Comic-Book Bonanza: Donor Gives UofL library a Pop-Culture Treasure-Trove

Dick Wilson was a grade-school Army brat kicking around Japan when he
bought his first comic book, a used Superman title that he got from a
fellow brat for half off the cover price: a nickel instead of a dime.
.
I still remember that cover, said Wilson, 59, a Louisville native. The
book is long gone, though.
.
Wilsons fondness for the medium remains, however. He has pursued comics
for 52 years, with a special affinity for Disneys classic Uncle Scrooge
books, but his collection contains everything from Batman and Spider-Man
to Gunsmoke.
.
Check that: It used to be his collection.
.
Wilson and his wife, Ardi, have donated around 2,000 choice comics to the
University of Louisvilles Ekstrom Library, where they form the foundation
of what library officials hope will become a carefully curated comic
archive much like the famous one at the Browne Popular Culture Library at
Bowling Green State University in Ohio.
.
Tonight, the collection will make its public debut with an open reception
from 5 to 7 p.m. in the Rare Books Kain Gallery at Ekstrom. It will remain
on display through Oct. 7.
.
The whole thing about this is to be able to share something I really love,
and I do love them, said Wilson, senior vice president of investments for
The Trident Group. A lot of people my age start thinking about legacy,
leaving something that people will remember. This is so cool to have an
institution like U of L say, Hey, well embrace this, well take care of it,
well help spread the message.
