Comics exhibition - Worthing museum

Not only are there comics exhibitions on at The McManus in Dundee, the V&A in London and (shortly) the Atkinson in Southport, we can now add Worthing museum (here) to that list!

They say...

– Nadia and Nessy, founders of Creative Waves, are working with Alan Martin on New Amusements funded by Arts Council England. As well as an exhibition on Worthing Pier, featuring Tank Girl, Alan has curated pieces from his collection of comic ephemera for an exclusive display cabinet in Worthing Museum until July 2017.

“The lucky people will be able to see a very rare original copy of Atom Tan #1, printed on the Worthing Art college’s photocopier thirty years ago, featuring the first published work of Gorillaz artist Jamie Hewlett, and the very first appearance of the comic and movie icon Tank Girl.” – Alan Martin
