SUPER HEROES in GOTHAM at the NY Historic Soc-Comics Blast from the Past

If comics and superheroes are your thing, then make your way to NY Historic Soc. exhibit SUPER HEROES in GOTHAM because you're sure to be WOWED!  Comic con has come a long way since its 1st convention in 1969 with a few hundred young people in preppy dress (check out the photo.)  Zowie, yes!  In fact, this rather small exhibit which highlights original sketches & drawings 1938-41 and the early 60's should knock out a lot of people.  Perhaps, 1 of the 3 original batmobiles from the campy TV series might be all it takes to floor you.  But, if superheroes & comics do not immobilize you like kryptonite than it's not worth leaping tall buildings to view the art, artifacts and character storyboards that I found rather boring.  Comics have become a pop culture phenomena which seems to be growing faster than a speeding locomotive.   I'll admit to a fondness for Archie & Snoopy comics but the superheroes never gave me a thrill.  Still, it was fun to see (anonymous) photos of youngsters sitting on curbs or at newstands reading comics in the early 60's.  I remember Julie Newmar as catwoman. I was disappointed in her lackluster leotards/gloves & kitten ears which seemed so provocative at the time and even more deflated by the Penguin's flimsy umbrella.  Some of the original sketches, drawings & covers packed a punch.  The 12 cent price on the comics underglass would probably draw a jawdropping figure.  I'm curious to attend a comic to experience the spectacle.  SUPER HEROES in GOTHAM was less than spectacular.
