Friend of Dorothy stars Scott-John, a young teenage boy struggling with his sexuality who, after attempting to end his life, finds himself brought back from the brink to be given the mantel of Oz's first Official Campion on Earth —the one being in all the universe imbued with the strength, stamina, and righteous weapons of Oz itself!

This sparkling romp of a comic, written by the seriously nice Brian Anderson (So Super Duper) and illustrated by Celina Hernandez, is as fun as it is unambiguous.

  • SILVER AGE SENTINELS (D20)
    Talking Up Our Products With the weekly influx of new roleplaying titles, it’s almost impossible to keep track of every product in every RPG line in the adventure games industry. To help you organize our titles and to aid customers in finding information about their favorite products, we’ve designed a set of point-of-purchase dividers. These hard-plastic cards are much like the category dividers often used in music stores, but they’re specially designed as a marketing tool for hobby stores. Each card features the name of one of our RPG lines printed prominently at the top, and goes on to give basic information on the mechanics and setting of the game, special features that distinguish it from other RPGs, and the most popular and useful supplements available. The dividers promote the sale of backlist items as well as new products, since they help customers identify the titles they need most and remind buyers to keep them in stock. Our dividers can be placed in many ways. These are just a few of the ideas we’ve come up with: •A divider can be placed inside the front cover or behind the newest release in a line if the book is displayed full-face on a tilted backboard or book prop. Since the cards 1 are 11 /2 inches tall, the line’s title will be visible within or in back of the book. When a customer picks the RPG up to page through it, the informational text is uncovered. The card also works as a restocking reminder when the book sells.

  • Media Industry Approaches to Comic-To-Live-Action Adaptations and Race
    From Serials to Blockbusters: Media Industry Approaches to Comic-to-Live-Action Adaptations and Race by Kathryn M. Frank A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Communication) in the University of Michigan 2015 Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Amanda D. Lotz, Chair Professor Susan J. Douglas Professor Lisa A. Nakamura Associate Professor Aswin Punathambekar © Kathryn M. Frank 2015 “I don't remember when exactly I read my first comic book, but I do remember exactly how liberated and subversive I felt as a result.” ― Edward W. Said, Palestine For Mom and Dad, who taught me to be my own hero ii Acknowledgements There are so many people without whom this project would never have been possible. First and foremost, my parents, Paul and MaryAnn Frank, who never blinked when I told them I wanted to move half way across the country to read comic books for a living. Their unending support has taken many forms, from late-night pep talks and airport pick-ups to rides to Comic-Con at 3 am and listening to a comics nerd blather on for hours about why Man of Steel was so terrible. I could never hope to repay the patience, love, and trust they have given me throughout the years, but hopefully fewer midnight conversations about my dissertation will be a good start. Amanda Lotz has shown unwavering interest and support for me and for my work since before we were formally advisor and advisee, and her insight, feedback, and attention to detail kept me invested in my own work, even in times when my resolve to continue writing was flagging.

  • TEEN AGE -A Construção Da Narrativa Gráfica a Partir Da Autobiografia
    TEEN AGE A Construção da Narrativa Gráfica a Partir da Autobiografia Ana Raquel Cunha Diogo Relatório de Projeto para Obtenção de grau de Mestre em Artes Plásticas, Especialização em Desenho Orientador Professor Doutor Mário Moura Porto, 2019 Agradecimentos | i Quero agradecer ao meu orientador, Professor Mário Moura, pela sua disponibilidade em orientar-me, e acompanhar-me ao longo deste processo de trabalho. Agradeço principalmente aos meus pais pelo apoio e esforço que sempre fizeram ao longo destes anos de estudo. A Bárbara e Maria, que sempre me acompanharam durante este caminho e sempre me incentivaram para continuar, às suas recomendações e conhecimentos partilhados. Ao Pedro, pela paciência e motivação, e por me ajudar a nunca desistir. Aos meus colegas e amigos de mestrado, pelos bons e maus momentos, entreajuda, partilha de ideias e opiniões. Resumo | ii O presente relatório de projeto tem como principal objetivo abordar a banda desenhada autobiográfica como um modo expressivo de contar histórias aos quadradinhos em que os autores se assumem nas suas histórias como personagens, da mesma forma que se expressam perante a sociedade. O nosso caso de estudo é a banda desenhada do movimento artístico norte-americano criado na década de 60 e chamado Comix-Underground. A autobiografia é uma forma inevitável de exprimir o pessoal de cada um, visível ao leitor. Falamos assim de um projeto autorrepresentativo e do papel da mulher na sociedade nomeadamente na prática de skate na qual é assumida com a dominação masculina e se torna visível a desigualdade entre estes experienciando assim pequenos episódios de discriminação, preconceitos e estereótipos presentes na modalidade.
