    The Empowering Squirrel Girl Jayme Horne Submitted for History of Art 390 Feminism and History of Art Professor Ellen Shortell Massachusetts College of Art and Design All the strength of a squirrel multiplied to the size of a girl? That must be the Unbeatable Squirrel Girl (fig. 1)! This paper will explore Marvel’s Squirrel Girl character, from her introduction as a joke character to her 2015 The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl ​ comic series which is being harold as being extremely empowering. This paper aims to understand why a hero like Squirrel Girl would be harold and celebrated by fans, while other female heroes with feminist qualities like Captain Marvel or the New Almighty Thor might be receiving not as much praise. Squirrel Girl was created by Will Murray and artist Steve Ditko. Despite both of them having both worked for Marvel and DC, and having written stories about fan favorites like Spider-Man, Wonder Woman, Iron Man, and others, they are most known for creating Squirrel Girl, also known as Doreen Green. Her powers include superhuman strength, a furry, prehensile tail (roughly 3-4 feet long), squirrel-like buck teeth, squirrel-like retractable knuckle claws, as well as being able to communicate with squirrels and summon a squirrel army. She was first introduced in 1991, where she ambushed Iron Man in attempt to impress him and convince him to make her an Avenger. That’s when they were attacked one of Marvel’s most infamous and deadly villains, Doctor Doom. After Doctor Doom has defeated Iron Man, Squirrel Girl jumps in with her squirrel army and saves Iron Man1 (fig.

  • "Captain America Must Die": How a Super Soldier Became a Patriot
    Author Biography Mackenna is a fourth-year history major, with minors in German and Asian studies. Her research interests include the history of popular culture and the Cold War. In her free time, she enjoys reading comic books and binge-watch- ing Survivor and The Amazing Race. After graduation, she hopes to work as an editor in the comic book industry. Johnson “Captain America Must Die”: How a Super Soldier Became a Patriot by Mackenna Johnson Abstract This paper analyzes the character of Captain America in the midst of the Cold War, and particularly asks how and to what extent the character reflects his con- temporary sociopolitical atmosphere. To achieve this end, I first establish the vital role of popular culture, especially comic books, in modern historical research. I then discuss the history of Captain America, the sociopolitical situation of the 1970s, and, finally, introduce the Secret Empire and Nomad storylines of the 1970s, which form the basis of my argument. The most valuable primary source in this paper is not the comic books themselves, but an interview that I recently conducted with the former author of Captain America, Steve Englehart. Ulti- mately, I argue that Englehart redefined Captain America’s version of patriotism and created a character that was more effectively able to reflect on and respond to social and political events. In bold letters: “The Death of a Hero,” next to the lifeless figure of Cap- tain America tied to a chimney, slumped and bleeding. Two figures stood behind the slain man with bowed heads, one African American with high- tech wings strapped to his back, the other blonde-haired and clad mostly in black.

Budrow 1 Introduction In 2016, Captain America brought comic books to the forefront of national discussion with a single phrase: “Hail Hydra” (fig. 1). These two words proclaimed Captain America’s allegiance to Hydra, one of the most recognizable villains in the Marvel Comics canon and an allegory for the Nazi Party. The moment incited a riot among comic book super fans and casual onlookers alike, many arguing that by aligning Captain America with Hydra, the comic’s author Nick Spencer had disrespected the character’s origin story.1 Captain America was originally written by Jewish American authors Joe Simon and Jack Kirby in 1941. These original comics were filled with political commentary urging the United States to join World War II and condemning Nazi Germany.2 Readers of Spencer’s Secret Empire storyline argued that he had disregarded the character’s history and given potential fuel to the growing Alt-Right movement in the United States.3 This moment was not, however, the first time that Captain America had aligned with a politically charged villain.

  • Superheroes & Stereotypes: a Critical Analysis of Race, Gender, And
    SUPERHEROES & STEREOTYPES: A CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF RACE, GENDER, AND SOCIAL ISSUES WITHIN COMIC BOOK MATERIAL Gabriel Arnoldo Cruz A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY December 2018 Committee: Alberto González, Advisor Eric Worch Graduate Faculty Representative Joshua Atkinson Frederick Busselle Christina Knopf © 2018 Gabriel Arnoldo Cruz All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Alberto González, Advisor The popularity of modern comic books has fluctuated since their creation and mass production in the early 20th century, experiencing periods of growth as well as decline. While commercial success is not always consistent from one decade to the next it is clear that the medium has been and will continue to be a cultural staple in the society of the United States. I have selected this type of popular culture for analysis precisely because of the longevity of the medium and the recent commercial success of film and television adaptations of comic book material. In this project I apply a Critical lens to selected comic book materials and apply Critical theories related to race, class, and gender in order to understand how the materials function as vehicles for ideological messages. For the project I selected five Marvel comic book characters and examined materials featuring those characters in the form of comic books, film, and television adaptations. The selected characters are Steve Rogers/Captain America, Luke Cage, Miles Morales/Spider-Man, Jean Grey, and Raven Darkholme/Mystique. Methodologically I interrogated the selected texts through the application of visual and narrative rhetorical criticism.

