I started this journey in August 2023. Nearly 3 years later I am still here. (despite the multiple hiatus, the lack of finesse or the inevitable plot holes.)

And yes I am aware I am once again behind on my schedule (working on it!)

Either way I am not going to stop, I’m going to keep at it, (slow as I am) because I want to share this story with all of you (except ai people, fuck ai) and thank you all for joining me in this journey of making this comic <3 I never thought I’d make it this far.

The titles pages of the great "Kraven's Last Hunt" storyline (1987).

Explore the creativity and utility of an essential part of practically every modern book— the title page! Such pages signal and inform, incite pleasure and intrigue, as well as conceal and mislead.

On display in the Special Collections Research Center on the 6th floor of the Hatcher Library are works from our University Library collections illuminating critical moments in the history of books. Students in a Fall 2022 History Lab class researched and created the exhibit.

The exhibit is available for viewing Monday-Friday, 10 am to 5pm.

We hope you'll enjoy exploring this fascinating material!
