"Superheroes in Gotham"

Masked marvels may be dominating Hollywood, but their real-life origin stories, inspirations and publishing histories could only come from New York City. Witness the cosmic leaps superheroes such as the X-Men and Thor have taken from the sketchbooks of struggling postwar Manhattan artists such as Jack Kirby to radio, TV, film and beyond. This exhibit offers you the chance to look to the skies and around your neighborhood for the world’s mightiest supergods.
