    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.

  • 1 CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION A. Background of the Study Searching for Existence Is Actually One of Human Efforts in Building His
    1 CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION A. Background of the Study Searching for existence is actually one of human efforts in building his meaning of life. Someone can find the meaning of life when he thinks that he manages to actualize his idealism. By actualizing his idealism, man can find his identity. In the scope of the society, then his existence will be built. The existence of a man can be seen from two sides. From the outside view, a man appears to be just another natural creature while from the inside view, he is an entirely independent universe, the center of his own infinity. Man is equal, but every human has his own worldexistentially, which differ him from other individual. This only understandable in the term of individual’s existence, his particular experience of life. Thus, to understand a man, somebody cannot merely appreciate him from his physical appearance. In etymology concept the word "existence" comes from the Latin word existere means "to appear", "to arise", "to become", or "to be", but literally, it means "to stand out". Everyone has their own existence, the existence is as the sigh of his purpose, the purpose is what he wants to become. The search for existence also appears in the major character of Red movie directed by Robert Schwentke. Red is a 2010 Americanaction comedy film inspired by the three- issuecomic book series of the same namecreated byWarren EllisandCully 1 2 Hamner, and published by theDC ComicsimprintHomage. The film starsBruce Willis,Morgan Freeman,John Malkovich,Mary-Louise Parker,Helen Mirren, andKarl UrbanwithRobert Schwentkedirecting ascreenplayby Jon Hoeber and Erich Hoeber.The screenplay of this movie is based on the cult D.C comics graphic novels written by Warren Ellis and Cully Hamner with the same title.

It argues that this connection was not integral to the character as he was originally created, but was imposed by later writers over time and mainly for cinematic adaptations. This thesis also tracks the history of how Christians and churches viewed Superman, as the film studios began to exploit marketing opportunities by comparing Superman and Jesus. This thesis uses the methodological framework of intertextuality to ground its treatment of the sources, but does not follow all of the assumptions of intertextual theorists. iii MA Thesis—Robert Revington; McMaster University, Religious Studies ABSTRACT This thesis examines the historical trajectory of how the comic book character of Superman came to be identified as a Christ figure in popular consciousness.

Thursday, January 31, 2019 12:30PM-1:30PM Rm. 2339 Faculty Administration Bldg By the late 1940s, several groups were worried about the impact violence Chera Kee and gore in comics had on children. In response, the industry created the Comics Code Authority in 1954 to self-censor; one of the first things English prohibited was the zombie. However, from the start, comics producers tried to find ways around the Code, and in the early 1970s, the Code was finally Associate Professor of relaxed. It remained firm on zombies, though: as creatures without literary antecedent, zombies were considered too unrefined for comics readers. Film & Media Studies Yet, the zombie was experiencing a renaissance in pop culture, largely due to the cult success of Night of the Living Dead (1968), so Marvel found a new way to circumvent censorship with creatures called “zuvembies.” This presentation traces the history of the living dead in comics—from the 2019 HUMANITIES CENTER BROWN BAG SERIES BAG BROWN CENTER HUMANITIES 2019 horror comics of the 1950s to the zuvembies of the 1970s—to explore how - zombies in comics have consistently pushed the boundaries of acceptability while anticipating later shifts in how the undead have been conceived of in other mediums.
