What to expect

Exhibition CLING! Comics Talk Cash

The exhibition CLING! Comics Talk Cash offers a unique cultural experience in the heart of Paris. Through an immersive and richly illustrated journey, visitors discover how the world of comics approaches the themes of money, wealth, and power. Blending humor, social critique, and adventure, this exhibition highlights the role money has played in comic book storytelling for generations.

Held in a prestigious setting, the exhibition brings together exceptional works and immerses visitors in a fascinating dialogue between the imagination of comic artists and economic reality. It is an ideal opportunity for comic enthusiasts, curious visitors, and families to discover original comic pages, rare illustrations, and contemporary creations centered around a universal theme: our relationship with money.

A Dive into the World of Comics and Money

Money has always occupied a special place in comic book stories. Hidden treasures, colossal fortunes, spectacular heists, and quests for wealth are recurring themes that fuel the adventures of many famous characters. The exhibition CLING! Comics Talk Cash explores this fascinating relationship through a rich and accessible journey.

As they move through the exhibition, visitors discover how creators use money as a narrative driving force. In some stories, it represents the dream of adventure and the search for distant treasures. In others, it becomes a symbol of power, corruption, or social inequality. Comics thus offer both a playful and critical perspective on the way society perceives wealth and value.

The exhibition places nearly two centuries of graphic creation into perspective, showing how representations of money in comics have evolved over time.

Iconic Heroes of the Ninth Art

One of the great pleasures of this exhibition is encountering emblematic characters who have shaped the history of comics. Visitors will recognize several famous figures whose adventures are often linked to money, treasures, or incredible fortunes.

From explorers searching for lost riches to eccentric billionaires, ingenious adventurers, and clever swindlers, these characters illustrate different facets of the relationship between money and imagination. Their presence in the exhibition allows visitors to rediscover iconic scenes and explore the many ways comics address this universal theme.

These heroes, drawn from a variety of graphic traditions, also demonstrate the diversity of international comics, whether Franco-Belgian comics, American comic books, or other influential graphic styles.

More Than 250 Works on Display

The exhibition brings together more than 250 pieces from a variety of collections. Visitors can admire original comic pages, rare illustrations, historic editions, and various objects related to the world of comics.

Some works reveal the artists’ creative process in remarkable detail, including preliminary sketches, original drawings, and graphic compositions. Others showcase the evolution of characters and stories across decades.

This rich collection offers a unique insight into the creativity of comic artists and the way they transform a universal subject such as money into material for adventure, humor, and reflection.

An Original Thematic Journey
