About the Latin American Comics Archive
The Latin American Comics Archive, hosted by the Modern Language Resource Center at Carnegie Mellon, is a curated exhibit of comic strips and comic books created in Argentina, Colombia, and Mexico between the 1920s and the present. The exhibit does not intend to be comprehensive, but rather to highlight one or more examples of comics published during those decades by both commercial and independent publishers.
Carnegie Mellon University programs and events are open to all alumni, regardless of race, color, national origin, sex, handicap or disability, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, religion, creed, ancestry, belief, veteran status or genetic information.
