E&P Throws Spotlight on Robinson’s Comics Exhibit

Newspaper industry trade magazine Editor & Publisher takes notice of Jerry Robinson's superhero exhibit ,"The Golden Age of Comic Books: 1938-1950," at the William Breman Jewish Heritage museum in Atlanta. They use as their hook Robinson's role as president of CartoonArts International, although Robinson is perhaps best known in comics circles for his involvement with the Batman character. That relationship is made clear in the bevy of positive reviews and profiles of the exhibit. It will run until August 2005, and I'm pretty sure I've heard hopes expressed that it will move to another location or series of locations at that time.

One of Robinson's lesser-known roles that grants this show a certain amount of promise is occasional comics historian. Information gleaned from his fine biography of Percy Crosby can be found here, a book that the cartoonist was telling people at the 2004 San Diego convention might be published in a new edition.

I hope and trust this photo of Robinson is part of the exhibit and therefore contextual information, and apologize if it is not.
