“Masters of American Comics” at The Jewish Museum

Running from September 15 to January 28, 2007, the Masters of American Comics exhibit at The Jewish Museum in New York is a truly wonderful exploration of the founders and current greats of the comic book industry. Featuring original art from Jack Kirby, Bob Kane, Chris Ware, R. Crumb and others — while focusing on the specific contributions to the medium by six artists — I’d encourage everyone in the tri-state area to take a trip and check out this exhibit. You’ll see some great art and learn the history of some of the most gifted comic artists of all time.

First of all, I didn’t leave that comment. Maybe it’s Jen, and Steve’s screwed the pooch again?
But yes, the tour sucked, I’m sorry to say. But it’s a really great exhibit. And yes, the 2nd half of the exhibit is at the Newark Museum, focusing on comic strips.
