  • The Secret Life of Comics: Socializing and Seriality Carol L. Tilley
    The Secret Life of Comics: Socializing and Seriality Carol L. Tilley, Presenter Sara Bahnmaier, Recorder Dr. Carol Tilley delivered a vision session to the 32nd annual meeting of NASIG in Indianapolis, Indiana, on the history of comics readership and libraries, particularly in the United States during the mid-twentieth century, and the relevance of comics to libraries in the present. It raised awareness for the audience about progress that has been made on comics collecting and programming, as well as the need for librarians to continue and heighten their enthusiasm for this work . It also reminded us that comics tell stories and communicate ideas. They are part of our cultural heritage and they have been for decades. In questions and answers, the audience discussed both the challenges and the rewards of acquiring and organizing comics at their own institutions. (After the introduction by Steve Kelley on behalf of NASIG): It helps me to acknowledge the ground on which I stand by connecting the personal with the professional. Let me start here: Steve mentioned that I’m a native of Indiana and I was born and raised in Vevay, Indiana, near to but a little cut off from Indianapolis by the hills and the river. I was really fortunate as a kid growing up to be living on the same block as the library. Because the library and my parents’ house were the only buildings in town with the same dark red wire-cut brick, and the same red Spanish clay tile roof, I assumed that it was a link between the library and me.

  • VFW Into 2007 Or Even Beyond, but I Didn’T Expect It to Mutate from a Two-To-Four Page Local Newszine Into a Full-Fledged Genzine with a Huge Worldwide Readership
    1 This is the 100th Vegas Fandom Weekly. That surprises me even more than it does you. I’ve never done 100 of any fanzine. Whim has often ruled my fanac and once I feel I’ve met the challenge of one project, I begin to divert energy to the next one. Almost before I notice, I’ve stopped one fanzine and started another. Yet here I am, ready to follow Brad Foster’s front-cover injunction to celebrate 100 issues. Actually, I might have been willing to make an optimistic prediction about continuing VFW into 2007 or even beyond, but I didn’t expect it to mutate from a two-to-four page local newszine into a full-fledged genzine with a huge worldwide readership. That weekly schedule — The zine’s slogan called it “sorta weekly” even when it came out weekly for well over a year — is just a memory, but the average issue is now 28 pages. Truthfully, it’s more like a powerful drug. Right now, I simply can’t imagine not producing more issues. I have ideas for other fanzines I’d like to try, but VFW shows no sign of loosening its grip on my fanpublishing. Frankly, I can’t even bring myself to change the zine’s name. I have this waking nightmare that world climate change will one day force me to move somewhere else and that I will leave Core Fandom for an obsession with metal detecting or something else of that ilk — but I’ll still be producing regular issues of something that isn’t “Vegas,” “Fandom” or “Weekly” under the same old logo.
