Comic Art in Museums

A single-issue comic from University Press of Mississippi, Comic Art in Museums (2020–present) collects essays and interviews exploring the evolving relationship between comic art and fine art institutions. Edited by Kim A. Munson, the volume examines how museums have historically framed—and often marginalized—comics, while highlighting recent efforts to legitimize the medium in gallery spaces. It’s a compact, scholarly snapshot of a pivotal cultural conversation, relevant for anyone curious about the shifting boundaries between popular and high art.
