Superhero buffs, the University Of Tampa has got your back. A new, immersive exhibit at the Scarfone Hartley Gallery of Art—“Zooming Superheroes: From Dyes to DPI, The Visual and Technical Evolution of Comic Book Printing”—displays the history of both comic books, and color printing in general.

Patrons can trace their favorite characters out of Marvel, DC, and Dark Horse comics, see the many changes in inking and coloration, and even take part in a hands-on scan of historic comics from “The Death of Superman” to some post-WWII-era “Weird Tales” books.

Perhaps this exhibit will spark an urge to buy physical comic books again, so when you’re done at the free exhibit go give your support to Tampa’s Nerd Out or Pinellas Park’s Emerald City when you’re done, willya?

There’s no cover for “Zooming Superheroes from Dyes to DPI: The Visual and Technical Evolution of Comic Book Printing,” which runs through Oct. 6.
