The Golden Age of Comic Books, 1938—1950

Opening October 24, 2004

The Breman’s unique special exhibition, ZAP! POW! BAM! The Superhero: The Golden Age of Comic Books, 1938—1950, the first in-depth exhibition of its kind, will invite visitors into the world of super heroes, illuminating the creative processes and influences that drove their young creators to provide America with an escape from the despair and helplessness of the 1929 stock market crash.

The exhibition will present original comic book art, culled from major collectors, representing the most well-known Super Heroes, including Superman, Batman, Captain America, The Green Lantern, and Wonder Woman.

Also on display will be rare, never-before-seen original comic book art, objects belonging to the first comic book creators and publishers, as well as superhero memorabilia. In addition, the exhibition will feature 1940s serials produced in Hollywood, video interviews with some of the leading comic book artists and writers of the days, and a number of interactive features for children and adults to enjoy.
