Motor City Marvels: How Detroit Shaped Comic Book Icons

Today, we're diving into a world of capes and incredible local talent. The Detroit Historical Society has just opened a brand new, year-long exhibit called "Heroes vs. Villains: The Art of the Comic Book," and it's packed with surprising connections to our city.

Did you know Detroiters had a hand in everything from The Simpsons and Futurama to the Batmobile and legendary DC and Marvel storylines?

We sat down with the curators – Billy Wal-Winkel, Brendan Roney, and Kevin Hawthorn – right in the middle of the exhibit to get the inside scoop. I really enjoyed this conversation.

To the Detroit Historical Museum!