WILL THE REAL CAPTAIN AMERICA PLEASE STAND-UP: REDEFINING THE PATRIOTIC HERO POST-9/11 A Thesis Presented to the Graduate School of Clemson University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts English by Michelle Anne Lloyd May 2016 Accepted by: Dr. Jan Holmevik, Committee Chair Dr. Lindsay Thomas, Keith Morris ABSTRACT Art, in all of its forms, has always reflected the moods and mores of the society that create it. This is true with the creating of comic books as well. Just as hardboiled novels reflected the bitterness and harshness of The Great Depression, a post-9/11 superhero had to become darker. Steve Rogers was plagued with PTSD following his revival in the 1960s and has abandoned the stars and stripes in the past, but he was not -- is not -- equipped to be Captain America in the 21st Century. The trend in comic books, and Science Fiction, following 9/11 favored the anti-hero and the hero who did not shy away from actions that would outrage the classical hero types, of which Steve Rogers’s Captain America is as near a perfect example as you are likely to find in modern literature.

  • Captain America, Watergate, and the Falcon- Rediscovering The
    Ahmed, Michael Captain America, Watergate and the Falcon Captain America, Watergate, and the Falcon: Rediscovering the American Dream? Michael Ahmed Introduction The comic book superhero Captain America, aka. Steve Rogers, made his first appearance in Captain America Comics #1, cover dated March 1941, published by Timely Comics, the predecessor to the Marvel Comics Group. Although America had not entered the war, Captain America’s creators Jack Kirby and Joe Simon suggested to Martin Goodman, the publisher of Timely Comics, that their new superhero ‘do battle with the Nazis’, to which Goodman ‘enthusiastically agreed’ – the cover of the very first issue depicted the superhero punching Hitler on the jaw: ‘Smashing Thru, Captain America came face to face with Hitler….’ (Wright 2008: 76). At a time when popular superheroes like Superman and Batman were fighting aliens, outlandish super-villains or grotesque mobsters, Kirby and Simon were committed to showing Captain America’s war time exploits. For example in their second issue, Captain America and Bucky, his superhero teenage sidekick, infiltrated a concentration camp in the Black Forest, and once again came face to face with Hitler. Subsequent issues with titles like ‘Trapped in the Nazi Stronghold’, ‘Blitzkrieg in Berlin’, and ‘Tojo’s Terror Masters’ give a flavour of Captain America’s crime fighting career at this time. Captain America was not only a potent comic book symbol of American armed forces ready to fight against fascism but more importantly, as Kirby later recalled, ‘he symbolized the American Dream […] Captain America was an outpouring of my own patriotism’ (Wright 2008: 76). This paper will primarily focus on comic book writer Steve Englehart’s tenure on the comic book during the early 1970s, and in particular a storyline that reinterpreted the real-life Watergate scandal.

  • Truth, Justice, and the American Way (Whatever That Is): Comic Book Superheroes and Political Projection
    Truth, Justice, and the American Way (Whatever That Is): Comic Book Superheroes and Political Projection Kyle Paul Morrell Honors Senior Thesis May 21, 2017 M o r r e l l | 1 TRUTH, JUSTICE, AND THE AMERICAN WAY (WHATEVER THAT IS) Comic Book Superheroes and Political Projection Kyle Paul Morrell I think you don’t want to think of your superheroes as being liberal or conservative. I think those guys should be above that. —Mark Millar.1 I. Introduction Superman didn’t always fight for truth, justice, and the American way. The phrase itself doesn’t even originate from the comic books. It actually comes from the opening of the Superman radio show, which ran from 1940 to 1951. Every show would start like this: Up in the sky! Look! It's a bird! It's a plane! It's Superman! Yes, it’s Superman—strange visitor from another planet who came to Earth with powers and abilities far beyond those of mortal men. Superman—defender of law and order, champion of equal rights, valiant, courageous fighter against the forces of hate and prejudice, who, disguised as Clark Kent, mild-mannered reporter for a great metropolitan newspaper, fights a never-ending battle for truth and justice! You don’t need x-ray vision to notice that it’s still missing that key phrase. That’s because I lied a little bit: every show would start like that until 1942. As the effort in World War II picked up, American listeners evidently needed a little more gas in the patriotic tank.
