When you have an office for comic books, you expect to see comic book art. That's exactly what DC Entertainment's Burbank office is all about. Last night the doors were opened for an open house and private reception for "Darkness & Light: Art Inspired by Heroes & Villains, Hope & Heroism." The gallery is a collection of more than 100 original works from artists across the globe. The pieces range in various forms.
The original artwork is inspired by the universe of DC Comics characters and will also raise awareness for DC Entertainment's WE CAN BE HEROES giving campaign. www.WeCanBeHeroes.org
In attendance at the unveilling was Brian Deputy, Vice Vice President of Worldwide Creative, Warner Bros. Consumer Products and curator of ‘Darkness & Light; Executive Vice President of Sales & Marketing John Rood, President Diane Nelson, Chief Creative Officer Geoff Johns and Co-Publisher Jim Lee.

If only every office could look this colorful. It just proves that comics should be considered art.
Update
Up next, “Darkness & Light” will take to the road with a series of public exhibitions that will continue to benefit and raise awareness for WE CAN BE HEROES, including a showing in San Diego at the premier Michael J. Wolf gallery during Comic-Con International from July 13-15. Additional exhibition dates and locations to be announced this summer.
