Suppress Them! Boardman Robinson

During this week’s office hours, Richard D. Deverell, the Library’s Swann
Foundation Fellow, 2019-2020, will examine the history of censorship in
postwar America, focusing on the Comics Code Authority and the regulation
of comic books. He will demonstrate how comic industry insiders worked to
advocate for the cultural significance of their work by resisting censors
or partnering with politicians for official validation. The session will
also include an introduction by Martha Kennedy, curator of Popular &
Applied Graphic Art in the Prints and Photographs Division, to the
Library’s comic arts digital collections.

Brought to you by the Library’s Learning and Innovation Office and the
Library’s Prints & Photographs Division in collaboration with the Swann
Foundation for Caricature and Cartoon.
