Transport back to the age where newspaper comics captured the imagination of the nation. Original comic strips by artists Milton Caniff, Charles Schulz, Chester Gould, Mort Walker, Lee Falk, and Chic Young take center stage in this memorable exhibition of more than 90 works, nearly all drawn from The Museum's stellar collection.
The comics will take visitors back in time where a variety of strips—action, drama, westerns, historical, and humorous—were the nations most anticipated entertainment. The exhibition features classic strips including Archie, Blondie, Beetle Bailey, Ferd’nand, Nancy, Peanuts, Mickey Mouse, Bugs Bunny, and Yogi Bear. Also, action packed comic strips like Steve Canyon, Terry and the Pirates, Dick Tracy, Mandrake the Magician, Tarzan, Lone Ranger, The Phantom, Dr. Kildare, and Brenda Star, among others.
Both daily and Sunday strips will be incorporated in the exhibition, which also explores the creative process, production, and medium of comics.
