Question: Which U.S. institution houses the largest publicly available collection of comic books in the country?
Answer: The Library of Congress holds the nation’s largest public comic book collection, with more than 100,000 issues spanning over 6,000 titles. The archive covers everything from the earliest comic books of the 1930s to modern and international releases. While much of it comes through copyright deposits, the library also curates additional works based on artistic significance, popularity, and cultural impact—including self-published and experimental titles.
