"Comic books are definitely one of the most overlooked art forms. I've been told there are five pure American art forms: jazz, the musical comedy, the mystery novel, the banjo and comic books. They were born here, in New York City. They're revered in Italy and Japan."
-David Jay Gabriel
Objective:
1) Take some time to comb through several comic books. This is a great objective to tackle while at a comic book shop, but can also be completed through other means, including using the Internet. All you need is a variety of comic books to peruse.
2) Continue looking though books until you happen upon a book whose art you find particularly beautiful.
3) Photograph a portion the art if possible. Alternatively, you can find a copy of the online.
4) Share the art on Instagram or Twitter with the tags #QuestScouts, #Comics and #Art.
Remember, if you post to a public Instagram or Twitter account with the tag #QuestScouts your photo will show up on our Scout Board for other Quest Scouts to view and interact with.
5) In the comments below, tell us about the art. Who drew it? What story is it a part of? What about the art do you find aesthetically pleasing?
