Signature Date: 17/12/2020 ii iii ABSTRACT Since the development of the superhero genre in the late 1930s it has been a contentious area of cultural discourse, particularly concerning its depictions of gender politics. A major critique of the genre is that it simply represents an adolescent male power fantasy; and presents a world view that valorises masculinist individualism.

  • 1 Skydance Television to Develop Faster Than Light Based on Best-Selling Augmented Reality Comic Book Series Santa Monica, CA, A
    Skydance Television to Develop Faster Than Light Based on Best-Selling Augmented Reality Comic Book Series Santa Monica, CA, April 8, 2016 – Skydance Television today announced that it will develop Faster Than Light, the best-selling augmented reality comic series that tells the story of humanity’s first thrilling and terrifying adventures to the stars, set in the present day. The story is by Brian Haberlin and artwork is by Haberlin and Geirrod Vandyke. In the very near future, we discover the secret of faster-than-light travel. Suddenly the universe is wide open to us, but are we ready for it? Each issue of Faster Than Light features Anomaly’s cutting-edge augmented reality app, which allows readers to turn the pages of their comic book into realistic 3D animations. It is published by Image Comics, Shadowline and received two Unity Vision Award nominations for best Augmented Reality. Volumes #6 and #7 will be released on May 11, 2016 and June 8, 2016, respectively. “The exhilarating sci-fi universe that Brian Haberlin has created in Faster Than Light features a living, breathing narrative that we believe is very well suited for television audiences and is precisely the kind of big, bold story we love to tell at Skydance,” said Marcy Ross, President of Skydance Television. “I’m incredibly excited to be working with a creative group as innovative and imaginative as the team at Skydance Television,” added Haberlin. “They have already done such great things and I know they’ve only just begun to scratch the surface ... I can’t wait to dive in with them on Faster Than Light!” Brian Haberlin is a comic book artist, writer, editor and producer.

  • Comics and Controversy: a Brief History of Comic Book Publishing
    A supplement to The Pocket Lawyer for Comic Book Creators by Thomas A. Crowell, Esq., (Focal Press, 2014). © 2014 Thomas A. Crowell, Esq. Comics and Controversy: A Brief History of Comic Book Publishing by Thomas A. Crowell, Esq. The great comic book artist, Will Eisner, defined the comic as a form of “sequential art.”1 Indeed, the narrative use of a series of images is as old as art itself: Cave paintings, Egyptian hieroglyphics, and medieval tapestries are all precursors to the comic book. Yet comics and controversy have been linked from the very start: Founder of the Protestant movement, Martin Luther, was an early target of editorial cartoons (well, engravings anyway); his critics created caricatures of him as a tool of the devil2 (so in a sense, Spider-Man can trace his origins, not just from a radioactive spider, but also from the Reformation). With the advent of the printing press and the proliferation of newspapers and broadsheets, satirical political cartoons soon began to appear. By the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, editorial cartoons were a staple in the newspapers of the day. Benjamin Franklin’s famous “Join, or Die” is acknowledged as the first political cartoon in America, and served to galvanize support for colonial unity. In 1837 the first graphic novel was published by Swiss cartoonist Rudolphe Töpffer and was serialized in the American newspapers as “The Adventures of Mr. Obadiah Oldbuck.”3 Although conspicuously missing our now-familiar word balloons and sound effects, the comic book panel 1 Comics & Sequential Art.
