While it is obvious. that these comic books can be used in the classroom as a source of reading material, it is tot so obvious that these comic books, with great economy, simplicity, and narrative density, can be used to further introduce novice readers to the techniques found in narrative and to the terms employed in the study and discussion of a narrative. The output of the Marvel Conics Group in particular is literate, is both narratively and pbSlosophically sophisticated, and is ethically and morally responsible. Some of the narrative tecbntques found in the stories, such as the Spider-Man episodes, include foreshadowing, a dramatic fiction narrator, flashback, irony, symbolism, metaphor, Biblical and historical allusions, and mythological allusions.4MKM1 4 4 *********************************************************************** * Reproductions supplied by EDRS are the best that can be made * * from the original document. * *********************************************************************** ) U SOEPANTMENTO, HEALD..

  • American Comic Books & the Aids Crisis
    FATAL ATTRACTIONS: AMERICAN COMIC BOOKS & THE AIDS CRISIS A MASTER’S FINAL PROJECT FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF AMERICAN STUDIES Sean A. Guynes FATAL ATTRACTIONS: AMERICAN COMIC BOOKS AND THE AIDS CRISIS A Master’s Final Project Presented by SEAN A. GUYNES Submitted to the Department of American Studies, University of Massachusetts Boston, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS June 2015 American Studies Program © 2015 by Sean A. Guynes All rights reserved Cover design after Alaniz (2014). Cover art by Richard Bennett, Uncanny X-Men #303 (August 1993), © Marvel Worldwide, Inc. Art below from 7 Miles A Second, story by David Wojnarowicz, art by James Romberger and Marguerite Van Cook (1996). ABSTRACT FATAL ATTRACTIONS: AMERICAN COMIC BOOKS AND THE AIDS CRISIS June 2015 Sean A. Guynes, B.A., Western Washington University M.A., University of Massachusetts Boston Advisor: Aaron Lecklider, Ph.D. Second Reader: Rachel Rubin, Ph.D. Between 1988 and 1994 American comic books engaged the politics, problematics, and crises of the AIDS epidemic by inserting the virus and its social, cultural, and epidemiological effects on gay men into the four-color fantasies of the superhero genre. As the comic-book industry was undergoing major internal changes that allowed for more mature, adult storylines, creators challenged the Comics Code Authority’s 1954 sanction against the representation of homosexuality to create, for the first time, openly gay characters. Creators’ efforts were driven by a desire to recognize the reality of gay men’s lived experiences, especially crucial in the epidemic time of the AIDS crisis.

  • Representations of Hiv/Aids in Popular American Comic Books, 1981- 1996
    REPRESENTATIONS OF HIV/AIDS IN POPULAR AMERICAN COMIC BOOKS, 1981- 1996 William Richard Avila A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY May 2021 Committee: Jeffrey Brown, Advisor Michael Decker Graduate Faculty Representative William Albertini Timothy Messer-Kruse © 2021 William Richard Avila All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Jeffery Brown, Advisor From 1981-1996, the United States experienced an epidemic of human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS) that held profound implications for issues ranging from civil rights, public education, and sexual mores, to government accountability, public health, and expressions of heterosexism. Popular comic books that broached the subject of HIV/AIDS during the U.S. epidemic elucidate how America’s discourse on the disease evolved in an era when elected officials, religious leaders, legal professionals, medical specialists, and average citizens all struggled to negotiate their way through a period of national crisis. The manner whereby comic book authors, illustrators, and publishers engaged the topic of HIV/AIDS changed over time but, because comic books are an item of popular culture primarily produced for a heterosexual male audience, such changes habitually mirrored the evolution of the nation’s mainstream, heteronormative debates regarding the epidemic and its sociocultural and political implications. Through studying depictions of the HIV/AIDS epidemic in popular comic books, alterations in the heterocentric, national discourse emerge revealing how homophobic dismissals of the “gay plague” in the early 1980s gave way to heterosexual panic in the mid-1980s, followed by the epidemic’s reinterpretation as a national tragedy in the late-1980s.

  • Captain America, Watergate, and the Falcon- Rediscovering The
    Ahmed, Michael Captain America, Watergate and the Falcon Captain America, Watergate, and the Falcon: Rediscovering the American Dream? Michael Ahmed Introduction The comic book superhero Captain America, aka. Steve Rogers, made his first appearance in Captain America Comics #1, cover dated March 1941, published by Timely Comics, the predecessor to the Marvel Comics Group. Although America had not entered the war, Captain America’s creators Jack Kirby and Joe Simon suggested to Martin Goodman, the publisher of Timely Comics, that their new superhero ‘do battle with the Nazis’, to which Goodman ‘enthusiastically agreed’ – the cover of the very first issue depicted the superhero punching Hitler on the jaw: ‘Smashing Thru, Captain America came face to face with Hitler….’ (Wright 2008: 76). At a time when popular superheroes like Superman and Batman were fighting aliens, outlandish super-villains or grotesque mobsters, Kirby and Simon were committed to showing Captain America’s war time exploits. For example in their second issue, Captain America and Bucky, his superhero teenage sidekick, infiltrated a concentration camp in the Black Forest, and once again came face to face with Hitler. Subsequent issues with titles like ‘Trapped in the Nazi Stronghold’, ‘Blitzkrieg in Berlin’, and ‘Tojo’s Terror Masters’ give a flavour of Captain America’s crime fighting career at this time. Captain America was not only a potent comic book symbol of American armed forces ready to fight against fascism but more importantly, as Kirby later recalled, ‘he symbolized the American Dream […] Captain America was an outpouring of my own patriotism’ (Wright 2008: 76). This paper will primarily focus on comic book writer Steve Englehart’s tenure on the comic book during the early 1970s, and in particular a storyline that reinterpreted the real-life Watergate scandal.

  • MARVEL POP ART PRODUCTIONS the Classic Marvel Comics Group—Set in the Modern Day
    MARVEL POP ART PRODUCTIONS The Classic Marvel Comics Group—Set in the Modern Day A Proposal by Carlton J Donaghe This is a proposal for a line of giant, magazine-sized Marvel Comics, published for an all-ages, general market under the banner ‘Marvel Pop Art Productions.’ This line doesn’t replace any imprint currently published by Marvel. Instead, this self- contained set of 12 monthly titles will present a modernized version of the original Marvel Comics Group (with some later characters thrown in) packaged into an easily- accessible product designed for the general distribution market. The depiction of Marvel’s most recognizable characters in their well-known original costumes and settings will both benefit from and promote the continued use of the classic comics in merchandise and licensing. Format Each issue of every title will contain three 20-page comics, each comic with its own interior cover page and two-page spread of introductions and recaps using art from previous issues. In addition, every issue will contain a set of features, called the FOOM (Friends Of Ol’ Marvel) Pages—all in a single format, pulling the entire line together, making every one of the twelve titles an individual part of a single, sprawling epic. The front cover of each title will be a modernized version of the classic Marvel Comics Group format from the mid-1960’s, decorated with captions and blurbs in boxes, circles and arrows, and an action-oriented cover, drawn by a regular rotation of the three interior artists, depicting an exciting scene from their own story in the moment it is happening.
