Tonight I got a very interesting e-mail from a Bat-Blog reader named Fernando. He works for a magazine called "Aventura Americana" & recently they covered a Comic Book Art Exhibition being held at the Florida Jewish Museum of Miami Beach. It's simply called: "The Golden Age of Comic Books 1938 - 1950". The exhibit runs from Oct 16th, 2007 to the end of this month, April 30th, 2008 so there is still some time for readers who live in that area to check it out! The exhibition features original artwork of Batman, including Detective Comics #67, #69 and #71 original covers. Also there are covers of “All Star Comics”, “Action Comics”, “Green Hornet”, “The Spirit" and "Action Comics" among others. Over 70 works & artifacts from the Golden Age of comic books are on display. They showcase the work of 15 comic book artists & writers from this era, including Joe Shuster & Jerry Siegel who created Superman & Bob Kane and Bill Finger who created Batman. The exhibition is curated by Jerry Robinson, who created the Joker & named the boy wonder, Robin. This sounds like an incredible event to see! ( Thank you Fernando for sending this information ).
