San Francisco is known for breaking new ground in the industry. Unofficially, the comics code determined what was published in the comic world for decades until people started to sell their books on the street. The comics sold well, underground publishing was born, and artists like Robert Crumb became nationally famous. The museum is small, but well worth a trip. Right now the museum has three main exhibits and one main collection exhibit.
All art is original.
The anmie section is amazing. It contains cells from actual movies and a load of weird Japanese toys. Then there is the Edward Gorey space. We also sell a lot of books, comics, posters and postcards. My job, together with two other interns, mainly consists of putting the library in order and believe me, it is a mess.
