[Bosco685]

So, CBS finally got around to doing a segment on this cool little exhibit.

 

For more than 70 years, we've been captivated by the adventures of superheroes, from old comic books to new Hollywood blockbusters, and the genre has never been more popular. Now, a new exhibit is unmasking the inventors of Batman, Spiderman and many other classic characters. Mark Albert reports from the "Superheroes in Gotham" exhibit at the New York Historical Society.

 

 

Superheroes in Gotham (October 09, 2015-February 21, 2016)

 

Superheroes in Gotham will tell the story of the birth of comic book superheroes in New York City; the leap of comic book superheroes from the page into radio, television, and film; the role of fandom, including the yearly mega event known as New York Comic Con; and the ways in which comic book superheroes, created in the late 1930s through the 1960s, have inspired and influenced the work of contemporary comic book artists, cartoonists, and painters in New York City.
