Munson (ed.), Comic Art in Museums (Jackson, MS , 2020; online edn, Mississippi Scholarship Online, 20 May 2021), https://doi.org/10.14325/mississippi/9781496828118.003.0031, accessed 29 Apr. 2025.
Abstract
This chapter contains an in-depth exploration of the issues surrounding comics and museums written by cultural journalist Scott Timberg for the Los Angeles Times in 2005 during the opening of the Masters of American Comics exhibition at the Hammer Museum and the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles. This chapter includes interviews with Ann Philbin, Art Spiegelman, John Carlin, and Brian Walker about the organization of the show. This chapter discusses the valuation of comic art versus fine art, the disillusionment some cartoonists feel about art school and contemporary fine art, and opinions on the future of comic art shows from curators at other museums.
