V & A

On the 19th January 2011 a talk was held by Ian Rakoff about western comics. Ian is a screen writer and comic collector. His talk was titled- The Western: Ethnicity and Gender in comics. He showed some interesting examples of western comics throughout the last century and up until the present day, showcasing their sometimes prejudiced and politically motivated stories.

Some really interesting and impressive art and artists were on show, for example:

Milo Minara:

Moebius:

Afterwards we had the chance to check out some of the V&A's exhibits...and all the comics/sequential stories hiding there!
