Healing Family Trauma Through a Comic Book Worth $3.5 Million with Adam Schomer

How one man’s obsession tore his family apart, and eventually brought them to their purpose and power. In this episode of the HEAL with Kelly Podcast, I sit down with HEAL’s film producer, Master Sattva Himalayan Yoga and Meditation Teacher, and my very good friend, Adam Schomer. Through his company i2i Productions, Adam is known for creating transformative documentaries like The Highest Pass, The Road to Dharma, and Women of the White Buffalo. Adam, of course, is also a producer of the documentary HEAL, which truly served as the foundation for our now beautiful friendship.

Today, we dive into his latest project, Selling Superman, a four-part documentary which on the surface might look like a film geared towards rabid comic book fans, but at its core is a story of how childhood trauma can shape a personality, a life’s purpose, and a mission to understand what this human experience is all for. A deeply moving journey of healing, Selling Superman explores the fascinating subculture of comic book collectors, one man’s obsessive 300,000 book collection including a Superman #1, worth $3.5 million. Adam opens up about the challenges of leading this deeply personal “pilgrimage,” balancing ethical storytelling with vulnerability, and navigating the delicate process of sharing someone else’s truth.

We also discuss universal themes from the film, including the impact of family conditioning, the search for inspiration, and the power of storytelling in a healing journey. Tune in now to hear Adam’s reflections, lessons learned, and why Selling Superman is a journey that speaks to every human, not just comic book collectors.
