If somebody wants to kill you, they make you a Scout. Once while I was on patrol, I entered a street and somebody from a window started calling me all kinds of names in German, and he was laughing. ‘I’m going to kill you,’ he said, ‘I’m going to shoot you right in the face.’” Jack Kirby interviewed by Ray Wyman Jr., The Jack Kirby Collector #27 Conflagration: a huge, destructive fire [Webster’s New World Dictionary] fter the war he was afraid of nothing. He trekked halfway around the world and stood face to face with evil men who wanted to slaughter him—just for his ethos—and he lived to tell about it. What could he possibly fear after that? A Jack Schiff? A Martin Goodman? A Jim Shooter? They were nothing—less than nothing. War had been hell—hellfire and conflagration. But Kirby, the advance Scout, had plunged directly into the inferno without a fire mask. The heat was paralyzing—but he never once flinched. How could he ever fear anything again? Bigness Right from the start, Jack Kirby was the comic industry’s seminal action- artist. His intuitive understanding of the action hero as iconography—as opposed to photorealism—brought an unprecedented force and dynamism to his figures. He knew from the beginning the world depicted in comics was infi- nitely larger than life: as such, lifelike illustration couldn’t begin to do it justice. Kirby reduced the human body to its basic components: he deconstructed the human form, then reassembled it in completely new aesthetic proportions. As his sinewy supermen exploded across the page, their bodies defied all known laws of physics. Their powerful arms, legs, and torsos carved endless arabesques in space—they jackknifed, corkscrewed, twisted, turned, and danced magnificently, in impossible contortions. (above) Kirby during WWII. On his sleeve is Exactly, it was “bigness.” That’s it and that’s all. No other word applies. the 1942 Anti-Aircraft Immediately, every superhero artist in the industry was copying his style—trying to capture his “bigness”—but Artillery patch. compared to Kirby, everyone else seemed pygmy.

Timely offices in the In the 1940s, Joe Simon and Jack Kirby were comics’ most successful duo. The team sold comics of all genres, to a mid-1950s. myriad of publishers.

(throughout) All pencil After the 1940s, comics suffered a near-death experience. Plagued by the Wertham crusade, a new entertainment pin-ups are from the alternative called television, and a general lull in overall creativity, comic books were definitely in trouble. When the Valentine’s Day sketchbook Jack industry crashed in the mid-’50s, Jack and Joe—whose Mainline Publications had folded—went their separate ways. drew for his wife Roz Darkening clouds of uncertainty began to gather as Kirby’s professional situation and finances began to dwindle. He got in the late 1970s. a trickle of work from Harvey and Atlas, but nothing substantial. In 1956, Kirby headed for the greener pastures of National, and began drawing Challengers of the Unknown under managing editor Jack Schiff. Meanwhile, trying to get out of comics before he went down with them, Kirby co-produced a newspaper strip called Sky Masters (along with Dave and Dick Wood, Jack Schiff, and Wally Wood). A dispute over payments led Schiff to sue Kirby. After that, the artist felt unwelcome at National and pulled up stakes. Kirby drew The Double Life of Private Strong for Archie Comics, until National’s lawyers decided The Shield’s resemblance to Superman was close enough to prompt litigation. Result: cancellation—such was DC’s power in those days. Kirby also drew a couple of issues of The Fly, but managing editor Richard Goldwater was put off by the bigness. He thought the artwork was “too creepy.” He wanted a slicker, more polished look: “Like the DC artists,” he said. As it happened, both Simon and Kirby had an axe to grind with Martin Goodman. They were piqued at not owning Captain America (Marvel had made a second attempt at matching its 1940s success in the mid-’50s), and Kirby despised 4 the company’s nepotism. But now, at age forty-one, Kirby’s prospects were bleak indeed. He was no longer king of the mountain. A landslide of misfortune had wrenched him down to where he could no longer even see the mountain’s peak. Compared to the new rising comic artists like Carmine Infantino (and DC’s slick, homogeneous “house” artists), Kirby’s big-action art suddenly seemed outmoded. Smallness was in now, as exemplified by Dick Sprang’s tiny-figured, miniaturist- approach to Batman in World’s Finest. No one at National seemed to mind Kirby leaving, and to make matters worse, Harvey Comics was canceling its action/adventure titles for more lucrative kiddie fare like Little Dot and Casper The Friendly Ghost.

