  • Grant Morrison” and Grantmorrison™
    K Scott 1 No Guru, No Method, No Teacher: “Grant Morrison” and GrantMorrison™ 1. Introduction My title comes from Van, not Grant, Morrison; not just because of a fondness for the music of my compatriot, but because it sums up both the worldview of my main subject and my own complex and contradictory responses to his work. As a writer, Morrison attracts admiration and odium in roughly equal measure, a sign generally of his attempts to innovate within the medium of comics, and more specifically of the key element of his work I wish to examine here, the extent to which he foregrounds his own presence within his texts. His work displays a continual questioning of established value systems – religious, political and artistic – and a simultaneous elevation of personae who are clearly meant to be read as avatars of Morrison himself, placed in and acting through his comics. As Jacques Bens wrote in his analysis of Boris Vian’s L’Ecume des jours: Tout écrivain refait le monde, soit parce qu’il est impuissant à restituer parfaitement une réalité don’t la structure complexe échappe à la parole, soit parce qu’il a envie de libérer ses demons familers [my italics] (177). [All authors remake the world, either because it is impossible to perfectly reconstruct a reality of which the structure is too complex to capture in language, or because they wish to loose their personal demons] The “personal demons” (and the occult reference is entirely fitting for a writer who makes much play of the idea of magic as a belief system) Morrison liberates are overwhelmingly linked to the relationship between himself and his writing.

    when one door closes another opens a year of transitions, tragedy and triumph annual report 2014 Our mission Victory Programs opens doors to recovery, hope and community to individuals and families facing homelessness, addiction or other chronic illnesses. Our dedication Victory Programs proudly dedicates our 2014 annual report to: Gary Sandison, the winner of our 2014 Peter Medoff Award for his leadership in the field of HIV/AIDS. Gary’s long compassionate history of advocacy to those living with HIV/AIDS goes back to his role as a founding board member of AIDS Action Committee. In 1993 acting Mayor Thomas Menino appointed Gary to serve as his AIDS Policy Advisor. Gary worked with the Boston Public Health Commission to implement important policies and services including the first Pilot Needle Exchange Program, condom access in the Boston Public Schools and serving as the Mayor’s representative for 20 years on the essential Ryan White Planning Council. Gary is a true hero for his 30 years devoted to the care and core services of everyone living with HIV/AIDS; we are proud to always call him a friend. And… Eastern Bank for its continued commitment to Victory Programs as a year-long corporate sponsor and its generous emergency support to assist in the resiting of our Joelyn’s Family Home. Less than a month after Boston’s Long Island was evacuated, the Eastern Bank Charitable Foundation was one of the first to respond to the tragedy by making a $10,000 donation to Victory Programs to assist with unanticipated financial expenses. Eastern Bank is truly there for our community.

  • Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} the Ultimate Book of British Comics by Jon Howells British Comics: a Cultural History
    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} The Ultimate Book of British Comics by Jon Howells British Comics: A Cultural History. The specifically British contribution to the history of comics and cartoons remains under-researched and underappreciated. While there is a growing critical literature on such high-profile figures as Alan Moore, Neil Gaiman, and Grant Morrison, huge swathes of British cartooning history have been neglected by critics, historians, and fans. As James Chapman points out in his informative new study, the “work of Martin Barker and Roger Sabin represents the only sustained academic engagement with comics in Britain… the British comic has never achieved the cultural cachet of the bande dessinee , but nor has it found a popular mythology equivalent to the American superhero tradition.” While Chapman might also have pointed to Paul Gravett and Peter Stanbury’s 2006 book on Great British Comics: Ripping Yarns and Wizard Wheezes , his larger point is a valid one. Not only has “scholarly attention” been “thin on the ground,” fan culture in Britain often evinces a greater interest in second-tier Marvel characters than indigenous creators and titles. The so-called “British invasion” of the 1980s and 1990s is the conspicuous exception precisely because it left its mark on the American mainstream. Both the scope and the scale of British cartooning are worth emphasizing. The medium’s early development was profoundly influenced by the work of satirical print artists such as William Hogarth (1697-1764), James Gillray (1757-1815), and George Cruikshank (1792-1878), as well as by various London-based illustrated magazines of the nineteenth century, such as Punch , the Illustrated London News , and Pictorial Times .
