COMIC ART IN MUSEUMS SC
(W) Brannon Costello (Ed.) (A) N/A (CA) N/A
A comprehensive history of how comics and comic art gained recognition as art. Through essays and interviews, Kim A. Munson's anthology tells the story of the over-thirty-year history of the artists, art critics, collectors, curators, journalists, and academics who championed the serious study of comics, the trends and controversies that produced institutional interest in comics, and the wax and wane and then return of comic art in museums. With over eighty images and thoughtful essays, this anthology shows how exhibitions expanded the public dialogue about comic art and our expectation of "good art."

John Jennings is perhaps best known for his collaboration with Damian Duffy on the Eisner Award-winning graphic novel adaptation of Octavia Butler's Kindred. Jennings is also a graphic designer and comic book scholar who, throughout his career, has conducted several interviews that shed light on the importance of Black Speculative narratives. These interviews explore folklore, systemic racism, his Mississippi roots, and the phrase Jennings cocreated, the Ethnogothic. Jennings discusses the necessity for black heroes, not just for the sake of diversity, but for inclusiveness.
