial transactions from the early 1980s into the digital age.
