Non-payers will be cut off the QQ mailing list terminally... An asterisk * denotes that multiple copies are available of an item. All items not otherwise specified are auctioned for Corflu's benefit. This list is complete with donations up to 8pm Friday night. More may yet follow (we understand that several more t-shirts are promised, for instance.) BOOKS: 1) The Evil Empire: 101 Ways That England Ruined The World by Steven A Grasse. Quirk, 1st ed. 2007. Britons! Buy this book and huff indignantly. Colonials! Buy this book and confirm everything you always suspected about us decadent Limeys. 2) Patron of the Arts by William Rotsler. iBooks, 2002. Forward by Harlan Ellison. Fandom's most prolific cartoonist picks up a Nebula fiction nomination. For TAFF 3) Amazing Stories, Jan 1972. Ed. Ted White, who also has a story “4.48pm, October 6, 197-...” Richard Lupoff and John Brunner also write. Fannish names in the lettercolumn; Cy Chauvin, Jim Meadows III, Jerry Lapidus (twice). Ask Ted to sign! 4) Topping Off The Spire by Ian R. MacLeod. Limited edition chapbook from Novacon 38, #162 of 250. Also contains “Me and the Mushroom Cloud”. 5) Starcombing by Dave Langford, Cosmos 1st ed. 2009 hb. A collection of the usual Langford wit in column form from SFX magazine. Unsigned at present... For TAFF 6) War in 2080 by Dave Langford, Westbridge 1st ed. 1979 hb. Langford's famous international bestseller. Again, he will no doubt inscribe it if asked politely. For TAFF 7) Hollywood Babble-On by John Brosnan. SeTo (New Zealand), 1st ed. 1989. “Rare” says Roy Kettle, who should know. Never heard of it previously myself... 8) Mothership by John Brosnan. Gollancz pb, 2004. John's last book but by no means his least. Persistent rumours of a sequel abound. 9) Harry Adam Knight Lot. SLIMER and THE FUNGUS (both Star paperback). Count the Tuckerisations in these Brosnan/Kettle authored horrorshows. * 10) The Foundation Trilogy. Doubleday one-volume hb. SIGNED BY ISAAC ASIMOV. Love or hate them, their place in SF history is undeniable, and Asimov sure as hell isn't going to be signing any more copies... 11) New Maps of Hell by Kingsley Amis (SFBC hb 1962). Hugely controversial in its day, this survey of SF is still very readable. 12) The Jewel in the Skull by Michael Moorcock, adapted as a graphic novel by James Cawthorn. Big O/Savoy 1979. Superb art from former fan artist. 13) The Invasion of the Frog People from Venus by Graham Charnock (Lulu). Earth-shattering and discombobulating, this will change the way you look both at fiction and at the universe itself. As indeed will -- 14) Battlestar Galactica Iron-On Transfer Book, 1979. “Use a clean, pressed shirt” – well, that's fandom knackered then. 15) Motel of the Mysteries by David Macaulay. Hutchinson 1979. Illustrated post-apocalyptica looking rather reminiscent of Edward Gorey (to me anyway). 16) NEW WORLDS Lot. The quintessential New Wave prozine, ed. Michael Moorcock and buddies. Lot contains #179, 189 (contains Ellison's “A Boy and his Dog”), 190, 191 (superb Mal Dean cover of Jerry Cornelius), 194, 195 (John Sladek's “Alien Territory”), 196, 197 (Graham Charnock's “The Suicide Machines”) and 200. ATTIRE: 1) Corflu Zed t-shirt. Design by Dan Steffan, as classy as you'd expect. Size L. 2) DC Comics boxer shorts! Gird up your loins in full colour reproductions of Superman, Batman, Robin etc. Size S (28-30); buy for a young relative you want to bring up the right way? For Taff. 3) DITTO 2 t-shirt. Size XL. “Born to Dupe” it proclaims. Note that 'to'. Yellow. 4) DITTO 2 t-shirt. As above but size M and green instead of yellow. 5) TAFF t-shirt. Hand-painted peacock design, rather lovely. No label; I guess size M. CONVENTIONS: 1) British Worldcon Lot. Comprises the 1979 Memory Book, set of progress reports and Programme (Seacon, Brighton); 'Frontier Crossings', the 1987 memory book (Conspiracy, Brighton); the set of four Conspiracy Prs from 1987; and BY BRITISH, a superb 1970s fanthology ed. Ian Maule and Joseph Nicholas which was released at Seacon; AND CAN'T GET OFF THE ISLAND, the 2005 Worldcon fanthology, Greg Pickersgill's collected fanwriting edited by Claire Brialey and Mark Plummer. Wow! 2) Frontier Crossings. Another copy of the 1987 memory book... but this is the limited leather bound edition (#121 of 135), signed by every guest of the con... including such names as Arthur C Clarke, Ken and Joyce Slater, Walt Willis, John Clute, Dave Langford, Doris Lessing, Ray Harryhausen, Wm. Gibson, Peter Squiggle and Unreadable Godknows. 3) Corflu 5 Lot. Seattle in 1987 saw our favourite con in the Pacific NW for the first time. Relive it with the original flyer; a set of three progress reports; the programme book (cover by Taral, appreciation of Gary Farber by Patrick Nielsen Hayden); a copy of the membership list; and “Specific Levity of Corflu Five”, a one-shot fmz which reveals that Corfluvians drank “78 bottles good local beer, 84 bottles so-so beer, 130 cups of coffee... 20 cups of tea...” Additionally, “Twiltone Zone IV”, the programme book from the very first Corflu in 1984. Wow. 4) Fantasycon XI programme book, 1986. Dennis Etchison, Ray Bradbury, Neil Gaiman, Karl Edward Wagner and other big names of the field. AND Boskone 46 programme book, 2009, with flyers and Pete Weston's name badge which you can wear and pretend you can make your own Hugo Awards to order. AND Mexicon IV Programme Book, 1991, with Paul Williams' list of the 100 greatest singles ever. 5) Days of Yore Lot, UK. East Fanglian Times: George Locke edited this quasi-Progress Report for the 1964 Eastercon, the praises of which Pete Weston will gladly sing you.

