## Caption

September 25th is National Comic Book Day! Here at the Sacramento History Museum in our print shop, we don’t have any comic books, but we do have the a magnesium plate for printing the comics in the local newspaper almost 50 years ago. 

In this video, Howard discusses the magnesium engraving plate dated December 5, 1975 from The Sacramento Bee newspaper. This plate includes comics you might know such as Marmaduke, Witch Hazel, and Dennis the Menace. Jared and Howard also showed a portion of our newest exhibit, “America’s Monsters, Superheroes, and Villains: Our Culture at Play,” an exhibition by SuperMonster市City. 

It explores how toys we played with have reflected the country’s changing values and cultural tensions over the past 80 years. Hundreds of vintage toys, comic books, games, posters, media and more will be on display until January 2025.
