BETHLEHEM, Pa. - Time to get some fresh air and have fun after the stressful election. The LehighValleyNews.com digital desk has handpicked three events for you to welcome in some weekend fun!
Comic book exhibit in Laura's Custom Framing & Fine Art
In Emmaus, Laura's Custom Framing & Fine Art is hosting a show of works by Lehigh Valley comic book artist Bob McLeod. The exhibition debuted over the past weekend and continues through December 2.
Visitors can view the exhibit for free at the shop, 328 Chestnut St.
The exhibition of McLeod's original pieces and signed prints include many of the well-known comic book characters he has illustrated for Marvel and DC throughout his career, including Spider-Man, Superman, and the X-Men New Mutants series, for which he is best known.
Spider-Man and Superman are two of the most popular works among fans, in addition to being McLeod's favorites, too.
With that said, there are also non-superhero works on display.
Besides the exhibition itself, many of the framed and signed prints can be purchased at the shop.
Check out reporter Jay Bradley's interview with McLeod for more information.
