  • Myth, Metatext, Continuity and Cataclysm in Dc Comics’ Crisis on Infinite Earths
    WORLDS WILL LIVE, WORLDS WILL DIE: MYTH, METATEXT, CONTINUITY AND CATACLYSM IN DC COMICS’ CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS Adam C. Murdough A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS August 2006 Committee: Angela Nelson, Advisor Marilyn Motz Jeremy Wallach ii ABSTRACT Angela Nelson, Advisor In 1985-86, DC Comics launched an extensive campaign to revamp and revise its most important superhero characters for a new era. In many cases, this involved streamlining, retouching, or completely overhauling the characters’ fictional back-stories, while similarly renovating the shared fictional context in which their adventures take place, “the DC Universe.” To accomplish this act of revisionist history, DC resorted to a text-based performative gesture, Crisis on Infinite Earths. This thesis analyzes the impact of this singular text and the phenomena it inspired on the comic-book industry and the DC Comics fan community. The first chapter explains the nature and importance of the convention of “continuity” (i.e., intertextual diegetic storytelling, unfolding progressively over time) in superhero comics, identifying superhero fans’ attachment to continuity as a source of reading pleasure and cultural expressivity as the key factor informing the creation of the Crisis on Infinite Earths text. The second chapter consists of an eschatological reading of the text itself, in which it is argued that Crisis on Infinite Earths combines self-reflexive metafiction with the ideologically inflected symbolic language of apocalypse myth to provide DC Comics fans with a textual "rite of transition," to win their acceptance for DC’s mid-1980s project of self- rehistoricization and renewal.

  • Introduction
    NOTES INTRODUCTION 1. For a good overview of the early publishing history of Westerns, see Daryl Jones's first chapter in The Dime Novel Western (Bowling Green, OH: Bowling Green State University Popular Press, 1978). The market for inexpensive, cowboy-adventure tales like the Buck Taylor Series, or the Young Roughriders Series, grew dramatically in the decades following the Civil War. Companies like the House of Beadle and Adams, the leader in the market, or its successful competitor Street and Smith, prospered by churning out hundreds of five-cent weeklies, yellow backs, Ten Cent Novels, and penny pamphlets every year. Pulp (low-quality paper) was cheap, and the recently invented steam-rotary press reduced production costs significantly. And the sales figures are impressive: A first printing of sixty to seventy thousand often went through ten or twelve editions in a single year, eventually selling more than six hundred thousand copies and being translated into half a dozen languages (Jones 5). There were probably more readers than the sales figures suggest, since the inexpensive paperbacks were frequently passed from hand to hand until they were literally read to pieces. 2. See Ben Merchant Vorpahl's My Dear Wister: The Frederic Remington­ Own Wister Letters (Palo Alto: Stanford University Press, 1972), p. 303. 3. "Frontier" is a widely contested term. Traditionally when applied in Colonial and Early American contexts, "frontier" means the region outside settlements along the Atlantic territories of North America. In the nineteenth century, Anglo-Americans use the term "frontier" to mean an amorphous line extending from the banks of the Mississippi and Missouri Rivers westward.
