...itself in a willingness to expose the materials of comix. The typically taboo corners, edges and surfaces of the original artwork have been made fully visible in some cases. "Castor and Pollux," a poetic single page by an artist known as "C.F." appears on a piece of torn-out spiral notepaper, complete with the rough fringe on the left edge.

...Aztecs' harsh nature pervades the show, for which the Guggenheim has swathed the walls of its famous spiral ramp in black felt as a somber background. Early on, one encounters the splendid and somewhat hair-raising clay sculpture known as the Eagle Warrior, circa 1440-69, staring down from a shelf 6 ft. off the floor, as if on a ledge to surprise his enemies.
