EXHIBITS
CURATED AT THE WORDS & PICTURES MUSEUM
Since
opening to the public in October of 1992, the Museum has staged numerous
exhibits, each focusing on a different artist, project or aspect of
contemporary comic book & fantasy illustration. Over the coming
weeks, Museum curators will be adding graphics, press releases and photographs
from each of these physical exhibits. The archive created will be the
most complete overview of original comic book artwork exhibits in the
world.
