Brooklyn Branch

Large Meeting Room (60)

Explore the fascinating connection between comic books and mental health in this presentation by Valentino Zullo.

See other dates and locations for this program on our events calendar.

This presentation will explore the ways that comics have both documented and responded to the shifting landscape of mental health in America in the 20th and 21st centuries. From the creation of Wonder Woman to the post-war horror comics, to Spider-Man and the Joker, the medium and its creator have long been invested in exploring and better understanding the mind.

Valentino Zullo is Assistant Professor of English and the Anisfield-Wolf Fellow in English and Public Humanities at Ursuline College. He is also a licensed independent social worker in psychoanalytic training at the Cleveland Psychoanalytic Center.

About the branch

CCPL’s popular toy collection got its start as a special collection located in the Brooklyn Branch. The collection was housed exclusively at the Brooklyn Branch from 1992 until 2007, when access was expanded throughout the county. Today, anyone with a CCPL library card can request toys from the collection and have them delivered to the CCPL branch of their choice for pick-up.

This branch is a Student Success Center and a Greater Cleveland Food Bank Kids Café location.
