  • Tove Jansson's Character Studies for the Moomin
    INTRODUCTION by Tom Devlin, Creative Director at Drawn & Quarterly In 2011, I went to Helsinki and was lucky enough to tour Tove Jansson’s studio. She lived in the same large studio for fifty-seven years. It was easy to picture Tove there. I saw the table she used to write at; I saw the wood-burning stove she used to heat her house during the long winters; I saw the shelves and shelves of books—many her own, or her favorites by other authors, and even the hand-lettered scrapbooks her mother, Signe, made where she stored the strips she clipped from the newspaper. I saw the tiny alcove with the even tinier bed she had slept in for years. It was surprising how modest the whole place was. As far as I knew she was Finland’s greatest literary celebrity, and yet she had lived such a simple life. Of course, I should have known this before I stepped over the threshold. It’s in her books. It’s visually manifest in her comics. The Moomins them- selves live modest lives. They have many adventures but home is simple and comforting and there is nothing unnecessary. Rereading these comics just before preparing this book, it struck me just how much of Tove we get in these stories. The Moomin stories (whether in chapter book, picture book, or comic form) all have a similar quality—a quality that is rare in today’s world. There’s a distinctly carefree, individualist vibe mixed with a hint of playful cynicism, a kind of embrace-life-and-live-it-to-its- fullest-but-maybe-don’t-get-too-carried-away ethos.

  • Considering Ethical Questions in (Non)Fiction: Reading and Writing About Graphic Novels
    e Interdisciplinary Journal of Popular Culture and Pedagogy Considering Ethical Questions in (Non)Fiction: Reading and Writing about Graphic Novels Gene McQuillan Kingsborough Community College /The City University of New York Brooklyn, NY, USA [email protected] ABSTRACT Teachers often feature graphic novels in college courses, and recent research notes how these texts can help make the process of reading more engaging as well as more complex. Graphic novels help enhance a variety of “literacies”; they offer bold representations of people dealing with trauma or marginalization; they explore how “texts” can be re-invented; they exemplify how verbal and visual texts are often adapted; they are ideal primers for introducing basic concepts of “post-modernism.” However, two recurring textual complications in graphic novels can pose difficulties for students who are writing about ethical questions. First, graphic novels often present crucial scenes by relying heavily on the use of verbal silence (or near silence) while emphasizing visual images; second, the deeper ethical dimensions of such scenes are suggested rather than discussed through narration or dialogue. This article will explain some of the challenges and options for writing about graphic novels and ethics. Keywords: Graphic novels; ethics; literacies; Art Spiegelman; Maus; Alison Bechdel; Fun Home 38 Volume 5, Issue 1 Considering Ethical Questions in (Non)Fiction I am committed to using graphic novels in my English courses. This commitment can be a heavy one- -in my case, it sometimes weighs about 40 pounds. If one stopped by my Introduction to Literature course at Kingsborough Community College (the City University of New York), one could see exactly what I mean.

  • Comics Were Also Constant Companions for Dylan
    StartingStarting outout ReadingR di was big bi in i Dylan’s D l ’ childhood, hildh d especially i ll fantasy f t novels. l AlAlong with ith TheTh Lord L d of f the Rings, he gobbled up stories by Alan Garner and Susan Cooper. These British writers specialised in Dylan’s favourite kind of story: where the fantastic – the magical – enters the real world and changes it, sometimes in alarming ways. As a teenager, “when life was more complicated,” Dylan escaped by reading the kinds of books we usually associate with younger readers, things like Paddington Bear and Winnie the Pooh (Dylan identified with Piglet). Comics were also constant companions for Dylan. In fact, the entire Horrocks family loved them, which was unusual in the 1960s and 70s. This was a time when many parents (and teachers and librarians) frowned on comics because they weren’t “proper” books. But Dylan’s dad, Roger, had once thought about being a comic book artist himself. He brought home a steady supply of them, in all their different forms. There were British war comics, the Asterix and Tintin series, American underground comix*, and the French comic magazine Pilote. Dylan has been drawing cartoons and comics ever since he could hold a pencil. He always knew that he would be a comic book artist. He had natural talent as well as great determination and filled endless notebooks with his work – war stories, mostly. He also manoeuvred cartoons into every possible school project. “I was drawing all When I visited Dylan, he was about to go to Europe to promote his latest the time,” Dylan remembers.

  • (“Spider-Man”) Cr
    PRIVILEGED ATTORNEY-CLIENT COMMUNICATION EXECUTIVE SUMMARY SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED LICENSE AGREEMENT (“SPIDER-MAN”) CREATIVE ISSUES This memo summarizes certain terms of the Second Amended and Restated License Agreement (“Spider-Man”) between SPE and Marvel, effective September 15, 2011 (the “Agreement”). 1. CHARACTERS AND OTHER CREATIVE ELEMENTS: a. Exclusive to SPE: . The “Spider-Man” character, “Peter Parker” and essentially all existing and future alternate versions, iterations, and alter egos of the “Spider- Man” character. All fictional characters, places structures, businesses, groups, or other entities or elements (collectively, “Creative Elements”) that are listed on the attached Schedule 6. All existing (as of 9/15/11) characters and other Creative Elements that are “Primarily Associated With” Spider-Man but were “Inadvertently Omitted” from Schedule 6. The Agreement contains detailed definitions of these terms, but they basically conform to common-sense meanings. If SPE and Marvel cannot agree as to whether a character or other creative element is Primarily Associated With Spider-Man and/or were Inadvertently Omitted, the matter will be determined by expedited arbitration. All newly created (after 9/15/11) characters and other Creative Elements that first appear in a work that is titled or branded with “Spider-Man” or in which “Spider-Man” is the main protagonist (but not including any team- up work featuring both Spider-Man and another major Marvel character that isn’t part of the Spider-Man Property). The origin story, secret identities, alter egos, powers, costumes, equipment, and other elements of, or associated with, Spider-Man and the other Creative Elements covered above. The story lines of individual Marvel comic books and other works in which Spider-Man or other characters granted to SPE appear, subject to Marvel confirming ownership.

  • Writing About Comics
    NACAE National Association of Comics Art Educators English 100-v: Writing about Comics From the wild assertions of Unbreakable and the sudden popularity of films adapted from comics (not just Spider-Man or Daredevil, but Ghost World and From Hell), to the abrupt appearance of Dan Clowes and Art Spiegelman all over The New Yorker, interesting claims are now being made about the value of comics and comic books. Are they the visible articulation of some unconscious knowledge or desire -- No, probably not. Are they the new literature of the twenty-first century -- Possibly, possibly... This course offers a reading survey of the best comics of the past twenty years (sometimes called “graphic novels”), and supplies the skills for reading comics critically in terms not only of what they say (which is easy) but of how they say it (which takes some thinking). More importantly than the fact that comics will be touching off all of our conversations, however, this is a course in writing critically: in building an argument, in gathering and organizing literary evidence, and in capturing and retaining the reader's interest (and your own). Don't assume this will be easy, just because we're reading comics. We'll be working hard this semester, doing a lot of reading and plenty of writing. The good news is that it should all be interesting. The texts are all really good books, though you may find you don't like them all equally well. The essays, too, will be guided by your own interest in the texts, and by the end of the course you'll be exploring the unmapped territory of literary comics on your own, following your own nose.
