Stern Writing Beowulf: The Graphic Novel has been one of the most fulfilling experiences of my career. I was captivated by the poem when I first read it decades ago. The translation was by Francis Gummere, and it was a truly masterful work, retaining all of the spirit that the anonymous author (or authors) invested in it while making it accessible to modern readers. “Modern” is, of course, a relative term. The Gummere translation was published in 1910. Yet it held up wonderfully, and over 60 years later, when I came upon it, my imagination was captivated by its powerful descriptions of life in a distant place and time.

  • Give Your Letterer a Work-Ready Script!
    Presents… The Paradigm I The Paradigm The Paradigm Auteurship in Comics It's been several decades since the late Brandon Tartikoff first identified comic books as the next big thing in dramatic narrative. He was right, of course, but unfortunately too ahead of the curve for three important reasons. One, the technical facility to recreate the fantastical nature of mainstream superhero comics on film or video--and let's not kid ourselves, that's the sort of comics he was talking about--simply didn't yet exist, and two, most of his fellow executives, his senior by ten to twenty five years on average, had little interest at best, and genuine contempt for the material at worst, and were unable to see its potential value. And three, of course, is the tragedy of a very young Tartikoff dropping dead--well before the world in which the comic book would be the driving force behind a billion dollar industry he knew it would come to be. Naturally, none of those billions trickle down to those of us who actually do comics. Rather, it's the descendants of those executives who didn't share Tartikoff's vision that reap the benefits. There are actually a number of people wielding power in Hollywood with an actual lifelong familiarity with comics--but there are far more men-- and a few women, but not many--who used to beat up guys like me in High School for reading comics, now making bank off the same shit they ridiculed. Who said irony was dead, right? And then there's that slew of all too good looking men and staggeringly beautiful women, who put on horn- rimmed glasses and similar paraphernalia so as to convey their "nerdishness" or "geekdom" in order to patronize a readily flattered and easily manipulated swarm of enthusiasts.

  • Comic Books: Superheroes/Heroines, Domestic Scenes, and Animal Images
    Curriculum Units by Fellows of the Yale-New Haven Teachers Institute 1980 Volume II: Art, Artifacts, and Material Culture Comic Books: Superheroes/heroines, Domestic Scenes, and Animal Images Curriculum Unit 80.02.03 by Patricia Flynn The idea of developing a unit on the American Comic Book grew from the interests and suggestions of middle school students in their art classes. There is a need on the middle school level for an Art History Curriculum that will appeal to young people, and at the same time introduce them to an enduring art form. The history of the American Comic Book seems appropriately qualified to satisfy that need. Art History involves the pursuit of an understanding of man in his time through the study of visual materials. It would seem reasonable to assume that the popular comic book must contain many sources that reflect the values and concerns of the culture that has supported its development and continued growth in America since its introduction in 1934 with the publication of Famous Funnies , a group of reprinted newspaper comic strips. From my informal discussions with middle school students, three distinctive styles of comic books emerged as possible themes; the superhero and the superheroine, domestic scenes, and animal images. These themes historically repeat themselves in endless variations. The superhero/heroine in the comic book can trace its ancestry back to Greek, Roman and Nordic mythology. Ancient mythologies may be considered as a way of explaining the forces of nature to man. Examples of myths may be found world-wide that describe how the universe began, how men, animals and all living things originated, along with the world’s inanimate natural forces.

  • A Module Compiled By
    A Module Compiled by: Dr. Ekawati Marhaenny Dukut, M.Hum. FACULTY OF LANGUAGE AND ARTS SOEGIJAPRANATA CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY SEMARANG 2016 ii GRAPHIC NOVELS MODULE FOREWORD In the Faculty of Language and Arts of Soegijapranata Catholic University, students majoring in Linguistics or Literature are not only required to speak English actively but also to write actively. There are a number of writing courses to be taken, but all of them are geared so their thesis writing meets the minimum academic standard. This module, however, is created for students who want to write creatively. Not only will students have a mastery of writing good narratives, but students can develop them in accordance to the theory of writing a story that is developed into a novel with an interesting plot like that learned from the Introduction of Literature course. As the name suggests, this Graphic Novels module aims to provide students the opportunity of creating their own graphics, too. For that purpose, students are advised to exercise their drawing skills either in free hand or by use of various electronic media and drawing softwares, such as the Adobe Flash or Coreldraw. I would like to thank the writer of this module for her time and effort of creating such a creative writing course and module. Finally, I do hope that students do benefit from this module. Angelika Riyandari Dean of the Faculty of Language and Arts GRAPHIC NOVELS MODULE iii SYLLABUS Course description: This course especially prepares students to make graphic novels/ comic books, i.e. a book that more or less follows the Manga cartoon drawing of the Japanese people.

  • The Dynamic Jerry Robinson
    Inspicio the last laugh Jerry Robinson, 1972. Photo: Kristen Robinson. The Dynamic Jerry Robinson By Jens Robinson y father, Sherrill David Robinson, known as Jerry Rob- inson, was born in New York on New Year’s Day in 1922 Mand died on Pearl Harbor Day in 2011. In between, he did a lot of historic things. BATMAN Jerry was a 17-year-old journalism student at Columbia Uni- versity in 1939 when he was discovered by Batman co-creator Bob Kane, who hired him to work on that fledgling comic as an inker and letterer. Kane, with writer Bill Finger, had just created the character Batman for National Comics, the future DC Com- ics. Within a year, Jerry became Batman’s primary inker, with George Roussos inking backgrounds. Batman quickly became a hit character and Kane rented space for Robinson and Rous- sos in Times Square’s Times Tower. By early 1940, Finger and Kane discussed adding a sidekick. Jerry suggested the name “Robin” after Robin Hood books he had read during his boyhood, saying, in a 2005 interview, that he was inspired by one book’s N.C. Wyeth illustrations. The new character, orphaned circus performer Dick Grayson, came to live with Bruce Wayne (Batman) as his young ward in Detec- tive Comics #38 (April 1940). Robin would inspire many similar sidekicks throughout the remainder of the Golden Age of comic books. Jerry Robinson and his startling invention -- The Joker Batman’s nemesis, the Joker, was introduced around the same time, in Batman #1 (Spring 1940). Most comic historians credit my father for the iconic villain, modeled after Conrad Veidt in the 1928 movie, The Man Who Laughs.

ISBN: 978-1-4742-2634-9 3 Katherine Marazi 4 Despite the ubiquity and current overabundance of superhero productions, academic publications and courses on superheroes are not as widespread. Fortunately, over the past decade traditional and online MOOC courses focused on superheroes as well as academic publications resulting from either conferences or individual research have grown in numbers and importance. One such publication, Chris Gavaler’s Superhero Comics, aims to historically and thematically inform readers on the form, contexts and genre of superhero comics. Beginning with “What is a superhero comic?” a question most readers today may feel fairly confident in answering, Gavaler provides a historic and thematic account of just how complex the answer to this question is. 5 Gavaler adopts a genre approach focusing on “the tradition of superheroes in superhero comics” whilst examining “pre-comics characters to the extent that they maintain a defining influence on their comics descendants” (2). Terminology is insufficient in fully understanding what comics are.
