New exhibition!
Cloaked Crusader: George Washington in Comics and Pop Culture

Opening Wednesday, October 5

George Washington’s persona has been showcased in comics and pop culture; in traditional reenactments of famous events; and in appearances in modern times with the likes of Superman, Captain America and other famous heroes. He has become a mythical figure and super hero in his own right—a metaphor for good and justice in these tomes. The comic books and original artwork in this exhibition highlight Washington's continued relevance to our collective past, present, and future. Original artwork and comics on display will feature pieces by Michael Golden, Arthur Suydam, George Evans, George Perez, Neal Adams, Kurt Swan, Graham Nolan, Jose Marzan, Jr, Daniel Scott, Fred Fredericks, and many more!

The exhibition is guest-curated and written by Renee Witterstaetter of Eva Ink Artist Group and Pros & Cons Celebrity Booking and is based on her book of the same name.

This is an in-person event with a virtual component. Beginning at 7pm, Zoom participants can watch and listen to remarks from Sons of the Revolution? in the State of New York, Inc. and Fraunces Tavern® Museum leadership, the curator of the exhibition, and invited guests, including keynote address from former Marvel Editor in Chief Jim Shooter.
