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.
Spread the word!
this exhibit is phenomenal and inspiring! just don’t take the tour…
There\’s another half to this exhibit that\’s at the Newark (NJ) Museum, I think. Except it covers comic STRIP artists.

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.
