Author: John Hilgart

John Hilgart's 4CP blog is a gallery of minute fragments of vintage comic books, scanned to monumental size. The blog has been praised for its documentation of 20th century comic book print culture and for the aesthetics Hilgart brings to the selection and composition of material. His earlier gallery, Comic Book Cartography is a warehouse of maps, diagrams, cutaways, notable locations, and other information-rich comic book panels. Hilgart was formerly an English professor and is currently an ad man.
