He is also the co-creator of the Xeric Award-winning, Ignatz- nominated, kid-tested, mother-approved Action Philosophers (Evil Twin) and a writer for the Marvel Adventures line. Learn more about him than you can possibly stand at his official web site, www.fredvanlente.com. BRIAN CHURILLA is a cartoonist living in Portland, Oregon with his wife, cat and dog. Current projects include the zany pan-dimensional romp of a comic book, The Engineer, as well as the dark, brooding Spaghetti Western from Hell, Lonesome Gringo. Aside from comic book work, he is also currently working on a children’s book on inspired by Homer’s Iliad. You can check out more of his work at www. brianchurilla.com. 64 WATCHDOGS_interior_CS3_zP.indd 64 9/12/07 3:59:51 PM SCoTT MITCHELL RoSENBERg’s passion for reading comic books started when he was as a child. Both his creative and business sense, combined to turn this passion into a career in the comic industry. Scott started his life in the comics business at the age of 13 with a comic book mail order service. Years later after successfully running Malibu Comics (the largest independent comic book publisher) and selling it to Marvel in 1994, Scott used his hiatus from the business world to create the Macroverse; which details the storylines, characters and concepts of the universe of what he dreamed Platinum Studios would one day bring to life. Some of the stories from the Macroverse include: Cowboys & Aliens, The Weapon, Consumed, Ghosting, Atlantis Rising, and Unique. Although Scott is back to being a businessman by day, one of his true passions is the creative process that goes into making a compelling story. Scott also executive produced Jeremiah, Night Man, and Ultraforce. With his previous company, Malibu Comics, he published The Men in Black comic books, and sensing a movie, brought the comic to Sony where it became a billion- dollar movie franchise. Scott is currently working on producing more than ten comic to film movies. Scott has a great super hero team that keeps him grounded, his wife of 15 years, Pam and daughters Kendall and Karlee. 65 WATCHDOGS_interior_CS3_zP.indd 65 9/12/07 3:59:55 PM WATCHDOGS_interior_CS3_zP.indd 70 9/12/07 4:00:18 PM.

  • Comics and Videogames
    14 Creating Lara Croft The meaning of the comic books for the Tomb Raider franchise Josefa Much Since the creation of Lara Croft in 1996, it seems impossible to imagine the game industry without her. Her pop-cultural impact certainly affected the gaming industry, but the expansion of her character into a whole franchise has also immortalized her through action figures, cosplay, music videos, and appearances in many other media. If you take a closer look at the franchise, you will find a number of different videogames for different gaming platforms as well as three action films, six novels, and many comic books. Shortly after the release of the very firstTomb Raider game in 1996, the comic book pub- lisher Top Cow released a crossover with their own heroine Sara Pezzini aka Witchblade and Lara Croft: Tomb Raider/ Witchblade (Turner 1997, 1998). The Witchblade comic books were one of Top Cow’s most prominent series. As a result, something very interesting happened: Lara Croft was introduced into a new universe beyond her own games, and thus into a new storyworld. She became part of the Top Cow universe as both franchises collided. Two years later, the Tomb Raider received her own stand- alone comic book series. It not only focused on her adventures, but also on her personal thoughts and approach, introducing different characters and friends of hers. Later on, this would be used to create new crossovers with different Top Cow characters (e.g., Dark Crossing [Holland and Turner 2000a, 2000b]; Endgame [Rieber and Green 2003a, 2003b, 2003c; Silvestri and Tan 2003; Turner 2002c]; the Magdalena crossover [Bonny and Basaldua 2004a, 2004b, 2004c]; the Fathom/ Witchblade/ Tomb Raider crossover [Turner 2000, 2002a, 2002b]).

    Two Lives: Animation and Development. Una Gallagher B00475908 MDes Design Communication, DES811, Paul McKevitt, School of creative Arts, University of Ulster. 1 Abstract “Two Lives” is a story split into two versions, a comic and an animation adaptation. Digital art, hand drawing, traditional animation and rotoscope animation are all combined to make these pieces a reality. “Two Lives” was produced by Pearlmoon Productions which was also founded during its production. The Author of this piece is co-founder of Pearlmoon Productions and oversees all creative direction, animation production, comic production, art, idea development, editing, visual presence, branding and many other roles within the group. The goal of “Two Lives” is to create a standalone story for the purpose of providing entertainment that can be enjoyed across many platforms. It was created using traditional and digital mediums and it is influenced heavily on eastern styled animation and comics. As part of that aim, Pearlmoon Productions serves a similar purpose, aiming to give multi-platform life to continuations, new project, and other forms of entertainment. “Two Lives” was reviewed well by peers and the production went smoothly. Future work derived from “Two Lives” will be a sequel comic book chronicling the continued stories of the main characters as they continue their lives. 1. Introduction “Two Lives” is both a comic book and animation that aims to bring a story into several mediums to create a new perspective on the story itself. Pearlmoon Productions was the name given to the people who created both the design, animation and the visual elements and the music and sound creators.

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.

ABSTRACT Comics are an integral aspect of America's development and culture. The comics have chronicled historical milestones, determined fashion and shaped the way society viewed events and issues. They also offered entertainment and escape. The comics were particularly effective in providing heroes for Americans of all ages. One of those heroes -- or more accurately, superheroes -- is the Batman. A crime-fighting, masked avenger, the Batman was one of few comic characters that survived more than a half-century of changes in the country. Unlike his counterpart and rival -- Superman -- the Batman's popularity has been attributed to his embodiment of human qualities. Thus, as a hero, the Batman says something about the culture for which he is an ideal. The character's longevity and the alterations he endured offer a glimpse into the society that invoked the transformations.
