Masters of 20th Century American Comics Museum Show coming to Los Angeles

Happy New Year everyone!

 

From the Los Angeles Times, December 30th, 2004:

 

Decades before people were e-mailing the FCC about risque TV, the medium pushing America's cultural buttons was comics. "Masters of 20th Century American Comics", a joint exhibition from the Hammer Museum and MOCA (Museum of Contemporary Art), looks at 15 of the most influential artists, from Charles M. Schulz to R. Crumb. The two museums will show more than 500 original drawings, progressive proofs and vintage-printed Sunday comics pages - pre-1950 at the Hammer, post-1950 at MOCA. Nov. 20 to March 12, 2006.
