    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.

A persistent suitor rings all the changes on his entreaty and eventually succeeds - or does he? Both stories seem more like a series of snapshots than a straight, linear narrative, but convey the jolting emotional ups and downs very effectively. It's hard to believe that the stories are over eighty years old. The issues and the hard-edged graphics are as fresh and startling now as ever. The passionate, dynamic narratives include The Sun, a somber exploration of one man's struggle with destiny; The Idea, a depiction of the triumph of an artistic concept over attempts at its suppression; and Story Without Words, a tale of thwarted romance. Belgian-born Frans Masereel illustrated the works of Tolstoy, Zola, and Oscar Wilde, but he made the greatest impact with his wordless novels. These three stories, dating from the early 1920s, reflect the German Expressionist revival of the art of the woodcut. Precursors to today's graphic novels, they also represent a centuries-old The Idea First publish ed in 1920 in Paiis as ldde: sa naissance, sa uie, sa moit by Editions Ollendorf, The Idea is another allegorical tale, told in 83 woodcuts.

  • Jaymie Im Art SMP 2015 2016 Flight of Fancy SMP Mentors: Sue Johnson and Carrie Patterson
    Jaymie Im Art SMP 2015 2016 Flight of Fancy SMP Mentors: Sue Johnson and Carrie Patterson Animation is magical. Every time I create a character and make it move, I create a new life. I am awestruck by how I can take a drawing, a simple visual idea in my head, and make it move. As an animator, I choose whether or not something is realistic, scrawny, superhuman, or weird. My goal is to tell an engaging story that moves without words. By gearing my artistic process through the medium of animation, I able to create a body of work that explores ideas of anxiety, depression, time, and finally the world of childhood fantasy. I looked into ways to express my emotion through my animation. My first animated work was a three-projection piece that animated the emotion of stress and depression in a form of eyes with text playing in the middle. This animation is builds off of one of my works from earlier this year called Fear Of Judgment. Fear of Judgment expresses my anxiety and fear of people’s opinion about my work. I painted red and black words on two canvases without much preconceived planning. I wanted the painting to express my emotions and if I planned the marks it would not be as powerful. This aspect of the painting has been used again in this animation. The words in the middle of the two eyes are words I associated with the two emotions: anxiety and depression. The words and eyes are moving in a way that I thought represented the emotion.

    A NOTE FROM THE HOST COMMITTEE For four days in November, Pasadena will serve as MSA’s base of operations. (We understand there’s some minor affair planned for the city on New Year’s Day, but we’re sure it pales in comparison.) Welcome to the joys of Southern California in the fall! None of this would have been possible without the generous help of our local collaborators in and around this lovely city, including the staffs at the Westin Pasadena and the Huntington Library, Art Collections, and Botanical Gardens. Our efforts have been guided along the way by the MSA Board. We’re particularly indebted to Treasurer Gayle Rogers, Program Committee Chair Lisi Schoenbach, and MSA President Stephen Ross. The seasoned advice from last year’s organizer, Carrie Preston, helped keep it all in perspective and Alex Christie, web-master extraordinaire, agreed once again to manage the medium for the MSA message (gratis). MSA 18 would never have happened without the help of our fearless assistant, April Anderson, the one who kept us on track so that fun could be had by all. So, here’s to the fun, however you define it, and to making MSA 18 a “conference to remember.” Kevin Dettmar & Eric Bulson, Yr Obt. Servants 1 A Message from the MSA President For this year’s conference we have taken special efforts to introduce streams within the program that are aimed at more fully integrating interdisciplinary approaches, and in line with the conference theme. “Dream Factories” focuses on topics such as surrealism, psychoanalysis, fashion, architecture, cinema and design; “California and the Cultures of Modernism” considers linguistic, cultural, and racial diversity.

  • Defining Graphic Novels the Contentious Case of Wordless Novels
    Defining Graphic Novels The Contentious Case of Wordless Novels Mémoire Caroline Prévost-Levac Maîtrise en littératures d’expression anglaise Maître ès arts (M.A.) Québec, Canada © Caroline Prévost-Levac, 2018 Defining Graphic Novels The Contentious Case of Wordless Novels Mémoire Caroline Prévost-Levac Sous la direction de : Jean-Philippe Marcoux, directeur de recherche Résumé Malgré la longue et riche histoire des bandes dessinées, leur définition continue de stimuler le débat parmi les experts. Ces derniers ne parviennent toujours pas à s’entendre sur la composition d’une bande dessinée, certains choisissant de mettre l’emphase sur l’usage de phylactères ou de lignes de mouvement, tandis que d’autres insistent plutôt sur la présence d’éléments à la fois graphiques et narratifs. Une définition impeccable est peut- être improbable, mais un problème mérite toutefois d’être adressé : il s’agit bien sûr de la constante exclusion des romans graphiques sans texte. Cette catégorie d’œuvres est parfois mentionnée, mais se révèle plus souvent ignorée par les experts. En effet, les définitions courantes persistent à représenter les bandes dessinées comme un indéniable mélange de texte et d’images. Ce mémoire cherche donc à démontrer la nécessité de définitions plus inclusives, afin d’incorporer les romans graphiques sans texte. D’abord, en explorant l’histoire du médium et le rôle du texte dans la création et la lecture des romans graphiques, nous réfuterons les idées préconçues qui ont apporté à l’élément textuel de la bande dessinée une allure de nécessité. Puis, à travers l’analyse des romans graphiques sans texte The Arrival de Shaun Tan et The System de Peter Kuper, nous rendrons évidente la nature facultative du texte dans le processus de création d’une histoire de bande dessinée.
