    Marvel Museum Exhibit

    in Comics General

    Posted

    I went this past weekend, and very glad I did. For those concerned about going to a museum 15 months into a pandemic, there was an after-hours option when the rest of the exhibits were closed. Tickets are sold with varying admission times (and they were checked). I thought the staff was safety-conscious, controlling the initial headcount into each gallery, and guests were offered a stylus to touch screens and other interactive displays.

    This was advertised as the only surviving original page from Marvel Comics #1.

    I don't collect old newspapers, but I made an exception in this case.

    The Sunday Mirror was distributed in New York, and this issue is dated 12/26/37. The '16 pages of comics' were not in there, but that's ok. The back cover is what caught my eye.

    I remember Overstreet noting an issue of Mickey Mouse Magazine that has the 1st appearance of Snow White, before the movie release, maybe the first time in print anywhere. I doubt this paper pre-dates the magazine, but it did come out before the movie. It's also different to read about Walt Disney and his accomplishments in the present tense.
