Comics Yesterday / Comics Today
Today's comic books have a long and varied history going back to nineteenth-century newspaper comic strips leading up to contemporary blockbuster movies. The Library of Congress is not only home to the largest publicly-held comic book collection, but also extensive holdings of newspaper comic strips, original art, and manuscript collections that reflect the history of comic books, as well as music, television, and film materials about and inspired by comic books and comic book characters. In divisions all across the Library interesting materials about comics can be discovered. |
