The object in the museum catalogue
Original spiral-bound comic book based on the web series The Guild. Felicia Day is the star and creator of this comedic series about avid gamers and their obsession with fantasy MMORPG video games. The Guild premiered on YouTube on July 27, 2007 and ran until 2013. Throughout these years, the web series won six Streamy Awards, four IAWTV Awards, and was named one of “The Net’s Best Serial Shows” by Rolling Stone in 2009.
The Guild is reflective of the popularity of web series and the burgeoning internet community of the early 2000s. Felicia Day’s success as a female web series creator, gamer, and writer is also notable because video game culture is predominated by men.
