Henry Darger, everyone's favorite outsider artist, has an exhibit at the American Folk Art Museum this month. The exhibit will feature excerpts from Darger's 15,000 page graphic novel, The Story of the Vivian Girls, in what is Known as the Realms of the Unreal, of the Glandeco-Angelinnian War Storm, Caused by the Child Slave Rebellion. Runs through the 21st of September.

Here's some horribly biased coverage.
