  • Queer Here: Poetry to Comic Emma Lennen Katie Jan
    Queer Here: Poetry to Comic Emma Lennen Katie Jan Pull Quote: “For the new audience of queer teenagers, the difference between the public and the superhero resonates with them because they feel different from the rest of society.” Consider this: a superhero webcomic. Now consider this: a queer superhero webcomic. If you are anything like me, you were infinitely more elated at the second choice, despite how much you enjoy the first. I love reading queer webcomics because by being online, they bypass publishers who may shoot them down for their queerness. As a result, they manage to elude the systematic repression of the LGBTQA+ community. In the 1950s, when repression of the community was even more prevalent, Frank O’Hara wrote the poem “Homosexuality” to express his journey of acceptance as well as to give advice to future gay people. The changes I made in my translation of the poem “Homosexuality” into a modern webcomic demonstrate the different time periods’ expectations of queer content, while still telling the same story with the same purpose, just in a different genre. Despite the difference between the genres, the first two lines and the copious amount of imagery present in the poem allowed for some near-direct translation. The poem begins with “So we are taking off our masks, are we, and keeping / our mouths shut? As if we’d been pierced by a glance!” (O’Hara 1-2). While usually masks symbolize hiding your true self and therefore have a negative connotation, the poem instead considers it one’s pride. Similarly, for many superheroes, the mask does not represent shame, it represents power and responsibility.

  • Reading Between the Panels: a Metadata Schema for Webcomics Erin Donohue Melanie Feinberg INF 384C: Organizing Infor
    Reading Between the Panels: A Metadata Schema for Webcomics Erin Donohue Melanie Feinberg INF 384C: Organizing Information Spring 2014 Webcomics: A Descriptive Schema Purpose and Audience: This schema is designed to facilitate access to the oftentimes chaotic world of webcomics in a systematic and organized way. I have been reading webcomics for over a decade, and the only way I could find new comics was through word of mouth or by following links on the sites of comics I already read. While there have been a few attempts at creating a centralized listing of webcomics, these collections consist only of comic titles and artist names, devoid of information about the comics’ actual content. There is no way for users to figure out if they might like a comic or not, except by visiting the site of every comic and exploring its archive of posts. I wanted a more systematic, robust way to find comics I might enjoy, so I created a schema that could be used in a catalog of webcomics. This schema presents, at a glance, the most relevant information that webcomic fans might want to know when searching for new comics. In addition to basic information like the comic’s title and artist, this schema includes information about the comic’s content and style—to give readers an idea of what to expect from a comic without having to browse individual comic websites. The attributes are specifically designed to make browsing lots of comics quick and easy. This schema could eventually be utilized in a centralized comics database and could be used to generate recommendations using mood, art style, common themes, and other attributes.

  • Rocio Vega AI Dreams Is a Webcomic That Was Inspired by My Dreams. It Is
    Rocio Vega AI Dreams is a webcomic that was inspired by my dreams. It is a vertical scroller comic for many people to enjoy on their phones. I was introduced to a product called webtoon which is a Korean based company that is now very popular in the USA. I became interested in these webcomics because it was a different way to interact with the viewer. This is especially true to the way I wanted my illustrations to have a more fluid like movement through the pages. This is representing more on how dreams move from one to the other. The reason I chose to make a comic for my dreams, was to create a story that my dreams can live in. This was my decision because I wanted people to enjoy a journey through my dream that's easier to follow along. The flow between dreams would be connected, instead of having it separate stories in a book. The story of AI Dreams is about an AI called Avi. This webcomic is based in the future where tech has been revolutionized. The new dream program made in that time is called AI Dreams which is an easy name to remember. This is a story about an AI forced through obstacles that were set in motion by a dark force at work. An adventure into the self discovery to what Avi is, through her dreams and emotions. The way I made this webcomic was more painterly with detail lines. Many of these comics are made to be fasted paced when making them.

  • Sparkplug Books Backlist
    Sparkplug Books Backlist IndyWorld.com Sparkplug Books was a Portland-based publisher that played host to an exciting and fresh roster of diverse artists throughout its 14 years. Founded by cartoonist and comics historian Dylan Williams, whose strong ethical sense and personal taste drove the direction of the company, Sparkplug was a resolutely small press, focusing on handmade and independently produced comics in a world veering ever toward mass production. After Williams passed away in September of 2011, his wife Emily Nilsson took over and, in February 2013, passed the helm to artist Virginia Paine. Sparkplug stopped publishing books in 2015 and transferred their remaining backlist to Alternative Comics in 2016. Alternative Comics has been a co-operative organization of independent comic book publishers, editors, and artists since 1993, and is the home to some of the finest creator-owned graphic novels and comic books.
