Fwd: Comic City, USA Free Public Celebration Sunday

While the growing popularity of comics has led many Oregonians to pick up their first comic book, the comic industry in Oregon actually has a very long and influential history. Opening August 12, Comic City, USA celebrates this history and profiles fifteen of the most iconic artists that have made the industry into the global powerhouse it is today.  In addition to displays on each artist, the exhibition will offer interactive experiences, from a comic book store style living room for flipping through comics, to a station where you can design and print your own comic book, to a photo op complete with superhero inspired props.
