Online Exhibits

Social protest has been a recurring theme in comic books, with many writers and artists using the medium to express their political views and social commentary. The comics on display here depict different types of protests on a variety of topics, including bodily autonomy, human and civil rights, racial violence, police brutality, antiwar, government policy, environmental issues, fair labor conditions and living wages, and wealth inequality. 

This digital exhibit was created from the physical exhibit that was on display in the SDSU Library in 2024. Both were curated by Comic Arts Librarian, Pamela Jackson.

The exhibit shares ephemeral evidence of Edward Gorey’s never-ending brainstorming. These notations found in his personal library collection reveal Gorey’s love of humor, writing, creating art, authors, reading, and learning.  His scribblings narrate his library, and reveal him, always thinking, jotting notes, composing, or drawing images. 

Note: This online exhibit contains numerous images that are not in the public domain and are being used with the permission of The Edward Gorey Charitable Trust. For licensing of these, media collaboration, or general inquiries, please contact: [email protected]
