Examining Comics Display

Pow! Bam! Shazam!

A comics display is available for super-heroes (and the rest of us) to view in the east entrance exhibit cases in Hewes Library.   

"Examining Comics: Truth, Justice and the American Way" showcases comic books, action figures and even an autographed photo of Adam West, all courtesy of the collection of Communication Studies instructor, Chris Goble. 

The exhibition highlights the transformation of comics through out the decades, in particular the social aspects reflected, and challenged, in this literary and artistic medium.

Join us for a lecture to accompany the display by Chris Goble on Tuesday, February 23rd 7:00pm. 

Goble will discuss how comics have created scenarios beyond epic supervillain battles, and have utilized characters like Superman and Black Panther in the fight against bigotry and injustice.  

The lecture will be hosted on Zoom and is free and open to the public.
