Truth, Justice, and the Canadian Way: the War-Time Comics of Bell Features Publications Ivan Kocmarek Hamilton, Ontario
Truth, Justice, and the Canadian Way: The War-Time Comics of Bell Features Publications Ivan Kocmarek Hamilton, Ontario 148 What might be called the “First Age of Canadian Comics”1 began on a consum- mately Canadian political and historical foundation. Canada had entered the Second World War on September 10, 1939, nine days after Hitler invaded the Sudetenland and a week after England declared war on Germany. Just over a year after this, on December 6, 1940, William Lyon MacKenzie King led parliament in declaring the War Exchange Conservation Act (WECA) as a protectionist measure to bolster the Canadian dollar and the war economy in general. Among the paper products now labeled as restricted imports were pulp magazines and comic books.2 Those precious, four-colour, ten-cent treasure chests of American culture that had widened the eyes of youngsters from Prince Edward to Vancouver Islands immedi- ately disappeared from the corner newsstands. Within three months—indicia dates give March 1941, but these books were probably on the stands by mid-January— Anglo-American Publications in Toronto and Maple Leaf Publications in Vancouver opportunistically filled this vacuum by putting out the first issues of Robin Hood Comics and Better Comics, respectively. Of these two, the latter is widely considered by collectors to be the first true Canadian comic book becauseRobin Hood Comics Vol. 1 No. 1 seems to have been a tabloid-sized collection of reprints of daily strips from the Toronto Telegram written by Ted McCall and drawn by Charles Snelgrove. Still in Toronto, Adrian Dingle and the Kulbach twins combined forces to release the first issue of Triumph-Adventure Comics six months later (August 1941), and then publisher Cyril Bell and his artist employee Edmund T. -
“More Liveable” Speculations: the Gender of SF in Margaret Atwood's
Zagadnienia Rodzajów Literackich, LXIII, z. 1 PL ISSN 0084-4446 DOI: https://doi.org/10.26485/ZRL/2020/63.1/2 Katarzyna Ostalska University of Łódź* https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8553-7517 “More Liveable” Speculations: the Gender of SF in Margaret Atwood’s Short Story “Oursonette” and in the Comic Book / Graphic Novel War Bears Abstract Taking into account the broadness of the SF genre, the article commences with examining the difference between speculative fiction and science fiction, as outlined specifically by Donna J. Haraway and Margaret Atwood. Drawing on Atwood’s understanding of speculative genre, the paper analyses two separate but intertwined artistic forms: a classic short story with embedded dialogue and a comic book / graphic novel based upon the extended version of the earlier narrative. The short story “Oursonette” was written by Atwood as a part of a national project of artists commemorating the sesquicentennial anniversary of the Canadian Confederation. It depicts Victory in Europe Day, 8 May 1945, from the perspective of Canada and its impact upon the publishing of “Canadian whites,” otherwise known as WECA comic books. Partially black-and white War Bears (2019), referring to the tradition of “Canadian whites” comics, is a modern graphic novel, co-authored with Ken Steacy, which essentially uses the plot of Atwood’s “Oursonette” as the foundation for drawing an expanded story that precedes and follows the original. The narrative is not simply elaborated, a new dimension of visual imagery and a significant layer of intersectionality have changed its meaning to a large extent. The article analyses those alterations in detail to come to a conclusion as to whether they are beneficial or redundant to the original form and content. -
Uncovering the Grotesque in Fiction by Alice Munro and Gabrielle Roy
Uncovering the Grotesque in Fiction by Alice Munro and Gabrielle Roy Lorna Hutchison he grotesque aesthetic is at play in a diversity of fiction of the last two hundred years, including Jeremias Gotthelf’s The Black Spider (1842), Robert Louis Stevenson’s Strange Case of TDr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1886), Kafka’s The Metamorphosis (1915), and numerous works by Flannery O’Connor in the mid-twentieth century, to name only a few. Today, the grotesque is a part of the art of many of Canada’s authors and has burgeoned over the last forty years into such an important aesthetic — and strategy, as I will describe it here — in this country’s body of works that the literary theory that helps read- ers, critics, and teachers to explore the many concerns, processes, and, most importantly here, effects of the literature has not kept up with its developments. The prominence of the grotesque and the doors it opens to questions of spirituality, ethics, ways of knowing, and so much more, prompts the research question What does and does not “qualify” as literature of the grotesque? Consider two quintessential characteristics of the grotesque: dual- ity and deformity. In the Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, for example, the divided nature and deformity of Stevenson’s Jekyll-Hyde character clearly fulfills these criteria, right down to the contradiction of Jekyll-Hyde’s ominous smile: “Mr. Hyde was pale and dwarfish, he gave an impression of deformity without any nameable malformation, he had a displeasing smile” (17). One of the authors under study here, Alice Munro, creates the aesthetic through depicting contradictory states of life and death, or life and terminal illness. -

A QUARTERLY of CRITICISM and R€VI€W a NEW MAGAZINE Always Appears in a Double Guise

