Comics & Graphic Novels

"The Billy Ireland Cartoon Library & Museum houses the world's largest collection of materials related to cartoons and comics, including original art, books, magazines, journals, comic books, graphic novels, archival materials, and newspaper comic strip pages and clippings."

"The generous support of the Swann Foundation for Caricature and Cartoon and gifts in kind from the Small Press Expo have made this exhibition possible. All works are from the collections of the Prints and Photographs Division and the Serial and Government Publications Division at the Library of Congress."

"We are the best site for downloading FREE public domain Golden Age Comics. All files here have been researched by our staff and users to make sure they are copyright free and in the public domain. To start downloading just register an account and enjoy these great comic books. We do not charge per download and the goal of the project is to archive these comic books online and make them widely available."

"The Library of Congress honors Mr. Geppi’s generosity with a selection of the collection’s gems. They represent themes from the museum, including Walt Disney’s iconic characters, westerns, superheroes, science fiction, horror, sports, music, and entertainment." Items in this collection were formerly on display in the Geppi Entertainment Museum in Baltimore, which is now closed.
