Media Release -- Up until now there has been no serious attempt to showcase African Americans in the world of comic books, and the impact of their creative excellence, which has been a mainstay of the industry for as long as comics have been an American art form. That will change during Black History Month 2013 as Geppi's Entertainment Museum (GEM) presents Milestones: African Americans in Comics, Pop Culture and Beyond, a major special exhibit developed and curated by Michael Davis, co-founder of Milestone Media.

Drawing from the two largest privately held collections of paintings and other works by world-renowned Disney artist Carl Barks, Geppi's Entertainment Museum (GEM) in Baltimore will host the largest exhibit ever assembled of the late Disney creator's compositions from Friday, July 17 to Tuesday, September 8, 2009.
A significant percentage of the master's 125 oil-on-masonite paintings will be joined by preliminaries, studies, statues and comic book pages for this exclusive exhibit. GEM will also host a sale of Barks originals, lithographs, statues and Barks-themed items by Diamond International Galleries during this same period.
