The exhibit is fantastic and well worth the price of admission. Some truly great original art pages on display along with movie costumes, production art, props, and more. A rare opportunity for fans, don't miss it!

I will be there to see what pages are on display!!

The Comic Art Museum exhibit had Dave Mandel's and Kelvin Mao's pages. You can see them in their respective CAF galleries...but, of course, it's something entirely different to see them in person.

 

Also, CAM had a lot of Gibbons' prelims. I'd never seen one before. They're a fascinating look at his process and also surprising in how small they are. They're tiny, about 4" X 5" (iirc).

 

Let us know what shows up at MOCCA!

Wow! Just read that Gareb Shamus has loaned all 12 covers from his collection to exhibit at MOCCA. Don't know if pics are allowed (they weren't at CAM), but they'd be cool to see!

Yep, just saw em. All the covers and page #12/1, as well as some color guides (I think) for the covers. All in cheap beat up frames and poorly matted. Nice art though!!

I'll probably go and check it out next Saturday... I'll bring a camera with me and shoot some photos if it's allowed.

Here's a story with some pics:

Cool to see the #1 cover. Just based on these photos, though, it seems to me that the Comic Art Museum in San Francisco has the better exhibit.

Wish there was this much coverage about the Comic Art Museum WM exhibit in San Francisco...any WM fan in the area should definitely make an effort to see it. Regardless of what you think of the movie, the display of WM artifacts is damn impressive. A must-see!
