Unless this is your first experience with HIDEOUTS & HOODLUMS SUPPLEMENT IV, you know that the book was split in two halves because it took one whole year to write Part I and I got impatient to share it. You are now in possession of Part II, or the second half, alphabetically, of the Golden Age publishers up through 1941. Something that’s different this time is that I didn’t do it alone. Frequent H&H collaborator, Steve Lopez, hopped on board, not only to make sure I got this half done in a timely manner, but to make sure that his favorite publishers, Lev Gleason and Quality Comics, did not receive short shrift (and don’t ask him about how I left Hawkman out of Part I – sore subject!). One bonus this part has that Part I lacked is the inclusion of original Heroes. Here you will find a small sampling of Heroes specifically created and played the longest in various H&H games to date. The research for a project like this is a dream job and I’m sad to see it done, though I won’t be completely giving it up. Further write-ups should be trickling into future issues of our zine, THE TROPHY CASE. So read on, gentle readers, and get a blast from the past! Scott Casper May 3, 2013 Sample file 4 HARVEY COMICS According to Wikipedia, “Harvey Comics (also known as Harvey World Famous Comics, Harvey Publications, Harvey Comics Entertainment, Harvey Hits, Harvey Illustrated Humor, and Harvey Picture Magazines) was an American comic book publisher, founded in New York City by Alfred Harvey in 1941, after buying out the small publisher Brookwood Publications.” Harvey also bought out some titles from Holyoke, like Champ Comics. Although Harvey had a semi-big hit on their hands with Brookwood’s biggest hit, Shock Gibson, their biggest coup was landing the license to making Green Hornet comic books. BLACK CAT Armor Class: 8 [11] Level: 2 Move: 60 Class: Fighter Hit Points: 18 Align: Neutral First appearance: Pocket Comics #1 (August 1941) Appearances to date: Pocket Comics #1-3 While working on a new movie, famous actress Linda Turner suspected her director of being a spy due to the film's pro-Nazi propaganda content. She created a masked identity for herself and, working by night as The Black Cat, was able to prove that director Garboil was indeed a German agent. Although she was able to thwart Garboil's plans throughout 1941, Black Cat never turned him over to the police in the hope that he would lead her to the mastermind behind the fifth columnist schemes. Black Cat is a skillful fighter, often using ju-jitsu techniques to overcome larger foes. Her preference was act as a cat burglar (hence her name) to sneak around and gather evidence. She was often aided by newspaperman Rick Horn, who was also Black Cat's on again/off again love interest; Horn was unaware of Black Cat's true identity. CHAMP Armor Class: 7 [12] Class: Fighter Move: 60 Level: 4 Hit Points: 23 Align: Lawful First appearance: Champion Comics #2 (Dec. 1939) Appearances to date: Champion Comics #2-10, Champ Comics #11-16 According to the Public Domain Super Heroes wiki, “The Champ was college football star who fought to prevent foreign spies such as the Yellow Spider from getting their hands on Dr. Marlin's formula. He was known only as the Champ and had no other name. Described on the cover of Champion Comics #2 as ‘a real he-man, an all-around champion, winning fame and fortune by his sheer physical strength, his unusual agility and great courage. Follow his exciting adventures in college sport. Go with him into battle against the dangerous underworld and treacherous foreign spies’.” Dr. Marlin’s formula made Champ the perfect physical specimen he is, long before doping became common in sports. Champ travels around with his nerdy sidekick, Henry. DR. MIRACLE Armor Class: 9 [10] Level: 3 Move: 60 Class: Magic User Hit Points: 20 Align: Lawful First appearance: Champion Comics #9 (July 1940) SampleAppearances to date: Champion Comics #9-10; Champ Comics #11-16 file 5 Although Dr. Miracle was called a “master of magic”, he was billed as a “super-scientific detective” on the splash pages of his tales. Based in the Himalayas, Dr. Miracle used (or developed) a brand of science so advanced that it seemed like magic to others, hence his characterization in H&H as a member of the Magic-User class. Like many other comic book magicians, Dr. Miracle dressed in evening clothes; his attire was accented by an amulet, a red sash, and a matching cape. Aided by his turban-clad manservant Hakim, Dr Miracle captured evildoers and solved cases which were too tough for the police to crack. In addition to his mental abilities and powers of illusion, Dr. Miracle had numerous technological advances available to him, such as a thought detector (with a range of hundreds of miles) and an advanced airplane (which was armed with a high powered “demolition gun”). PAT PARKER, WAR NURSE Armor Class: 9 [10] Level: 2 Move: 60 Class: Fighter Hit Points: 19 Align: Lawful First appearance: Speed Comics #13 (May 1941) Appearances to date: Speed Comics #13-15 When the Nazi Germans bombed Doville, England during the Blitz, nurse Pat Parker was on hand to help the villagers find shelter in nearby caves and to treat their wounds. While getting a breath of air outside the caves, Pat heard a strange sound nearby and discovered enemy agents signaling in morse code that the English Channel had been mined. After a series of hair-raising encounters, Pat successfully warned the British Navy about the mines and thwarted the Nazi plans. Pat continued to fight the fascists as a sort of solitary guerrilla; by the end of 1941 she had adopted a mask and costume, and began to call herself War Nurse when disguised. (Late in 1942 Pat became the leader of a team of female aviators known as the Girl Commandos; the feature was heavily [and obviously] patterned after Quality Comics' popular Blackhawk series, right down to similarities in costume between the two teams.)

