Big value comic - from 1995 - was indeed big value for the publisher as was all reprint material from Buster, Whizzer & Chips, Whoopee and more. My incomplete covers gallery starts today.

As ever with blog posts sometimes you've just got to start somewhere. So today I want to start compiling a list of books / exhibitions about comics / cartoons / caricaturing that have been held by major museums and galleries. More suggestions welcome for other such publications!
