March 20, 2025
We are pleased to invite you to the third lecture of the American Studies Colloquium Series in the 2025 Spring semester!

We will examine the existential threat that librarians perceived comics to pose in the mid-century and the gradual, nervous thawing of that opposition in the 1970s and 1980s.
