Synopsis: The catalog of an exhibition held in spring 1971 at the Univ. of Maryland, and circulated by the Smithsonian. "This is a history of comics both from an artistic perspective, and as a form of social criticism, and it treats the work of well known artists as well as some outstanding lesser-known artists." (Included at least Tarzan, Little Nemo in Slumberland, and Prince Valiant of genre interest; and likely others)