Congress funded the procurement of one DDG-51 in FY2010, two in FY2011, and one more in FY2012. The Navy’s FY2012 budget submission calls for procuring seven more in FY2013-FY2016. DDG-51s to be procured through FY2015 are to be of the current Flight IIA design. The Navy wants to begin procuring a new version of the DDG-51 design, called the Flight III design, starting in FY2016. The Flight III design is to feature a new and more capable radar called the Air and Missile Defense Radar (AMDR). The Navy began preliminary design work on the Flight III DDG-51 in FY2012. The Navy wants to use a multiyear procurement (MYP) contract for DDG- 51s to be procured from FY2013 through FY2017. The Navy’s proposed FY2012 budget requested $1,980.7 million in procurement funding for the DDG-51 planned for procurement in FY2012. This funding, together with $48.0 million in advance procurement funding provided in FY2011, would complete the ship’s total estimated procurement cost of $2,028.7 million. The Navy’s proposed FY2012 budget also requested $100.7 million in advance procurement funding for two DDG-51s planned for procurement in FY2013, $453.7 million in procurement funding to help complete procurement costs for the three Zumwalt (DDG-1000) class destroyers that were procured in FY2007 and FY2009, and $166.6 million in research and development funding for the AMDR.

    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.

This relationship has also informed superhero comics themselves – going all the way back to Superman’s debut in Action Comics 1 (June 1938). As DC President Paul Levitz says of the development of the superhero: ‘There was an enormous desire to see social justice, a rectifying of corruption. Superman was a fulfillment of a pent-up passion for the heroic solution’ (quoted in Poniewozik 2002: 57).

  • Comicbooks As Cultural Archeology: Gender Representation in Captain America During WWII
    lhs (print) issn 1742–2906 lhs (online) issn 1743–1662 Article Comicbooks as cultural archeology: Gender representation in Captain America during WWII Francisco O. D. Veloso Abstract The aim of this article is to discuss how comicbooks, as complex multimodal artifacts, discursively interpret and evaluate events during World War II. More specifically, I examine how women are represented in an archive of 69 Captain America stories published by Marvel Comics between March 1941 and March 1943, drawing on theoretical developments within the area of social semiotics (Halliday, 1978; Hodge and Kress, 1988). An important argument within social semiotics and multimodal studies is that texts are a combination of semiotic resources that are used for produc- tion and consumption of meanings, in specific contexts (Hodge and Kress, 1988). As a consequence, by examining these semiotic resources one can develop a better understanding of social meanings that circulate in society and how these meanings are structurally organized. By examining forms of discourse for social analysis we may identify ways of addressing particular issues at the level of representation. Keywords: comicbooks; gender representation; social semiotics; women 1. Comicbooks as historical documents The use of the term comicbook in this article is motivated by the transforma- tions of the medium across time. Historically, the medium, in its materiality as it circulates today, originated from the newspapers’ ‘funnies’ (Inge, 1990), what is referred to as comic strips, nowadays. A first collection of reprints of previously published funnies was bound together as a giveaway for a Proc- tor and Gamble product, and the successful campaign suggested the medium Affiliation Department of Modern Languages, LIteratures, and Cultures (LILEC), University of Bologna, Italy.

A major critique of the genre is that it simply represents an adolescent male power fantasy; and presents a world view that valorises masculinist individualism.

James Bondright? When it first premiered inBatman was the most faithful adaptation of a bona fide comic book superhero ever seen on the screen. It was a nearly perfect blend of the Saturday matinee movie serials where most comic book characters had their first Hollywood break and the comics of its time. But the TV series, particularly during its genesis, was both a product of its own time, and that of an earlier era. Both Flash Gordon and Dick Tracy had made the leap to the big screen before Superman had even hit newsstands, and both saw their serial adventures get two sequels. While Flash Gordonparticularly the first one, was a faithful within the limitations of its budget translation of the Alex Raymond comic strips, Dick Tracy was less so. Years before Richard Donner and Christopher Reevethis one made audiences believe a man could fly, and featured a perfectly cast Tom Tyler in the title role, but was still rather beholden to serial storytelling conventions and the aforementioned budgetary limitations. Ad — content continues below. Batman and Robin are portrayed much as they are in the comics, despite some unfortunately cheap costumes, and less than physically convincing actors in the title roles.
