NEOLIBERAL DARLINGS: THE COMMODIFICATION OF GROTESQUE CHILDREN IN CONTEMPORARY COMICS AND LITERATURE by Mark Heimermann A Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English at The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee May 2016 ABSTRACT NEOLIBERAL DARLINGS: THE COMMODIFICATION OF GROTESQUE CHILDREN IN CONTEMPORARY COMICS AND LITERATURE by Mark Heimermann The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, 2016 Under the Supervision of Professor Peter Sands This dissertation analyzes grotesque depictions of children in contemporary, speculative comics and literature: Katherine Dunn’s Geek Love, Kazuo Ishiguro’s Never Let Me Go, Jeff Lemire’s Sweet Tooth, Ben Marcus’ The Flame Alphabet, and Richard Starkings’ Elephantmen. It argues that the grotesque in these texts embodies the tension between children as economic objects and children as social beings, as the protagonists’ nonhuman elements are used to justify their commodification.

Enthüllungen Hickman • Yu
THOR • IRON MAN • CAPTAIN AMERICA ™ ENTHÜLLUNGEN HICKMAN • YU AVENGERS, SAMMELN! von Christian Endres In den Zeitströmen und Parallelwelten des Marvel-Multiverse existieren einige übermächtige Wesen und Artefakte. Etwa der Gelehrte aus dem 30. Jahrhundert, der in die Zeit der Pharaonen zurückreiste und den man in diversen Inkarnationen kennt: als ewigen Zeitreisenden Kang, den Young Avenger Iron Lad und als Immortus, den Wächter der Zeit. Oder der Handschuh der Macht mit den Infinity-Steinen, dessen Träger über grenzenlose Macht verfügt. Zuletzt befanden sich alle Steine im Besitz der Illuminati, die sich damals aus Iron Man Tony Stark, Inhumans-König Black Bolt, Sub-Mariner Namor, Mr. Fantastic Reed Richards, Wakandas Champion Black Panther, Meisterzauberer Dr. Strange, Mutan- ten-Genie Beast und Captain America Steve Rogers zusammensetzten. Gemeinsam musste sich die Illuminati mit dem kosmischen Phänomen der Inkursionen beschäftigen – ein Phänomen, bei dem zwei Parallelwelten kollidieren, was eine Welt unweigerlich mit dem Untergang bezahlt. Cap nutzte den Handschuh und wendete eine Inkursion ab, doch gingen die Steine dabei verloren. Deshalb besprachen die Illuminati, dass sie künftig womöglich andere Welten vernichten müssten, um die ihre zu retten. Steve sagte, dass er niemals so weit gehen würde – also warfen die Illuminati ihn raus, und Dr. Strange löschte Caps Erinnerungen an die ganze Episode. In ORIGINAL SIN, das ebenfalls als Sammelband vor- liegt, wurde nun jedoch der kosmische Beobachter Uatu getötet, und der schurkische Orb ließ einen der riesigen Augäpfel des Beobachters wie eine Bombe explodieren, woraufhin eine Welle aus enthüllten Sünden und Geheimnissen über die Welt hereinbricht… AVENGERS: ENTHÜLLUNGEN erscheint bei PANINI COMICS, Rotebühlstr. 87, D-70178 Stuttgart.

Crisis of Infinite Intertexts! Continuity As Adaptation in the Superman Multimedia Franchise
Crisis of Infinite Intertexts! Continuity as Adaptation in the Superman Multimedia Franchise Jack Peterson Teiwes ORCID identifier 0000-0001-8956-1602 Doctor of Philosophy November 2015 School of Culture and Communication The University of Melbourne Submitted in total fulfillment of the requirements of the PhD degree Produced on archival quality paper Abstract Since first appearing as a comic book character over three quarters of a century ago, Superman was not only the first superhero, spawning an entire genre of imitators, but also quickly became one of the most widely disseminated multi-media entertainment franchises. This achieved a degree of intergenerational cultural dissemination that far surpasses his comic book fandom. Yet despite an unprecedented degree of adaptation into other media from radio, newspaper strips, film serials, animation, feature films, video games and television, Superman’s ongoing comic books have remained in unbroken publication, developing a long and complex history of narrative renewal and reinvention. This thesis investigates the multifaceted intertextuality between the comic book portrayals of Superman and its many adaptations over the years, including how such retellings in other media have a generally stronger cultural impact, which exerts in turn an adaptive influence upon these continuing comics’ internalised narrative continuity. I shall argue that Superman comics, as a case study for the wider phenomenon in the superhero genre, demonstrate via their frequent revisions and relaunches of continuity, a process of deeply palimpsestuous self-adaptation. The Introduction positions my research methodology in relation to intertextual theory, with an emphasis on providing terminological clarity, while Chapter 1 expands into a literature review on pertinent key scholarship on adaptation studies and the comics studies field specifically.
