Billy Ireland Museum Donation

I'm thrilled to announce my donation of 65 pieces of my original art (including unpublished work) to the Billy Ireland Cartoon Library & Museum. Looking forward to having them viewable for the public.

"Cartoonist Nancy Burton has donated 65 pieces of original underground comix art to The Billy Ireland Cartoon Library & Museum.

"Known by her pennames Hurricane Nancy, Nancy Kalish and Panzika, Nancy Burton is considered one of the first published women cartoonists of the underground comix era. Her donation includes the original art from Gentle’s Tripout, published in the East Village Other beginning in 1966, as well as Busy Boxes, which was published in Gothic Blimpworks (1969), and other unpublished early work. In 1970, Burton’s work was included in the seminal women’s liberation underground comic, It Ain’t Me Babe, edited by Trina Robbins. By 1971, Burton stopped creating comics but later picked the practice back up in 2009. The collection also reflects her more recent works."
