Continuing a month of episodes looking at the connections between comics and literature on Britain’s only regular comics radio show Panel Borders, Alex Fitch talks to Adrian Edwards, co-curator of the exhibition Comics Unmasked: Art and Anarchy in the UK which is on display at the British Library until 19th August, in a Q and A recorded at Cartoon County in Brighton.
Adrian discusses how he helped put together the exhibition – which looks at over one hundred years of British comics – with co-curators Paul Gravett and John Dunning, the marketing of the show and some of the more controversial items on display in the library from Aleister Crowley’s Tarot Cards to examples of comic book erotica.
