Stephen A. Geppi has donated more than 3,000 pop-culture items to the Library of Congress. (Shawn Miller / Library of Congress) (by (Shawn Miller / Library of Congress))STEPHEN A. GEPPI stood at a Library of Congress lectern last week, surrounded by such collectible friends as Captain America, G.I. The first rendering of Captain America, on display at the Library of Congress. But the vital hope for his donation, he said, is that his pop-culture items will help alter common perception about the library as America’s museum. Hayden said that Geppi also responded to the enthusiasm that the Library of Congress’s curatorial team has for comic and popular art.
