Comics exhibitions - an incomplete guide

Inspired by my recent post about a (Don Lawrence) comics exhibition I thought I'd start looking into all the comics exhibitions that I've covered on the blog. I'll also try and add in exhibitions I haven't covered - in the hope that some images will eventually surface. At this stage I know this list has a LOT of gaps in it but you've got to start somewhere...
