The 441th meeting of the NY Comics & Picture-story Symposium held on Monday, February 2, 2026 at 7 pm EST. Caitlin McGurk: History and Highlights from the World’s Largest Collection of Comics and Cartoon Art Join Curator Caitlin McGurk from The Ohio State University to learn about the highlights of the Billy Ireland Cartoon Library & Museum, the foremost center for the study and preservation of comics and cartoon art, proudly stewarding the largest collection of related materials in the world. Located in Columbus, Ohio since 1977 and founded by cartoonist Milton Caniff (Terry and the Pirates, Steve Canyon), the Billy Ireland Cartoon Library & Museum contains over 300,000 pieces of original art, 2.5 million comic strip clippings, thousands of comic books, graphic novels, and more. McGurk will take viewers on a behind-the-scenes tour of the archive as part of her presentation and will answer audience questions throughout. Caitlin McGurk is the Curator of Comics and Cartoon Art at the Billy Ireland Cartoon Library & Museum and Associate Professor at The Ohio State University. She is the author of Tell Me a Story Where the Bad Girl Wins: The Life and Art of Barbara Shermund (Fantagraphics, 2024), which won the Eisner Award for Best Book About Comics in 2025. McGurk’s scholarship and exhibitions focus on the work of women in comics, alternative and underground comics, and early American comic strips. Her recent exhibitions include Ladies First: A Century of Women’s Innovations in Comics and Cartoon Art and Man Saves Comics: Bill Blackbeard’s Treasure of 20th Century Newspapers, featured on CBS Sunday Morning. Her writing has appeared in Journal of Lesbian Studies, Slate, The Comics Journal, Inks: The Journal of the Comics Studies Society, and IDW Publishing’s Library of American Comics Essentials. McGurk has also worked for the Center for Cartoon Studies’ Schulz Library, Marvel Comics, and serves on the council for the annual Cartoon Crossroads Columbus festival.
