About
York’s award-winning military history museum is hosting a new exhibition Into Battle: the Art of British War Comics, which will offer visitors a chance to explore the history of British war comics through the archives of classic comic titles such as War Picture Library and Battle Action.
The exhibition, featuring original comic artwork on public display for the first time, tells the story of war comics decade by decade. From satirical comic strips and patriotic illustrated story papers of 19th Century and early 20th Century, to the revolutionary comics of the 1970s, which presented much more gritty, authentic and emotionally-charged stories.
Visit York Members are invited to drop in and browse the exhibition between 17:30 and 19:00 on Wednesday 11th September. Drinks and nibbles will be available. There will also be the chance to look around the rest of the museum, join in with some object handling and see if you can beat the highest score on the target range simulator.
We look forward to seeing you there!
Date: 11 September, 5:30pm - 7pm
Where: York Army Museum, 3 Tower Street, York, YO1 9SB
