  • Public Domain Children's Books
    Public Domain Children’s Books By Tony Laidig Whenever I talk about the Public Domain (which is all the time), I often get questions about children’s books from the Public Domain and whether they’ll sell. So I decided to take a serious look into Children’s Books to see what I could discover about them. In this article, I will: ❍ Show you the results of my market research ❍ Provide the best sources online for finding Children’s Books and related items ❍ Offer suggestions for products that you may not have thought about before now Let’s get started. When researching Children’s Books, it’s really easy to get locked into a certain way of thinking about them…as you remember them from your youth…or simply as “books for kids.” But when I think about Children’s Books, my thought process extends MUCH further and consider the children’s niche from a lot of different perspectives. To research effectively, I like to begin with the end in mind, so I consider things like: ❍ Who is my target audience? ❍ What potential product ideas could be based on Children’s Books? © 2014 Tony Laidig 1 http://easybookillustrations.com ❍ Are there sub-niches within the Children’s Books niche that would be best to target? ❍ What are the best ways to sell these products? Dedicated website, eBay.com, Amazon.com, traditional bookstores, etc.? On the pages that follow, we will take a look at each of these points and determine whether children’s books are indeed a waste of time or an absolute goldmine.

  • Heroes’ I Can Write About Are Phenomena.” — H.P
    — HEROES — HEROES “Only the cosmic framework itself—or such individuals as symbolise principles (or defiances of principles) of the cosmic framework—can gain a deep grip on my imagination and set it to work creating. In other words, the only ‘heroes’ I can write about are phenomena.” — H.P. Lovecraft, letter to E. Hoffman Price, Aug. 15, 1934 (SELE ct ED LE tt ERS V, p. 19) or each hero, the first paragraph gives a quick summary of their origin and pow- Fers, and briefly discusses their mainstream Nedor Comics career. The second paragraph focuses on their appearance in the Lovecraft lines: Dream Master and Adventures Into Darkness. (For the Dream Master and Nodens, two heroes essentially restricted to the Lovecraft lines, the first paragraph simply discusses their pow- ers and origins.) It covers some of their particularly popular or iconic adventures, nemeses, etc. in those books, but is obviously far from complete.

  • 1918: O Fim Do Século Xix, 100 Anos Depois
    1918: O FIM DO SÉCULO XIX, 100 ANOS DEPOIS José Otaviano da Mata Machado Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori. (Horácio, Odes) But the past is just the same – and War’s a bloody game… Have you forgotten yet?… Look down, and swear by the slain of the War that you’ll never forget. (Siegfried Sassoon, “Aftermath: March 1919”) O conflito que varreu a Europa e grande parte dos países sob sua influência ou do- mínio político entre 1914 e 1918 recebeu uma miríade de epítetos: a “Grande Guerra”, a “Guerra de trincheiras”, a “Guerra para acabar com todas as guerras”. Nenhum destes é hiperbólico: as dimensões do conflito foram sem precedentes em todos os seus aspectos. Sob um ponto de vista geopolítico, foi de fato a primeira guerra de escala mundial; embora a Grã-Bretanha e a França tenham se envolvido em diversas guerras coloniais nos séculos XVIII e XIX, em campos de batalha tão diversos quanto a Índia, a Europa, e a América do Norte, raramente esses conflitos envolviam as outras potências europeias – muito menos todas elas. A Primeira Guerra Mundial envolveu não só Inglaterra e França, como trouxe para as trincheiras a Alemanha e os grandes impérios do século XIX – o Império Austro- -Húngaro e o Império Turco-Otomano –, soldados de países coloniais como Índia, Canadá, China e Senegal e, pela primeira vez na história, os Estados Unidos da América – em uma rejeição à célebre advertência de George Washington para que o país nunca se envolvesse em “complicações europeias”. (HOBSBAWM, 1994, p. 31) Sob uma perspectiva militar, a Primeira Guerra Mundial também foi de uma dimen- são inédita: antes mesmo da deflagração do conflito, entre 19 e 50 milhões de homens armados estavam a postos em ambos os lados das fronteiras.

  • Patriotism to Skepticism: Captain America and The
    PATRIOTISM TO SKEPTICISM: CAPTAIN AMERICA AND THE CHANGING CULTURAL LANDSCAPE by BRANDI MONTANA HODO LUKE NIILER, COMMITTEE CHAIR FREDERICK WHITING STACY MORGAN A THESIS Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of English in the Graduate School of The University of Alabama TUSCALOOSA, ALABAMA 2011 Copyright Brandi Montana Hodo 2011 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT Since the early 1930s, the genre of comic books have featured stories to amaze, to frighten, and to entertain readers. However, comic books are not just forms of entertainment, but cultural artifacts that mirror and, at times, analyze the attitudes of a particular period. In this thesis, I am using Captain America as a way to trace the changes in popular American culture, from the character’s inception in March of 1941 until the 2009 creation of a new Captain America. This study, using the framework of New Historicism, details the history of the character through the World War II, the Cold War, the Vietnam War, the Watergate Scandal, and the post- 9/11 eras. The purpose of this study is to see how the Captain’s attitudes and actions reflect those of his readers. ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to thank Dr. Luke Niiler for giving me a chance to write a thesis with a topic that is outside of the norm. Dr. Niiler has supported me in this endeavor from the first panic filled email to the final product and patiently listened to me blather on about comic books. I want to thank my other committee members, Dr.

There are people who really deserve it in capital letters, because they contributed directly to the outcome. Others, they could not help in such a way, either because they were too far or simply because they could not figure out how important it was for me, but their existence was enough to encourage me along the way.

  • List of Superhero Debuts
    List of SuperHero debuts The following is a list of the first known appearances of various superhero fictional characters and teams. A superhero (also known as a super hero) is a fictional character "of unprecedented physical prowess dedicated to acts of derring-do in the public interest."[1] Since the debut of the prototypal superhero Superman in 1938, stories of superheroes — ranging from brief episodic adventures to continuing years-long sagas — have dominated American comic books and crossed over into other media. A female superhero is sometimes called a superheroine or super heroine. By most definitions, characters need not have actual superhuman powers to be deemed superheroes, although sometimes terms such as costumed crimefighters[2] are used to refer to those without such powers who have many other common traits of superheroes. 1850-1900 Penny Dreadful Character / Team / Year Debuted Creator/s First Appearance Series George A.