Also material for O-Con (Columbus, 1969), Baycon (Berkeley, 1967) and Heicon (Heidelberg, 1970); and PAS-Tell, Mar 66, Bjo Trimble's newsletter on con art shows, thish with John Brunner, Ethel Lindsay, and an article by Ted White on colour mimeography.

  • 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.

  • FANAC Fan History Project UPDATE 12
    FANAC Fan History Project UPDATE 12 April 17, 2020 Greetings and felicitations. I hope this update finds you all well – we are in living in surreal and frightening times. For us, wallowing in fan history is not only a passion but a good way to focus on something other than the pandemic news. Apparently, others feel the same way. We’ve had a number of scans from new contributors, as well as our stalwarts. In particular, new material has been provided by Rich Lynch, Sheryl Birkhead, Joe Patrizio, Mike Saler, Syd Weinstein and Tom Whitmore. CoNZealand Retro Hugo Awards nominations: We’ve completed our work on the Retro Hugos for 2020. Final nominees were announced recently by CoNZealand, and we’ve assembled a page of links for the fannish material nominated in the categories of Best Related Work, Best Fanzine and Best Fan Writer. Our webmaster, Edie Stern, combed through all the 1944 fan publications available on the net to make the list as complete as possible. We want to thank CoNZealand, Steve Davidson (Amazing Stories), Mike Glyer (File 770), Dave Langford (Ansible), Andrew Porter (news lists) and Locus for promoting and linking to our effort. You can access the material at http://fanac.org/fanzines/Retro_Hugos.html . FANAC by the Numbers. We have passed what feel to us like some significant milestones in our archiving - over 10,000 fanzine issues and over 150,000 pages scanned. That’s not counting pages in some of our largest runs like Opuntia, MT Void and TNFF. It does include over 3,000 newszines.

    William Rotsler, P.O.Box 3126, Los Angeles, California 90028 Hoog! NEVER PUT ANYTHING BIGGER THAN YOUR ELBOW IN YOUR EAR The last two issues of this letter-substitute went to a lot more people than normal. (And a lot weren1t normal!) I just got carried away. In addition to the Lilapa 15 ("Free the Lilapa 15'") I made up 25 copies, most of which were passed on to a second party. Do you think I'm getting "fannish"? I certain do "go on" in these pages...and this paragraph. Oh, well, fandom is just a goddamn ego-trip. Harlan Ellison Harlan Ellison Harlan Ellison Harlan Ellison Harlan I did a dummmmmb thing last issue...I left out two pages. They were lost in the great pile of sheets for those two issues (and a special edition yet to come—something really different for Kteic!), so they are included right after this. I was showing pages from FUTUREWORLD and where I had Tuckerized, etc. Then I received an autographed copy of L'AMBASSADEURS DES OMBRES, the latest French color comic (he) by J.C.Mezieres et P. Christin. Mezieres is a friend og Philippe Hupp, who was here in LA just before the MidAmeriCon. He not only sent me a copy but added a huge full-page drawing! That, too, is introduced somewhere herein. (Thank you, Philippe! And thank you, J.C.! Merci!) I love Valerian. If you others are not familiar, you should check him out. The drawing is the BEST and the stories cinematic as hell, in that I can "read" them without knowing French.

About the Moviemakers page 33 3 Synopsis Combining the visionary imaginations of two premier fantasists, director Henry Selick (The Nightmare Before Christmas) and author Neil Gaiman (Sandman), Coraline is a wondrous and thrilling, fun and suspenseful adventure that honors and redefines two moviemaking traditions. It is a stop-motion animated feature – and, as the first one to be conceived and photographed in stereoscopic 3-D, unlike anything moviegoers have ever experienced before. Coraline Jones (voiced by Dakota Fanning) is a girl of 11 who is feisty, curious, and adventurous beyond her years. She and her parents (Teri Hatcher, John Hodgman) have just relocated from Michigan to Oregon. Missing her friends and finding her parents to be distracted by their work, Coraline tries to find some excitement in her new environment. She is befriended – or, as she sees it, is annoyed – by a local boy close to her age, Wybie Lovat (Robert Bailey Jr.); and visits her older neighbors, eccentric British actresses Miss Spink and Forcible (Jennifer Saunders and Dawn French) as well as the arguably even more eccentric Russian Mr.

Works by Merril include a variety of types and modes—pieces she wrote at Morris High School in the Bronx, newsletters and fanzines she edited; sports, westerns, and detective fiction and non-fiction published in pulp magazines up to 1950; science fiction stories, novellas, and novels; book reviews; critical essays; edited anthologies; and both audio and video recordings of her fiction and non-fiction. Works about Merill cover over six decades, beginning shortly after her first science fiction story appeared (1948) and continuing after her death (1997), and in several modes— biography, news, critical commentary, tribute, visual and audio records. This new online bibliography updates and expands the primary bibliography I published in 2001 (Elizabeth Cummins, “Bibliography of Works by Judith Merril,” Extrapolation, vol. 42, 2001). It also adds a secondary bibliography. However, the reasons for producing a research- based Merril bibliography have been the same for both publications. Published bibliographies of Merril’s work have been incomplete and often inaccurate.