Recent Canadian Poetry HUGO MCPHERSON 071 Gabrielle Roy GERARD TOUGAS Bilan D'Une Littérature Naissante DWIGHT MACDONALD On Five Canadian Magazines A QUARTERLY OF CRITICISM AND R€VI€W A NEW MAGAZINE always appears in a double guise. It is in one sense the arriving guest, anxious to exert whatever attractions it may possess on its potential host — the particular public to which it has chosen to appeal. But at the same time it sets out to become a host itself, offering its hospitality to writers and their ideas, and ready to welcome to the salon of its pages the most brilliant and the most erudite of guests. During the past months we have spent much time and energy pressing the claims of Canadian Literature as a potential guest of the literary pub- lic of our country. We have pointed out that it will be the first review devoted only to the study of Canadian writers and writing. It will — we have added — throw a concentrated light on a field that has never been illuminated systematically by any previous periodical; and we have em- phasized the kind of services it will provide for writers, scholars, librarians and — by no means least — the curious reader. By the very fact of appearing, a magazine renders obsolete such pro- phecies and projections. It exists, and must become its own justification. But its very existence may have been rendered possible only by the faith of people and institutions who have been willing to become — in one way or another — its hosts. -

Department of The University of Britis Columbia 2075 Wesbrook Place Vancouver, Canada V6T 1W5 Date Research Supervisor Dr. Donald G. Stephens ABSTRACT This study examines several aspects of the 20th century Canadian Bildungsroman, most particularly the protagonists' initiatory experiences and their effect upon ultimate life- choices. The growing up novels being explored range across the entire period from Anne of Green Gables (1908) to Lives of Girls and Women (1971). The kind of novel analyzed is comparable in many ways to what the Germans call the Entwick1ungsroman, the novel-of-devel- opment, which in English has come under the all-encompassing term, the Bildungsroman. Each novel investigated begins some• where in the protagonist's childhood, passes into and through the troubled stage of adolescence, and concludes with some con• nection to adulthood. -
Oberlin and the Fight to End Slavery, 1833-1863
"Be not conformed to this world": Oberlin and the Fight to End Slavery, 1833-1863 by Joseph Brent Morris This thesis/dissertation document has been electronically approved by the following individuals: Baptist,Edward Eugene (Chairperson) Bensel,Richard F (Minor Member) Parmenter,Jon W (Minor Member) “BE NOT CONFORMED TO THIS WORLD”: OBERLIN AND THE FIGHT TO END SLAVERY, 1833-1863 A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Joseph Brent Morris August 2010 © 2010 Joseph Brent Morris “BE NOT CONFORMED TO THIS WORLD”: OBERLIN AND THE FIGHT TO END SLAVERY, 1833-1863 Joseph Brent Morris, Ph. D. Cornell University 2010 This dissertation examines the role of Oberlin (the northern Ohio town and its organically connected college of the same name) in the antislavery struggle. It traces the antislavery origins and development of this Western “hot-bed of abolitionism,” and establishes Oberlin—the community, faculty, students, and alumni—as comprising the core of the antislavery movement in the West and one of the most influential and successful groups of abolitionists in antebellum America. Within two years of its founding, Oberlin’s founders had created a teachers’ college and adopted nearly the entire student body of Lane Seminary, who had been dismissed for their advocacy of immediate abolition. Oberlin became the first institute of higher learning to admit men and women of all races. America's most famous revivalist (Charles Grandison Finney) was among its new faculty as were a host of outspoken proponents of immediate emancipation and social reform. -
2016 NEPCA News
September 2016 NEPCA established 1974 WELCOME Welcome to second e-version issue of NEPCA News. Last year NEPCA abandoned the paper edition of the newsletter for ecological, financial, and logistical reasons. Newsletters are classic "throwaway" items once they've been read, so we decided to save some trees (and ink). Moreover, the cost of designing, printing, and mailing the newsletter had risen to the point where we needed to make choices about the best use of organizational resources. The Executive Council opted to use savings to create a second graduate-student prize, buy liability insurance, and fund other endeavors with the savings from the newsletter, rather than raising dues to bolster an ephemeral medium. The last point was primary. Slow production schedules for the old newsletter meant that much of the newsletter was outdated by the time members received it. Years ago NEPCA migrated news, reviews, and notices to its Website, https://nepca.wordpress.com/ so that we could deliver up-to-date information. Surveys revealed that most conference presenters, attendees, and active members now get information online and through social media. Attendance at conferences has soared, so we must be doing something right! HOW DO I KNOW IF MY MEMBERSHIP IS UP TO DATE? We also streamlined membership. It works like this. You are currently a member if: 1. You are a lifetime member or a past president 2. You have registered for this year's conference 3. You have mailed a membership fee during the 2016 calendar year. (Memberships run October to October.) 1 Your membership expires at the end of October 2016 if you registered for the 2015 conference, but do not fall into any of the categories listed above. -

Canadian Comic Books at Library and Archives Canada1 Meaghan Scanlon
Canadian Comic Books at Library and Archives Canada1 Meaghan Scanlon Abstract Library and Archives Canada (LAC) has what is likely the largest collection of Canadian comic books in a Canadian library. LAC’s collection has three distinct parts: comics acquired via legal deposit, the John Bell Collection of Canadian Comic Books, and the Bell Features Collection. These holdings, which span the history of the comics medium in Canada, represent a significant resource for researchers studying Canadian comics. This article looks at each of the three main parts of LAC’s comic book collection, giving an overview of the contents of each part, and providing information on how researchers can discover and access these comics. The article also briefly explores other comics-related holdings at LAC. Its purpose is to provide a starting point for researchers seeking to make use of LAC’s comic book collections. Résumé Bibliothèque et Archives Canada (BAC) recèle ce qui constitue vraisemblablement la plus vaste collection de bandes dessinées canadiennes dans une bibliothèque canadienne.
