  • Superhero Origins As a Sentence Punctuation Exercise
    Superhero Origins as a Sentence Punctuation Exercise The Definition of a Comic Book Superhero A comic book super hero is a costumed fictional character having superhuman/extraordinary skills and has great concern for right over wrong. He or she lives in the present and acts to benefit all mankind over the forces of evil. Some examples of comic book superheroes include: Superman, Batman, Spiderman, Wonder Woman, and Plastic Man. Each has a characteristic costume which distinguishes them from everyday citizens. Likewise, all consistently exercise superhuman abilities for the safety and protection of society against the forces of evil. They ply their gifts in the present-contemporary environment in which they exist. The Sentence Punctuation Assignment From earliest childhood to old age, the comics have influenced reading. Whether the Sunday comic strips or editions of Disney’s works, comic book art and narratives have been a reading catalyst. Indeed, they have played a huge role in entertaining people of all ages. However, their vocabulary, sentence structure, and overall appropriateness as a reading resource is often in doubt. Though at times too “graphic” for youth or too “childish” for adults, their use as an educational resource has merit. Such is the case with the following exercise. Superheroes as a sentence punctuation learning toll. Among the most popular of comic book heroes is Superman. His origin and super-human feats have thrilled comic book readers, theater goers, and television watchers for decades. However, many other comic book superheroes exist. Select one from those superhero origin accounts which follow and compose a four paragraph superhero origin one page double-spaced narative of your selection.

By Lyndsey Erin Shelton Under the mentorship of Dr. Darin H. Van Tassell ABSTRACT It is a widely accepted notion that a child can only be called stupid for so long before they believe it, can only be treated in a particular way for so long before that is the only way that they know. Why is that notion never applied to how we treat, address, and present religion and the religious to children and young adults? In recent years, questions have been continuously brought up about how we portray violence, sexuality, gender, race, and many other issues in popular media directed towards young people, particularly video games.

  • Captain America, Watergate, and the Falcon- Rediscovering The
    Ahmed, Michael Captain America, Watergate and the Falcon Captain America, Watergate, and the Falcon: Rediscovering the American Dream? Michael Ahmed Introduction The comic book superhero Captain America, aka. Steve Rogers, made his first appearance in Captain America Comics #1, cover dated March 1941, published by Timely Comics, the predecessor to the Marvel Comics Group. Although America had not entered the war, Captain America’s creators Jack Kirby and Joe Simon suggested to Martin Goodman, the publisher of Timely Comics, that their new superhero ‘do battle with the Nazis’, to which Goodman ‘enthusiastically agreed’ – the cover of the very first issue depicted the superhero punching Hitler on the jaw: ‘Smashing Thru, Captain America came face to face with Hitler….’ (Wright 2008: 76). At a time when popular superheroes like Superman and Batman were fighting aliens, outlandish super-villains or grotesque mobsters, Kirby and Simon were committed to showing Captain America’s war time exploits. For example in their second issue, Captain America and Bucky, his superhero teenage sidekick, infiltrated a concentration camp in the Black Forest, and once again came face to face with Hitler. Subsequent issues with titles like ‘Trapped in the Nazi Stronghold’, ‘Blitzkrieg in Berlin’, and ‘Tojo’s Terror Masters’ give a flavour of Captain America’s crime fighting career at this time. Captain America was not only a potent comic book symbol of American armed forces ready to fight against fascism but more importantly, as Kirby later recalled, ‘he symbolized the American Dream […] Captain America was an outpouring of my own patriotism’ (Wright 2008: 76). This paper will primarily focus on comic book writer Steve Englehart’s tenure on the comic book during the early 1970s, and in particular a storyline that reinterpreted the real-life Watergate scandal.

  • MARVEL POP ART PRODUCTIONS the Classic Marvel Comics Group—Set in the Modern Day
    MARVEL POP ART PRODUCTIONS The Classic Marvel Comics Group—Set in the Modern Day A Proposal by Carlton J Donaghe This is a proposal for a line of giant, magazine-sized Marvel Comics, published for an all-ages, general market under the banner ‘Marvel Pop Art Productions.’ This line doesn’t replace any imprint currently published by Marvel. Instead, this self- contained set of 12 monthly titles will present a modernized version of the original Marvel Comics Group (with some later characters thrown in) packaged into an easily- accessible product designed for the general distribution market. The depiction of Marvel’s most recognizable characters in their well-known original costumes and settings will both benefit from and promote the continued use of the classic comics in merchandise and licensing. Format Each issue of every title will contain three 20-page comics, each comic with its own interior cover page and two-page spread of introductions and recaps using art from previous issues. In addition, every issue will contain a set of features, called the FOOM (Friends Of Ol’ Marvel) Pages—all in a single format, pulling the entire line together, making every one of the twelve titles an individual part of a single, sprawling epic. The front cover of each title will be a modernized version of the classic Marvel Comics Group format from the mid-1960’s, decorated with captions and blurbs in boxes, circles and arrows, and an action-oriented cover, drawn by a regular rotation of the three interior artists, depicting an exciting scene from their own story in the moment it is happening.

It deals with their beliefs, legends, and traditions, their government and social life, their racial and somatic peculiarities, and, more extensively, with their language. To this the reader is introduced by numerous ethnographic "Texts," suggested or dictated by the Indians themselves, and accompanied by an interlinear translation and by "Notes," a method which I regard as the most efficient means of becoming acquainted with any language. In this report I have given prominence to the exposition of the language, because I consider language to be the most important monument of the American Indian.
