In the CCS Gallery: Panels & Screens

Motion picture studios have long recognized the rich potential in adapting comic strips and comic books to film, as well as the potent impact of utilizing cartooning in movie advertising. Panels & Screens: Comics & Cartoonists in Movie Advertising & Ballyhoo is a gallery exhibition that embraces both aspects of the relationship between comics, cartoonists, and the movies, presenting a selection of rare memorabilia from movies either adapted from comic strips or comic books, or movie ad campaigns using comics imagery and/or comics artists to lure audiences into movie theater; curated by Jon Chad and Stephen R. Bissette (from his SpiderBaby Archives collection).

The exhibition will be on display in the CCS Gallery, in the Colodny Building, through March 1st.

New! Denys Wortman’s New York: Portrait of the City in the 30s and 40s

Denys Wortman's New York: Portrait of the City in the 30s and 40s

by CCS’s James Sturm and Brandon Elston (CCS ′09)

The Center for Cartoon Studies Denys Wortman’s New York is not only a tribute to Wortman, but it is a tribute to New York, the city that sparked Wortman’s voracious creative output. From coal cellars to roof tops, from opera houses to boarding houses, Wortman recorded the sailors, dish washers, con artists, entertainers, pushcart peddlers, construction workers, musicians, hobos, society matrons, young mothers, secretaries, and students who collectively make New York the city it is.

Many thanks to our community partner, FairPoint, for making this project possible by donating archiving space.