    Copyright 2013 Shawn Patrick Gilmore THE INVENTION OF THE GRAPHIC NOVEL: UNDERGROUND COMIX AND CORPORATE AESTHETICS BY SHAWN PATRICK GILMORE DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2013 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor Michael Rothberg, Chair Professor Cary Nelson Associate Professor James Hansen Associate Professor Stephanie Foote ii Abstract This dissertation explores what I term the invention of the graphic novel, or more specifically, the process by which stories told in comics (or graphic narratives) form became longer, more complex, concerned with deeper themes and symbolism, and formally more coherent, ultimately requiring a new publication format, which came to be known as the graphic novel. This format was invented in fits and starts throughout the twentieth century, and I argue throughout this dissertation that only by examining the nuances of the publishing history of twentieth-century comics can we fully understand the process by which the graphic novel emerged. In particular, I show that previous studies of the history of comics tend to focus on one of two broad genealogies: 1) corporate, commercially-oriented, typically superhero-focused comic books, produced by teams of artists; 2) individually-produced, counter-cultural, typically autobiographical underground comix and their subsequent progeny. In this dissertation, I bring these two genealogies together, demonstrating that we can only truly understand the evolution of comics toward the graphic novel format by considering the movement of artists between these two camps and the works that they produced along the way.

  • Chapter 3 Heroines in a Time of War: Nelvana of the Northern Lights And
    Chapter 3 Heroines in a Time of War: Nelvana of the Northern Lights and Wonder Woman as Symbols of the United States and Canada Scores of superheroes emerged in comic books just in time to defend the United States and Canada from the evil machinations of super-villains, Hitler, Mussolini, and other World War II era enemies. By 1941, War Nurse Pat Parker, Miss America, Pat Patriot, and Miss Victory were but a few of the patriotic female characters who had appeared in comics to fight villains and promote the war effort. These characters had all but disappeared by 1946, a testament to their limited wartime relevance. Though Nelvana of the Northern Lights (hereafter “Nelvana”) and Wonder Woman first appeared alongside the others in 1941, they have proven to be more enduring superheroes than their crime-fighting colleagues. In particular, Nelvana was one of five comic book characters depicted in the 1995 Canada Post Comic Book Stamp Collection, and Wonder Woman was one of ten DC Comics superheroes featured in the 2006 United States Postal Service (USPS) Commemorative Stamp Series. The uniquely enduring iconic statuses of Nelvana and Wonder Woman result from their adventures and character development in the context of World War II and the political, social, and cultural climates in their respective English-speaking areas of North America. Through a comparative analysis of Wonder Woman and Nelvana, two of their 1942 adventures, and their subsequent deployment through government-issued postage stamps, I will demonstrate how the two characters embody and reinforce what Michael Billig terms “banal nationalism” in their respective national contexts.

    SUPERGIRLS AND WONDER WOMEN: FEMALE REPRESENTATION IN WARTIME COMIC BOOKS by Skyler E. Marker A Master's paper submitted to the faculty of the School of Information and Library Science of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Library Science. Chapel Hill, North Carolina May, 2017 Approved by: ________________________ Rebecca Vargha Skyler E. Marker. Supergirls and Wonder Women: Female Representation in Wartime Comics. A Master's paper for the M.S. in L.S. degree. May, 2017. 70 pages. Advisor: Rebecca Vargha This paper analyzes the representation of women in wartime era comics during World War Two (1941-1945) and Operation Iraqi Freedom (2001-2010). The questions addressed are: In what ways are women represented in WWII era comic books? What ways are they represented in Post 9/11 comic books? How are the representations similar or different? In what ways did the outside war environment influence the depiction of women in these comic books? In what ways did the comic books influence the women in the war outside the comic pages? This research will closely examine two vital periods in the publications of comic books. The World War II era includes the genesis and development to the first war-themed comics. In addition many classic comic characters were introduced during this time period. In the post-9/11 and Operation Iraqi Freedom time period war-themed comics reemerged as the dominant format of comics. Headings: women in popular culture-- United States-- History-- 20th Century Superhero comic books, strips, etc.-- History and criticism World War, 1939-1945-- Women-- United States Iraq war (2003-2011)-- Women-- United States 1 I.
