Now that I'm back in a set-up that will let me post some of those pictures I took a couple of weeks ago, I'm in the midst of mentally revisiting the trip to Ohio State University's incredible comics research facility. It's in the Wexner facility at 27 West 17th Avenue Mall in Columbus, and the first time there requires a bit of guidance. Nevertheless, it's worth the complexity, because it's a fantastic resource for students of comics history.

And by "students," I don't mean you have to be enrolled in a course to take advantage of what's there, if you're researching something.

The current display involves the work and career of Milton Caniff. Displays benefit from the fact that Caniff didn't throw things away. Check this out. It's original art for the nose of an Air Force plane in World War II.
