While autobiographical comics may seem like an odd crib sheet to use to learn about the human condition, their confessional style provides readers like me with the answers to the questions we dare not ask. I equate reading an autobiographical comic with the occurrence of a stranger handing you his diary, staring meaningfully into your eyes and saying, “I want you to read this… all of it. Oh, and just so you know, I drew pictures of everything that happened, too.” I first became interested in autobiographical comics and graphic novels after reading some of Jeffrey Brown’s comics in 2005. There was something about his loose, sketchbook-style illustrations that made his work accessible to a newly minted comics fan such as myself. There were no superpowers, no buxom women and no maniacal villains in his comics… just real stories. Right when I was on the brink of exhausting Brown’s catalogue, Peter Birkemoe, the co-owner of The Beguiling1, suggested that I expand my interests. When he rang up my latest purchase, he said, “If you like this stuff, you should try reading some John Porcellino.” I promptly swept up Porcellino’s King-Cat Classix: The Best of King-Cat Comics and Stories and I soon discovered other autobiographical cartoonists including Chester Brown, Joe Matt, Lucy Knisley and Harvey Pekar.

  • The Alcoholic Q&A with Author Jonathan Ames and Artist Dean Haspiel
    The Alcoholic Q&A with author Jonathan Ames and artist Dean Haspiel Q. Jonathan, you’ve written for TV, including an HBO pilot you’re filming this fall called Bored To Death; newspapers, including a column for the NY Press; and are the author of numerous books of essays and fiction including, What’s Not To Love? and Wake Up Sir! Now, a graphic novel? How did this happen? Ames: It happened because my good friend Dean Haspiel kept suggesting that we collaborate. I've always been a fan of Charles Bukowski and had seen some stories of his which were accompanied by illustrations from R. Crumb, so the idea of doing something similar with Dean appealed to me. Then Dean illustrated Harvey Pekar's The Quitter for Vertigo/DC and one day he brought me in to meet his editor for lunch and I don't know what we ate, but over the course of the meal, I suddenly had this idea for a comic about an alcoholic, called The Alcoholic; in my mind, it would be a perils-of-Pauline sort of tale—the alcoholic always in danger and getting into trouble, and this idea further blossomed and became the book . Q. Jonathan, the protagonist, Jonathan A. looks a lot like you, but the work is fictional. How much of the character really is you? Ames: Well, we share a lot of the same emotional DNA and we've had some similar experiences, but we are quite different in many ways and so he's his own strange person.

  • JM. Dematteis
    BIBLIOGRAFIA DI J. M. DeMATTEIS A cura di: Gabriele ʿTermidoroʾ Perlini - mail: [email protected] Prima stesura: ottobre 2009 - Secondo aggiornamento: gennaio 2021 Ritenuto uno dei più grandi scrittori di Spider-Man, secondo solo a Stan Lee, il nome di J. M. DeMATTEIS è legato indissolubilmente alle gestioni ragnesche degli anni ʿ90 grazie ai cicli di storie in coppia con Sal Buscema e Mark Bagley, cui si annoverano i capolavori "The Child Within ", "Best Of Enemies " e "The Gift ". Scrivendo di un Peter Parker più adulto e massiccio come mai sino ad allora, l'autore si era aggiudicato qualche anno prima il successo grazie alla tragica saga "Kraven's Last Hunt " mentre, poco dopo, sarà la volta della miniserie "The Lost Years ". Sul fronte editoriale opposto si trovano lavori più divertenti ed ironici quali la Justice League International, scritta nella seconda metà degli anni ʿ80 insieme al fidato Keith Giffen, che ha valso alla coppia la nomination per l'Eisner Award come miglior albo singolo grazie al primo numero della loro gestione. Sempre per le più note case editrici americane di fumetti si ricordano gli indelebili cicli di Captain America e The Defenders per la Marvel ed i personaggi mistici della DC quali The Spectre, Dr. Fate, The Phantom Stranger e la Justice League Dark. Brevi incursioni si sono comunque avute anche in personaggi più classici come Batman e Superman. Per le case editrici minori citiamo la sfortunata Abadazad, The Stardust Kid, Hero Squared e The Life And Times Of Savior 28. Difficile poi dimenticare i progetti più personali dell'autore come l'evocativo Moonshadow, Blood: A Tale, Mercy, Seekers Into The Mystery e l'autobiografico Brooklyn Dreams.

    Superheroes in Gotham Selected PR Images from the New‐York Historical Society Exhibition (October 9, 2015 – February 21, 2016) Jerry Siegel (writer) and Joe Shuster (artist), Action Bob Kane and Bill Finger Batman (No. 1, Spring Comics (No. 1, June 1938). Published by Detective 1940). Published by Detective Comics, Inc., New Comics, Inc., New York. Courtesy of York. Serial and Government Publications Division, Metropoliscomics.com. Library of Congress, Washington D.C. Superman first appeared in the wake of the Great Depression in Action Comics (No. 1). Instantaneously popular, Superman and his crime‐fighting adventures became prototypes for the superheroes that followed. In 1939, Batman was introduced in Detective Comics (No. 27) and soon after Batman (No. 1) was published. A brooding, urban vigilante, who was also adept at using state‐of‐the‐art technology, Batman’s story spoke to many of the challenges of modern city life. Within a year of his debut, Batman earned his own comic book series. Jerry Siegel with his typewriter, ca. 1943. Collection of Steve Soboroff. H. G. Peter, Drawing of Wonder Woman in Costume, ca. 1941. Courtesy of Metropoliscomics.com. Wonder Woman was introduced to the American public in 1941 in All Star Comics (No. 8). This drawing depicts an early iteration of her patriotic costume. Wonder Woman debut coincided with the United States’ entry into World War II. Many early superhero artists served in the military during the war and adapted their superhero characters for army training manuals and military newspapers. Superman creator Jerry Siegel enlisted in the United States Army in 1943 and wrote regular columns for several military newspapers, including Stars & Stripes and Yank.
