Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago presents Chicago Comics: 1960s to Now, celebrating Chicago’s role as a national and innovative center for comics and cartooning.

“With a focus on rediscovering the work of women and BIPOC comic artists, this major exhibition presents the last 60 years of the city’s cartooning history, showing how comic art is a democratic medium that allows artists to speak directly to people in relatable ways,” says a Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago spokesperson.

The exhibition is divided into four key sections spanning Chicago comic history, including 1960-70s: The Underground; 1980-1990s: Alternative Weeklies, Comic Books, and Zines; 1990-2000s: Graphic Novels and Community, and 2010-Now: Chicago Rising.
