ART

Comics on View: The Valiant Traveling Art Show, an exhibit of original comic-book artwork explaining the cartooning process from preliminary black-and-white pencil sketches to full-color product, opens at Golden Apple Comics in West Hollywood Monday. Among the cartoonists represented are Barry Windsor-Smith, who drew “Conan the Barbarian” comics; Steve Ditko, one of the original “Spider-Man” artists, and Frank Miller, the creator of “Batman: Legend of the Dark Night.” Valiant publishes the comic-book series “Magnus Robot Fighter,” “Eternal Warrior” and “The H.A.R.D. Corps.” After two weeks here, the exhibit moves on to San Francisco, New Orleans, Chicago and Philadelphia.
