Comics in Museums

http://blog.artic.edu/blog/2012/04/19/comics-in-the-museum/

I read an article about comics in fine art. I thought it was interesting especially since in most of our classes in the art and art history department we discuss what art is and how it is designed. I fully believe that comics are a form of fine art. While I do not necessarily believe that Archie and Betty and Veronica quite make the cut for fine art I do believe that the artists mentioned in this article such as Neal Adams and Geofrey Darrow are artists. I think it takes a particular skill set to be able to create these drawings to go along with the stories they are attached to. I thought it was somewhat humorous reading about different panels for comic books. Some of the stigma attached to comic books has disillusioned me a bit but all in all I do think that artists who draw for comic books are still artists and can still impact the world in a similar way through their art.
