Comic Book & Newspaper Art

PLEASE NOTE - SEE SAMPLES OF ARTWORK AFTER BIOGRAPHY SECTION

Comic books emerged in the 1930s. At first the books reprinted humorous newspaper strips, but later they began to feature unique content. Superheroes entered the world of comic books in 1938 with the release of Action Comics No. 1 and the debut of Superman. While the medium’s success first attracted controversy for violence and mature themes, many of the characters introduced have stood the test of time to become vital parts of our national culture. The art done for comic books has increasingly become recognized as a true art form.
