Michigan State University Libraries: Comic Art Collection - Comic Books
Access this item.
Title
Michigan
State
University
Libraries:
Comic
Art
Collection
-
Comic
Books
Notes
Over
150
,
000
comic
books
published
in the
United
States
since
1935
are
included
in this
collection
,
which
is
the
largest
cataloged
library
collection
of
comic
books.
All
are
listed
in the
MSU
Libraries'
online
catalog
system
, and
listed
as
well
in the
international
OCLC
computer
network.
Cooperation
with a
commercial
firm
has
resulted
in the
filming
of
several
hundred
of the
rarest
superhero
comic
books
from the
early
1940s
, and these
microfiche
, in
color
, are
available
for
use
in the
Special
Collections
reading
room.
Estimation
is
difficult
, but the
collection
is
probably
at
about
the
sixty
percent
mark
toward
being
able
to
provide
a
copy
of
every
U.S.
comic
book.
The
collection
is
definitely
not
limited
to the
more
"collectible"
superhero
and
adventure
genres.
From the
beginning
the
emphasis
has been to
include
all
kinds
of
comic
books.
Subject
Comic
books
,
strips
,
etc.
--
United
States.
Young
adult
fiction.
Graphic
novels.
Fantasy
fiction.
