Hey! That's today...

POW! BANG! KER-SPLASH!

You don’t have to don a cape and tights on September 25th, National Comic Book Day, but you may want to read all about your favorite superhero(es) and their evil counterparts. From the rise of graphic novels to the latest Batman movie to a recent Metropolitan Museum of Art exhibition exploring the connection between comic book heroes and fashion, these little action-packed magazines have had a lasting impact on our cultural landscape. They’ve also kept generations of readers entertained since Superman’s first appearance in the 1930s. Sure you’ve got your stash of prized comics, but you might also want to check out books at the library that detail the history and trends of comic books.

(*Currently I'm all about the Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 8 graphic novels...)
