The Museum of Printing History is pleased to present Comic Books: a Visual Journey. The exhibition presents an illustrated excursion through the development of a uniquely American art form. From their inception during the Great Depression, comic books have been a source of entertainment, wonder, derision, and controversy. What started out as a low cost experiment has grown into a huge, multi-media cultural mainstay. See the transformation of comic books, from their humble beginnings, World War II patriotism, '50s horror and violence, and the return of the superhero, through today's wonders of art and packaging.

Comic books in the show represent seminal works in the medium. Examples include early appearances of Superman, Spiderman, Batman, Iron Man, Fantastic Four, and X-Men. This show has been organized by Richard Evans of Bedrock City Comics (http://www.bedrockcity.com/)
