MILLAR-ZEIT von Christian Endres Der schottische Superstar Mark Millar hat es weit gebracht. Seit Jahren haben seine eigenständi- gen Comic-Werke unter dem Millarworld-Label ein so unglaubliches Standing, dass Millar es sich praktisch aussuchen kann, mit welchem Zeichner er als nächstes zusammenarbeiten möchte – mit welchem Top-Talent er über Ideen, Plots und Figuren sprechen und gemeinsam eine coole Comic- Miniserie erschaffen will.Frank Quitely, Duncan Fegredo, Leinil Francis Yu, Steve McNiven, Goran Parlov – die Liste von Millars kreativen Partnern der letzten Jahre liest sich wie ein internationales Who-is-Who der Szene. Dass Hollywood praktisch ein Abo auf Millars im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes filmreife Geschichten hat und diese eher früher denn später von den großen Studios als potenzielle Verfilmungs-Kandidaten ausgemacht werden, ist ebenfalls nicht das Schlechteste und macht eine Arbeitsgemeinschaft mit Millar für die Zeichner noch lukrativer. Für seinen neuen Science-Fiction- Comic CHRONONAUTS – DIE ZEITREISENDEN hat sich Millar nun mit dem amerikanischen Künstler Sean Murphy zusammengetan, der von Kollegen, Lesern und Kritikern seit Jahren für seinen unver- kennbar dynamischen Strich gefeiert wird. Keine Frage, die Zeit von Mark Millar und Sean Murphy ist auch ohne Chrono-Anzüge längst gekommen. Bei der Lektüre dieses Einzelbands wird entsprechend schnell klar, wie viel Spaß zwei der derzeit angesagtesten Comic-Macher dabei hatten, eine actionge- ladene, temporeiche Zeitreise-Story über zwei Freunde zu inszenieren, die mit ihrem Wissen die Epochen und die Geschichte auf den Kopf stellen… C HAP TER ONE Chrononauts_Interior_Corr4.indd 3 11.08.2015. 21:32 Chrononauts_Interior_Corr4.indd 76 11.08.2015. 21:33 KAPITEL 1C HAP TER ONE Chrononauts_Interior_Corr4.indd 3 11.08.2015. 21:32 Südost–Türkei: WIE ALT SOLL DAS SEIN?

Salisbury to The Faculty of the Graduate College of The University of Vermont In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of Master of Arts Specializing in History May, 2013 Accepted by the Faculty of the Graduate College, The University of Vermont, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts, specializing in History. Thesis Examination Committee: ______________________________________ Advisor Abigail McGowan, Ph.D ______________________________________ Melanie Gustafson, Ph.D ______________________________________ Chairperson Elizabeth Fenton, Ph.D ______________________________________ Dean, Graduate College Domenico Grasso, Ph.D March 22, 2013 Abstract At just under thirty years the serious academic study of American comic books is relatively young. Over the course of three decades most historians familiar with the medium have recognized that American comics, since becoming a mass-cultural product in 1939, have matured beyond their humble beginnings as a monthly publication for children. However, historians are not yet in agreement as to when the medium became mature. This thesis proposes that the medium’s maturity was cemented between 1985 and 2000, a much later point in time than existing texts postulate. The project involves the analysis of how an American mass medium, in this case the comic book, matured in the last two decades of the twentieth century. The goal is to show the interconnected relationships and factors that facilitated the maturation of the American sequential art, specifically a focus on a group of British writers working at DC Comics and Vertigo, an alternative imprint under the financial control of DC.

What is the connection between text and art? How are internal psychology, time, and action conveyed in a static series of words and pictures? What can the graphic novel convey that other media cannot? NYU Classes and the Internet.

The purpose of this research is to adapt the approaches used by prominent and influential writers and artists in the American superhero/action comic-book field to create an engaging Australian hero comic book. Further, the aim of this thesis is to bridge the gap between the lack of academic writing on the professional practice of the Australian comic industry. In order to achieve this, I explored and learned the methods these prominent and professional US writers and artists use. Compared to the American industry, the creating of comic books in Australia has rarely been documented, particularly in a formal capacity or from a contemporary perspective. The process I used was to navigate through the research and studio practice from the perspective of a solo artist with an interest to learn, and to develop into an artist with a firmer understanding of not only the medium being engaged, but the context in which the medium is being created.

    Lucifer (DC Comics) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Lucifer Morningstar is a DC Comics character appearing Lucifer primarily as a supporting character in the comic book series The Sandman and as the title character of a spin-off, both published under the Vertigo imprint. Though various depictions of Lucifer – the Biblical fallen angel and Devil of the Abrahamic religions – have been presented by DC Comics in their run, this interpretation by Neil Gaiman debuted in The Sandman in 1989. Like many modern interpretations of Satan, DC's Lucifer owes much to the character's portrayal in John Milton's epic poem Paradise Lost, though Gaiman adapts the character to fit the fictional DC The title character from the cover of Lucifer Universe where their comics are #16, artist Christopher Moeller. set, where the character exists Publication information alongside superheroes and deities from multiple religions.

  • Comics – Expanding Narrative Possibilities, Integrating Into The
    Comics – Expanding Narrative Possibilities, integrating into the classroom Nick Sousanis (Original version presented as a slide lecture at Teachers College July 13, 2011) More resources at www.comicsclassroom.wikispaces.com, contact [email protected] For me, comics, in their capacity to incorporate and integrate the visual equally alongside the verbal, facilitate and offer the capacity for more whole ways of expression and representation. They are a great gateway to literacy – though they offer much more than that. This was my personal experience as a child with a much older brother who got me reading his comics, and that simultaneously hastened my reading of more straight up texts: From “Bi(bli)ography” by Sousanis, all author comics at www.spinweaveandcut.com The Italian writer Italo Calvino credits looking at translated American comic strips before he learned to read as being instrumental in opening his mind to imagination, this “thinking in terms of images. … I could easily dispense with the words – the pictures were enough. … in my mind I told myself the stories, interpreting the scenes in different ways” (p. 93). Even after he was reading, he recounts, “I preferred to ignore the written lines and to continue with my favorite occupation of daydreaming within the pictures and their sequence” (p. 94). Calvino’s comments not only point to the literacy aspects of reading comics, but to the participatory nature of the medium, as we’ll see in a bit. I see comics as an accessible vehicle for deep explanation, but more, integrated visual-verbal in an equal and whole way, that offer a wholeness about them.
