Masters of American Comics

I don't know too much about comics but I do know that if there is a chance to see a Winsor McCay drawing, I'll take it.

Masters of American Comics:
Exhibition on view September 15, 2006 – January 28, 2007.

“Throughout the twentieth century and into the twenty-first, comic strips and comic books have been a tremendously influential form of mass media. Masters of American Comics brings together the work of fourteen artists, from Winsor McCay to Chris Ware, who have defined and expanded the possibilities of a vastly popular art form. Masters of American Comics is a two-part exhibition at The Jewish Museum and The Newark Museum.”

I saw this exhibition earlier in the year at MOCA in Los Angeles. It's a fantastic show that features not only a slew of the best panel art ever created, but it includes covers and sketches as well. There is even the original art from the first ever cover of MAD Magazine.

The down side...as much class A work as there is in the show, many of the great comic artists are not represented.

I like a game which you need use dofus kamas to play. If you want to be online to play this game, I can borrow kamasto you. When you have cheap kamas, and than you can go on this game. Of cause, when you are first to play, you can dofus gold. If you have enough buy dofus kamas, you will be able to different games.
