Comment by AB: Time again for one of my periodic pilgrimages to the Cartoon Art Museum, a place where you can see and appreciate pretty much every type of cartoon and comic art known to man. Debuting tonight is The Trina Robbins Collection, a tribute to a century of women cartoonists, and featuring original art and memorabilia of many of the best known female comic artists of the early 20th century. Also on exhibit are original works of art from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comic strips, and original comic art by Mike Zeck including examples of The Punisher, G.I. Joe, The Amazing Spider-Man, Marvel Superheroes Secret Wars, and Captain America. Always an abundance of the good stuff on exhibit here.
