NYAB Event - "THE SACRED COMIC BOOK" Exhibition

This event has ended.
At Jack the Pelican Presents
Media: Illustration, Drawing

This is a beautifully drawn, 40-page comic book about an artist, his seedy existence, his community, and his struggles. A single narrative, extending over 30 years, it was completed anonymously in 1921, which makes it the earliest document of its kind. What we're showing here are the original drawings in watercolor and ink. This is "The Sacred Comic Book."

The work was emphatically anonymous, but now 89 years later, Jack the Pelican has figured out the artist's identity.
