This exhibition examines 15 key American artists who have helped define the form and brought it to the highest level of artistic expression. It features an extensive selection of approximately 900 original drawings, progressive proofs, vintage-printed Sunday pages, and comic books by Winsor McCay ("Little Nemo"), Lyonel Feininger, George Herriman (Krazy Kat), E.C. Segar, Frank King, Chester Gould (Dick Tracy), Milton Caniff, Charles Schulz, Will Eisner, Jack Kirby, Harvey Kurtzman, R. Crumb, Gary Panter, Chris Ware, and Art Spiegelman.
Co-organized by MOCA and the Hammer Museum, the exhibition is presented at both venues, with comic strips created during the first half of the century on view at the Hammer and comic books created from the 1950s to the present on view at MOCA.
