  • The Nemedian Chroniclers #22 [WS16]
    REHeapa Winter Solstice 2016 By Lee A. Breakiron A WORLDWIDE PHENOMENON Few fiction authors are as a widely published internationally as Robert E. Howard (e.g., in Bulgarian, Croatian, Czech, Dutch, Estonian, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Lithuanian, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Slovak, Spanish, Swedish, Turkish, and Yugoslavian). As former REHupan Vern Clark states: Robert E. Howard has long been one of America’s stalwarts of Fantasy Fiction overseas, with extensive translations of his fiction & poetry, and an ever mushrooming distribution via foreign graphic story markets dating back to the original REH paperback boom of the late 1960’s. This steadily increasing presence has followed the growing stylistic and market influence of American fantasy abroad dating from the initial translations of H.P. Lovecraft’s Arkham House collections in Spain, France, and Germany. The growth of the HPL cult abroad has boded well for other American exports of the Weird Tales school, and with the exception of the Lovecraft Mythos, the fantasy fiction of REH has proved the most popular, becoming an international literary phenomenon with translations and critical publications in Spain, Germany, France, Greece, Poland, Japan, and elsewhere. [1] All this shows how appealing REH’s exciting fantasy is across cultures, despite inevitable losses in stylistic impact through translations. Even so, there is sometimes enough enthusiasm among readers to generate fandom activities and publications. We have already covered those in France. [2] Now let’s take a look at some other countries. GERMANY, AUSTRIA, AND SWITZERLAND The first Howard stories published in German were in the fanzines Pioneer #25 and Lands of Wonder ‒ Pioneer #26 (Austratopia, Vienna) in 1968 and Pioneer of Wonder #28 (Follow, Passau, Germany) in 1969.

  • Copyright 2013 Shawn Patrick Gilmore
    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.

Available at: https://digitalcommons.lsu.edu/cwbr/vol2/iss2/1 Theriot: 'Unrelenting Suspense': An Interview With John Jakes, Chronicler Interview 'UNRELENTING SUSPENSE': AN INTERVIEW WITH JOHN JAKES, CHRONICLER OF THE AMERICAN EPIC Theriot, Katie L. Spring 2000 Civil War Book Review (cwbr): You have achieved prominence as a writer of historical fiction. Do you see your role as primarily literary or historical -- or both? John Jakes (jj): From the time I made my first sale (a 1500-word short story in 1950), writing an entertaining narrative was my chief goal. It was, that is, until the 1970s, when I began to research and write the first of The Kent Family Chronicles. At that point something new intruded: before starting to write the first volume, The Bastard (Jove, ISBN 0515099279, $7.99 softcover), I decided to think of the novels as perhaps the only books about a given period that someone might read. The history therefore had to be as correct as conscientious research could make it without devoting a lifetime to it. I have followed that path ever since, with two goals for every novel: the entertaining story and the accurate history. Readers have come to appreciate and expect that duality, and indeed some have said that people have probably learned more history from me than from all the teachers, texts, and scholarly tomes in existence.

  • The Complete Chronicles of Conan by Robert E. Howard the Complete Chronicles of Conan
    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} The Complete Chronicles of Conan by Robert E. Howard The Complete Chronicles of Conan. I first encountered Conan in late-1970/early-1971 in the form of the Marvel comic Conan the Barbarian , largely because of the beautiful Barry Windsor Smith art (in 20 of the first 22 issues, and the lovely 'treasury edition' of the adaptation of "Red Nails") though, over time, I also learned to appreciate Roy Thomas' scripts - at least for the first 70 or so issues, but that's another story: see various reviews of the current Dark Horse trade paperbacks on this site, but I digress. I only started reading the Howard Conan stories from about 1974 onwards in the Sphere editions, edited and, in some cases, completed by L Sprague de Camp, Lin Carter and Bjorn Nyberg. I had read other work of Howard's before then, largely in anthologies celebrating Weird Tales , but at that time I was more into HP Lovecraft, William Hope Hodgson, Clark Ashton Smith and the art of Virgil Finlay, to name but a few. Be that as it may, from the mid-seventies onwards I was hooked on Howard and on Conan, King Kull, Solomon Kane, Bran Mak Morn, Cormac Mac Art, you name it. My collection started to swell with more Sphere paperbacks, but also Ace, Zebra, Panther, Berkley Medallion, Bantam, Baen and Orbit editions, some very nicely illustrated. And the covers were always brilliant too, including the work of the wonderful Frank Frazetta, Chris Achilleos, Boris Vallejo, Jeff Jones, Mike Kaluta and others.

