Worth a Million: The Timeless Importance of Comics

  • Harbor Springs History Museum 349 E. Main Street Harbor Springs, MI 49740 (map)

Stan Lee famously said, “A picture is worth a thousand words, but a comic is worth a million.” Anyone who grew up reading the funny pages recognizes how true this is. No other medium so deftly pairs text and images. No other medium visually guides readers across the page so that the action unfolds as intended. No other medium relies so heavily on its reader to fill in the blanks. Comics can be goofy or sincere, adventurous or imaginative, pensive or prophetic. What they never are is static. They create and reinvent and blow us away every time.
