When Watchmen hit stands in 1986, the comic book world broke away from the shielding restrictions of the Comics Code1 and started an era almost devoid of censorship. Graphic novels such as Watchmen and Frank Miller’s The Dark Knight Returns opened up opportunities for comics unheard of in the Silver Age.2 Comic book creators were no longer held back by inflicted rules and were free to display the gritty and psychological depths of reality within the glossy pages.

Once you have chosen your team, use the following rules to configure it: • You must select a model to be the Team’s Boss. This model doesn’t need to have the Leader or Sidekick Rank – s/he can also be a Free Agent.

Not least, thank you to Alissa Feffer for cherishing the ‘real’ me. iii ABSTRACT Author: Adam Berzak Title: The Power of Subtext and the Politics of Closure: An Examination of Self, Representation, and Audience in 3 Narrative Forms Institution: Florida Atlantic University Thesis Advisor: Quentin Youngberg Degree: Master of Arts Year: 2010 This thesis explores the ways that certain artists—including Joseph Conrad, Alan Moore, Richard Attenborough, and Francis Ford Coppola—break from their inherited traditions in order to speak from an alternative perspective to western discourse. Conventional narrative formulas prescribe that meaning will be revealed in a definitive end, but all of the texts discussed reveal other avenues through which it is discerned. In Heart of Darkness, the tension between two divergent narratives enables Conrad to speak beyond his social context and imperialist limitations to demonstrate that identity is socially constructed. In Watchmen, Moore breaks from comic convention to illustrate ways meaning may be ascertained despite the lack of plot ends.

  • Vigilantes, Incorporated: an Ideological Economy of the Superhero Blockbuster
    VIGILANTES, INCORPORATED: AN IDEOLOGICAL ECONOMY OF THE SUPERHERO BLOCKBUSTER BY EZRA CLAVERIE DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English with a minor in Cinema Studies in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2016 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor José B. Capino, Chair Associate Professor Jim Hansen Associate Professor Lilya Kaganovsky Associate Professor Robert A. Rushing Professor Frank Grady,Department of English, University of Missouri, Saint Louis ii ABSTRACT Since 2000, the comic-book superhero blockbuster has become Hollywood’s most salient genre. “Heroes, Incorporated: A Political Economy of the Superhero Blockbuster” examines these seemingly reactionary fantasies of American power, analyzing their role in transmedia storytelling for a conglomerated and world-spanning entertainment industry. This dissertation argues that for all their apparent investment in the status quo and the hegemony of white men, superhero blockbusters actually reveal the disruptive and inhuman logic of capital, which drives both technological and cultural change. Although focused on the superhero film from 2000 to 2015, this project also considers the print and electronic media across which conglomerates extend their franchises. It thereby contributes to the materialist study of popular culture and transmedia adaptation, showing how 21st century Hollywood adapts old media for new platforms, technologies, and audiences. The first chapter traces the ideology of these films to their commercial roots, arguing that screen superheroes function as allegories of intellectual property. The hero’s “brand” identity signifies stability, even as the character’s corporate owners continually revise him (rarely her).

  • Watchmen Thesis
    1 I. Introduction My argument begins with a quote from the blog of Tony Long, a writer for the magazine Wired , a magazine which is immersed in popular culture and technology, and is usually ahead of the times in its cultural evaluations. However, there are still some areas in which the writers are not completely aware of the changes of genre, as Long demonstrates in his argument for why a graphic novel that was recently nominated for the National Book Award should not be eligible. Long says, I have not read this particular "novel" but I'm familiar with the genre so I'm going to go out on a limb here. First, I'll bet for what it is, it's pretty good. Probably damned good. But it's a comic book. And comic books should not be nominated for National Book Awards, in any category. That should be reserved for books that are, well, all words. This is not about denigrating the comic book, or graphic novel, or whatever you want to call it. This is not to say that illustrated stories don't constitute an art form or that you can't get tremendous satisfaction from them. This is simply to say that, as literature, the comic book does not deserve equal status with real novels, or short stories. (para 15-16) Long feels quite strongly that graphic novels are “comic books,” and does not know of any distinction between the two. He considers “comic books” and graphic novels to both be “illustrated stories” and so not eligible to be considered “literature.” His distinction of literature seems to be that of novels and short stories, and the reason those are literary is because they are “all words.” Long is displaying a prejudice towards what he considers “comic books” that is endemic to the mind of the American reader, and most American scholars.
