    Copyright 2013 Shawn Patrick Gilmore THE INVENTION OF THE GRAPHIC NOVEL: UNDERGROUND COMIX AND CORPORATE AESTHETICS BY SHAWN PATRICK GILMORE DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2013 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor Michael Rothberg, Chair Professor Cary Nelson Associate Professor James Hansen Associate Professor Stephanie Foote ii Abstract This dissertation explores what I term the invention of the graphic novel, or more specifically, the process by which stories told in comics (or graphic narratives) form became longer, more complex, concerned with deeper themes and symbolism, and formally more coherent, ultimately requiring a new publication format, which came to be known as the graphic novel. This format was invented in fits and starts throughout the twentieth century, and I argue throughout this dissertation that only by examining the nuances of the publishing history of twentieth-century comics can we fully understand the process by which the graphic novel emerged. In particular, I show that previous studies of the history of comics tend to focus on one of two broad genealogies: 1) corporate, commercially-oriented, typically superhero-focused comic books, produced by teams of artists; 2) individually-produced, counter-cultural, typically autobiographical underground comix and their subsequent progeny. In this dissertation, I bring these two genealogies together, demonstrating that we can only truly understand the evolution of comics toward the graphic novel format by considering the movement of artists between these two camps and the works that they produced along the way.

  • The Edgar® Judging Process – an Overview

    The Edgar® Judging Process – an Overview

    The Edgar® Judging Process – An Overview Since 1946, the annual presentation of the Edgar Allan Poe Awards has been one of the most important and certainly the most publicly visible task undertaken by the Mystery Writers of America. The number of awards given out has grown from one (the very first award, given to Watchful at Night by Julius Fast, was for Best First Novel by an American Author) to twelve, with other awards (link here?) given out on the same night. Of course, the actual presentation of these awards is the last step in a year-long process, with 68 judges considering almost 2,000 books, short stories, and many television programs. It’s an incredible amount of work, year in and year out, but without it the Edgar®, the most prestigious award in the mystery business, would be “nevermore.” It all starts with the selection of the General Awards Chair. His or her job is to oversee the entire judging process, to answer any questions, and to resolve any problems. But before any of that can begin, the General Awards Chair needs to choose one chairperson for each of the nine individual Edgar categories, plus the Simon & Schuster Mary Higgins Clark Award. Those ten chairs will in turn select four or more other judges to fill out the judging panels. The only exception to this is Best Novel – because of the sheer volume of books received (over 500 in 2013), this panel will usually have eight judges. In all cases, the panels are filled with active staus MWA members.

    WRA Summer Reading Program 2017

    WRA SummeR ReAding PRogram 2017 Western Reserve Academy Leisure Summer Reading 2017 Most members of the Reserve community find pleasure in reading. For those of us tied to the academic calendar, summers and holidays give us what we need most—time. With that in mind, we offer students this list of recommended books for summer reading. This list is intended for student LEISuRe reading. We hope the variety piques student interest and provides the opportunity to expand horizons, satisfy curiosity, and/or offer an enjoyable escape. Titles include: “classics” to recently published titles, relatively easy to challenging reading levels, and a variety of genres covering diverse subjects. Also included is a list of recommended websites to locate further suggestions for award-winning books and titles of interest. This list is updated annually by members of the John D. Ong library staff. Titles are recommended by members of the WRA community or by respected review sources including the Young Adult Library Services Association (YALSA), a division of the American Library Association. A few titles have frank passages that mirror some aspects of life explicitly. Therefore, we urge parents to explore the titles your teenagers choose and discuss the book as well as the choice with them. All the books on this list should be available in libraries and/or bookstores. The Ong Library will also arrange for a special “summer checkout” for anyone interested. Just ask at the library front desk. Enjoy your summer and your free time, and try to spend some of it reading! Your feedback about any title on this list is welcome—and we also welcome your recommendations for titles to add in the future.
