Joel Christian Gill<\/a>, inaugural chair of the Boston University MFA program in Visual Narrative<\/a> discusses his exhibition, \u201cComics Is A Medium, Not A Genre.<\/a>\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/div><\/div>
The work in this exhibition makes no conclusions about the relevancy or relative value of highbrow vs. colloquial, superhero vs. memoir, or kids\u2019 comics vs. adult. The purpose here is to make the argument that comics are for kids, teens and adults, and everyone. Comics are an expressive medium that artists use to tell stories, and those stories can be anything. They are anything.<\/div>
