Complexity in the Comic and Graphic Novel Medium: Inquiry Through Bestselling Batman Stories
Complexity in the Comic and Graphic Novel Medium: Inquiry Through Bestselling Batman Stories PAUL A. CRUTCHER DAPTATIONS OF GRAPHIC NOVELS AND COMICS FOR MAJOR MOTION pictures, TV programs, and video games in just the last five Ayears are certainly compelling, and include the X-Men, Wol- verine, Hulk, Punisher, Iron Man, Spiderman, Batman, Superman, Watchmen, 300, 30 Days of Night, Wanted, The Surrogates, Kick-Ass, The Losers, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, and more. Nevertheless, how many of the people consuming those products would visit a comic book shop, understand comics and graphic novels as sophisticated, see them as valid and significant for serious criticism and scholarship, or prefer or appreciate the medium over these film, TV, and game adaptations? Similarly, in what ways is the medium complex according to its ad- vocates, and in what ways do we see that complexity in Batman graphic novels? Recent and seminal work done to validate the comics and graphic novel medium includes Rocco Versaci’s This Book Contains Graphic Language, Scott McCloud’s Understanding Comics, and Douglas Wolk’s Reading Comics. Arguments from these and other scholars and writers suggest that significant graphic novels about the Batman, one of the most popular and iconic characters ever produced—including Frank Miller, Klaus Janson, and Lynn Varley’s Dark Knight Returns, Grant Morrison and Dave McKean’s Arkham Asylum, and Alan Moore and Brian Bolland’s Killing Joke—can provide unique complexity not found in prose-based novels and traditional films.

kvarter Volume 20. Spring 2020 • on the web akademiskacademic quarter Precarious Lines 1 Heroism and hyper-capability 90s Nightwing comics Charlotte Johanne Fabricius is a PhD Candidate at the Department for the Study of Culture at the University of Southern Denmark. Her doctoral research investigates manifestations of super- heroic girlhood in contemporary American superhero comics and builds upon her previous research in the in- tersection of comics studies and critical theory. She has previously published work on the monstrous and super- hero body politics. Abstract This article discusses the run of the comics series Nightwing (Dix- on/McDaniel 1996-2009) with particular focus on how hegemonic masculinity and bodily capability are linked and tied to a norma- tive concept of heroism. Through the visual style of the comics and the use of antagonists, the comics rehabilitate the excess and precar- ity of the hero, Nightwing, by contrasting him to more extreme forms of masculinity. Although the comics show Nightwing’s priv- ilege and ability to be precarious and a source of anxiety and height- ened visual tension, the subversive potentials remain unrealized. By relegating excessive, disabled, and working-class forms of mascu- linity to queered and villainized characters, the comics uphold a nuanced but ultimately normative heroic ideal. Keywords: superheroes, masculinity, able-bodiedness, comics, ori- entation “He’s gotta be strong, and he’s gotta be fast, and he’s gotta be larger than life,” sings Bonnie Tyler in what is perhaps the most common- ly referenced song in superhero scholarship, “Holding out for a Volume 20 92 Precarious Lines kvarter Charlotte Johanne Fabricius akademiskacademic quarter Hero” from 1984. -

“SIX FOR THE HANGMAN” Strange and Intriguing Murder Cases From The New Brunswick Past Barry J. Grant 1983; Fiddlehead Poetry Books & Goose Lane Editions, Ltd. Fredericton, NB ISBN 0-86492-042-3 Chapter Two “LIGHTS OUT” They found her under a hummock of moss in a field by the Harbour Road. The moss thereabouts was peculiar, a kind having long stems and feathery heads. It grew everywhere and one mound covered what looked much like any other. But one was different and “you wouldn’t have noticed it unless you were looking for it.” a policeman said later. Its difference was that a human foot protruded from it. “There she is!” a girl shrieked, and then fled. The girl who almost stepped on the mossy “grave” was one of the four who went to the lonely field that afternoon looking for traces of their friend. Moments before Cpl. Dunn had found a girl’s shoe, the mate to another Thomas Gaudet picked up a few hours earlier on Deadman’s Harbour Road nearby. Gaudet spotted the show as he and Oscar Craig walked along the road about 4:00 pm that Sunday in 1942. It was a good shoe and a new one. Not all women in Blacks Harbour had such expensive footwear as this. News travels fast in a small town. He’d heard that day that one of the Connors girls was missing and suspicion made him take the shoe home. One of the Gaudet children was almost certain: it belong to Bernice Connors. Bernice, one of a family of 12 children, lived with her parents, Mr. -

MLJ's Silver Age Revivals
ASK MR. SHUTTSILVER AGE “Too Many Super Heroes” doesn’t really do this group justice MLJ’s Silver Age revivals by CRAIG SHUTT Dear Mr. Silver Age, I’m a big fan of The Fly and Fly Girl, and I understand they were members of a super-hero team. Do you know who else was a member? Betty C. Riverdale Mr. Silver Age says: I sure do, Bets, and you’ll be happy to hear that a few of those stalwart super-heroes are returning to the pages of DC’s comic books. The first to arrive are The Shield, The Web, The Hangman, and Inferno. They’re being touted as the heroes from Archie Comics’ short-lived Red Circle line of the 1980s, but they all got their start much earlier than that, including brief appearances in the Silver Age. During those halcyon days, they all were members of (or at least tried out for) The Mighty Crusaders! And, if the new adventures prove popular, there are plenty more heroes awaiting their own revival. The Mighty Crusaders, Archie’s response to the mid-1960s success of super-hero teams, got their start in Fly Man #31 (May 65). The team consisted of The Shield, Black Hood, The Comet, Fly Man (né The Fly), and Fly Girl. The first three were revived versions of Golden Age characters, while the latter two starred in their own Silver Age series. The heroes teamed up for several issues and then began individual back-up adventures through #39. They also starred in seven issues of Mighty Crusaders starting with #1 (Nov 65) and then took over Fly Man in various combinations, when it became Mighty Comics with #40 (Nov 66). -
