Comics: Heroes, Myths, and Tales - Boston Children's Museum


*The event has already taken place on this date: Sat, 05/04/2019
Comics: Heroes, Myths, and Tales, featuring Jerel Dye, Raúl the Third, and the Boston Comics Roundtable, invites us into the world of comics and explores storytelling through images. Visitors are invited to share the adventures of creatures and characters both every day and fantastical. Using drawn pictures and few words to capture the imagination, comics are a great way to explore the power of visual literacy. Many different drawing styles as well as tools and processes used by the artists are highlighted. The exhibit showcases the adventurous spirit and creativity of the Boston comics culture.
