If you haven’t made your way over to UCLA’s new archive, “Changing Times: Los Angeles in Photographs, 1920-1990,” you’re really in for a treat: 5,000 photographs from the LA Times and LA Daily News archives, all fully searchable by keyword and subject.
Here are a couple of comics-related photos:
Matt Groening in “The Bat Cave” (check out the cool comics/magazine rack):
Dr. Seuss at a book-signing
Councilman holding up “smutty” comic books, 1958
And, not comics related, but a pretty great picture of James Baldwin:
I love the other photos but the photo of James Baldwin is astonishing.
yeah, i love the one of baldwin: how tiny he looks, bored, or scared, or both — the typewriter just over his shoulder…
what a great shot
