Detail of a page by American comics artist George McManus: Rosie's Beau, made for the Comic Weekly Herald Sunday American and presented as part of an exhibition on "Comics and Immigration" at the Museum of the History of Immigration in Paris. The exhibition takes place from Oct. 16 to April 27, 2014. Tracing comic sketches and magazines from 1913 to the present day, from the U.S. to France, the exhibit shows how the immigrant story -- from Asterix's "foreign" Polish and Italian authors, to Superman's Eastern European creator -- hugely shaped comic books, from their characters to their storylines.