Washburn The line between news and entertainment on television grows more blurry every day. Heated debates over what is news and what is entertainment pepper local, national, and cable newsrooms. Cable channels devoted entirely to entertainment and a plethora of syndicated, half-hour entertainment news magazines air nightly. It was not always so. When “Entertainment Tonight” premiered in 1981, the first daily half-hour syndicated news program, no one thought it would survive. No one believed there was enough celebrity and Hollywood news to fill a daily half-hour, much less interest an audience. Still, “ET” set out to become the glitzy, glamorous newscast of record for the entertainment industry and twenty-seven years later is still going strong.

    Old School Dungeons & Dragons™ Inspirational Reading List 2008 Edition Edited by Kellri [email protected] http://kellri.blogspot.com While there are bookcases in the upper studio, elsewhere on the second floor, and on the first floor, the main repository of printed lore (other than that piled here and there) is my basement library which includes thousands of reference works, maps, magazines, and works of fiction. - E. Gary Gygax Some guidelines for future contributors: (1) No Forgotten Realms/Dragonlance/etc. tie-ins. This is not a list of licensed gaming fiction. You’ll thank me later. (2) No campaign journals, fan-written fiction or other unpublished/amateur work. See (1). (3) No gaming sourcebooks, modules, rulebooks or magazines (unless they contain reprinted or original fiction). For a list of old school gaming materials, surf to the Acaeum. (4) Include in-line links to the material. In some cases these books are available online for free, if not, they are available from Amazon. Several gaming-related reader’s lists are already available at Amazon, and can be a decent way to find reviews for many of these books. c.f. http://www.amazon.com/D-Inspirational-Educational-Reading-Appendix/lm/2K4BPQB553DZ1 (5) A descriptive blurb would be great, or optionally a short list of keywords or tags for the DM looking for specific inspiration. Examples might include ELVES, DUNGEON, DRAGON, THIEVES, OGRES, etc. (6) In the case of series or trilogies, please include the titles of the individual books if possible.

  • The Nemedian Chroniclers #4
    REHEAPA Winter Solstice 2009 By Lee A. Breakiron FANDOM AT A CROSSROADS Fantasy Crossroads was a semi-pro publication that became the premier fantasy fanzine after the demise of Glenn Lord’s The Howard Collector in 1973. Edited and published by Jonathan Bacon quarterly over the last half of the 1970s, it ran 15 issues, plus one Special Edition. In the first issue, Bacon states: Fantasy Crossroads is not only the title of this fanzine, it’s also a statement of philosophy. The area of fantasy literature has been neglected either because of intellectual snobbery or because it was considered the realm of children. I will not attempt to rationalize fantasy literature as an area of great intellectual pursuit. Fantasy has always been an escape … and in high pressure, high tension times any escape mechanism which does not pervert the human spirit is welcome. On the other hand no one can deny that fantasy literature contains its share of classics. He goes on to say that the field includes Sword and Sorcery, epitomized by Robert E. Howard’s Conan, and is a grand field with plenty of territory to cover. Fantasy Crossroads intends to bring these areas together. We intend to be the crossroads where the various sectors of fantasy fandom gather to exchange their best works and criticize their worst. We hope to present more than just fan and pro work in these pages. We want to present not only the written work of Robert E. Howard (for example) but also background on the man from his letters and his friends.
