Jack Staff: Everything Used to Be Black and White Volume 1 Free FREE JACK STAFF: EVERYTHING USED TO BE BLACK AND WHITE VOLUME 1 PDF Paul Grist | 352 pages | 05 Apr 2011 | Image Comics | 9781607063803 | English | Fullerton, United States Slings & Arrows Written and drawn by Paul Grist. Published by Image Comics. Turns out he is working as a builder called John Smith in Castletown. Staff is a hero in the Captain America mode, very athletic and acrobatic but his only superpower seems to be moving energy around, often through his staff. Grist is a fantastic and innovative comic artist. The line of his art is thick and solid with little cross hatching or embellishment and he makes great use of negative space on the page to create depth and tone. He draws solid, strong characters and the directness of his art is very appealing. The seeming simplicity of his line work belies the many interesting aspects to this comic. The lettering is an integral part of the story. Each scene is introduced and titled in its own way and new characters will get their names titled in their own unique style. The sound effects and captions add up to a very dense comic as every page delivers a ton of story through both art and words. Structurally Grist uses flashbacks to fill the reader in on Jacks past and the enemies he once faced. It works well to provide depth and wonder to the world, and his habit of titling every scene helps the reader to know where he is in the narrative. He also uses snippets from the local newspaper and radio to frame the action and ground the story. The use of panels catches my eye, always reaching for a different way to tell a story rather than just left-to-right and then repeat downward. Early on John Smith vaults off a collapsing scaffold and tumbles downward through the page while around him the lyrics of a song on the radio keep playing. Grist is also very aware of comics history and draws homages to great creators, like the Will Eisner -esque title below. Many of the characters Jack comes across are based on classic comic characters from Britain. The most well-known being the Spideran elderly master thief with a harness full of gadgets. States and Jack Staff: Everything Used to be Black and White Volume 1 Druid. Grist used these characters well and I would like to learn more about them. I hope this book has helped stir some interest in these old gems. With such a large cast it often feels like an ensemble rather than solo book. Sure Jack is the star but there are long sections where the focus shifts to other characters. Should I buy it? I Jack Staff: Everything Used to be Black and White Volume 1 the art fascinating as it constantly strove to tell the story in new ways. Very cool stuff and I promptly went out and bought the other volumes. Those preview panels you pasted into the review remind me an inordinate amount of the art of Casanova; which is almost enough to sell me on its own. I wonder though, what is the tone and style of the story that it is telling? Is it stand-alone Jack Staff: Everything Used to be Black and White Volume 1 serialized, is it ever serious or purely satirical? As someone primarily concerned with plot this is pretty important to me. It feels more like an ongoing series than Casanova. Characters are introduced and then get to be the focus of later issues. I recommend it more for the art than story, which is not to say the writing is bad at all. It looks gorgeous. I really like the style of your reviews, by the way. I love reading about comic art and technique, I always learn something new. Glad you liked it Jennifer. I am trying to focus on the art side of each review both because I think the art needs more focus but also because I find it much harder to write about pictures than about plot, character etc. Thanks for reading. Thanks Rui. Reading this made me realise I like British comics too. I read a ton of them growing up in New Zealand, mainly war and football comics. You are commenting using your WordPress.

  • Programme on Comics, and Reviews Films for Electric Sheep Magazine
    1 Comica Symposium 2010 Transitions: New Directions in Comics Studies Friday November 5th 2010 9:30 am to 5 pm, room B01, Clore Management Centre, School of Arts, Birkbeck, University of London, London WC1E 7HX A one-day event promoting the multi-disciplinary academic study of comics/comix/manga/bande dessinée and other forms of sequential art Comics studies is a growing field in the academy, as testified by the emergence of multiple conferences and journals dedicated to comics in all their forms both nationally and internationally. It is an area that occupies, in the UK at least, a necessarily interdisciplinary space. Such a position is potentially one of strength, allowing for the convergence of diverse disciplinary knowledges, including; English, Cultural and Media Studies, Cultural History, Fine Art, Modern Languages, and History of Visual Media. Transitions is a one-day symposium devoted exclusively to promoting multi-disciplinary research of comics and graphic novels, manga, bande dessinée, webcomics and other forms of sequential art. Rather than be restricted by a specific theme, the aim of the symposium is to highlight research from postgraduate research students and early career lecturers bringing together different perspectives and methodologies, whether cultural, historical, or formal, thereby mapping new trends and providing a space for dialogue and further collaboration to emerge. Dr. Roger Sabin, Reader in Popular Culture at the University of the Arts and author of Adult Comics and Comics, Comix and Graphic Novels, will introduce the event and respond to the panel papers. By thinking about comics across different disciplines, the intention is to spark debate and address a wide spectrum of questions.

  • Comics and Graphic Novels Cambridge History of The
    Comics and Graphic Novels Cambridge History of the Book in Britain, Volume 7: the Twentieth Century and Beyond Mark Nixon Comics – the telling of stories by means of a sequence of pictures and, usually, words – were born in Britain in the late nineteenth century, with Ally Sloper’s Half-Holiday (Gilbert Dalziel, 1884) and subsequent imitators. These publications were a few pages long, unbound, and cheap – and intended for working-class adult readers. During the twentieth century, bound books of picture stories developed in Europe and North America, and by the end of the century had become a significant factor in British publishing and popular culture. However, British comics scholarship has been slow to develop, at least relative to continental European and North American comics scholarship, although specialist magazines such as The Comics Journal, Comics International and Book & Magazine Collector have featured articles on British comics, their publishers and creators. Towards the end of the twentieth century, the work of Martin Barker and Roger Sabin began to shed new light on certain aspects of the history of British comics, a baton now being taken up by a few scholars of British popular culture1, alongside a growing popular literature on British comics2. 1 For a recent overview, see Chapman, James British comics: a cultural history (London, 2011). 2 Perhaps the best example of this is Gravett, Paul and Stanbury, Peter Great British comics (London, 2006). By the beginning of the twentieth century, Harmsworth dominated the comics market they had entered in 1890 with Comic Cuts and Illustrated Chips. Their comics provided the template for the industry, of eight-page, tabloid-sized publications with a mixture of one-panel cartoons, picture strips and text stories, selling at 1/2d.
