Scott Timberg, Carol Tyler, Brian Walker, Alexi Worth, Joe Wos, and
Craig Yoe Through essays and interviews, Kim A. Munson's anthology
tells the story of the over-thirty-year history of the artists, art
critics, collectors, curators, journalists, and academics who
championed the serious study of comics, the trends and
controversies that produced institutional interest in comics, and
the wax and wane and then return of comic art in museums. Audiences
have enjoyed displays of comic art in museums as early as 1930. In
the mid-1960s, after a period when most representational and
commercial art was shunned, comic art began a gradual return to art
museums as curators responded to the appropriation of comics
characters and iconography by such famous pop artists as Andy
Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein. From the first-known exhibit to show
comics in art historical context in 1942 to the evolution of manga
exhibitions in Japan, this volume regards exhibitions both in the
United States and internationally. With over eighty images and
thoughtful essays by Denis Kitchen, Brian Walker, Andrei Molotiu,
Paul Gravett, Art Spiegelman, Trina Robbins, and Charles Hatfield,
among others, this anthology shows how exhibitions expanded the
public dialogue about comic art and our expectation of "good
art"-displaying how dedicated artists, collectors, fans, and
curators advanced comics from a frequently censored low-art medium
to a respected art form celebrated worldwide.
