About the Experience Columbia: A History of Graphic Novels Series

The Experience Columbia Summer Program provides you with special access to the university’s vast collection of 19,000 comics and graphic novels, including Uncanny X-Men writer Chris Claremont’s collection. In this event series, Karen Green, Curator, Comics and Cartoons, and Lecturer in English and Comparative Literature, will guide tours and host conversations with our senior scholars on this remarkable archive and the impact this medium has had on culture.

Explore the academic and global significance of comics and graphic novels, tied to Columbia's collection in the Rare Book and Manuscript Library, with the help of Professor Aubrey Gabel. Interviewed by Green, Professor Gabel will elaborate on the Franco-Belgian and American comic tradition. In addition, Green will offer a tour of the Rare Book and Manuscript Library and highlight the Fanzine Collection.

Lastly, students will be offered the opportunity to watch the movie Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, a film adaptation of the graphic novel series, introduced by Green.
