    ‘Yes, But What Have You Done for Me Lately?’: Intersections of Intellectual Property, Work-for-Hire, and The Struggle of the Creative Precariat in the American Comic Book Industry © 2019 By Ora Charles McWilliams Submitted to the graduate degree program in American Studies and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Co-Chair: Ben Chappell Co-Chair: Elizabeth Esch Henry Bial Germaine Halegoua Joo Ok Kim Date Defended: 10 May, 2019 ii The dissertation committee for Ora Charles McWilliams certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: ‘Yes, But What Have You Done for Me Lately?’: Intersections of Intellectual Property, Work-for-Hire, and The Struggle of the Creative Precariat in the American Comic Book Industry Co-Chair: Ben Chappell Co-Chair: Elizabeth Esch Date Approved: 24 May 2019 iii Abstract The comic book industry has significant challenges with intellectual property rights. Comic books have rarely been treated as a serious art form or cultural phenomenon. It used to be that creating a comic book would be considered shameful or something done only as side work. Beginning in the 1990s, some comic creators were able to leverage enough cultural capital to influence more media. In the post-9/11 world, generic elements of superheroes began to resonate with audiences; superheroes fight against injustices and are able to confront the evils in today’s America. This has created a billion dollar, Oscar-award-winning industry of superhero movies, as well as allowed created comic book careers for artists and writers.

  • JB's Extensive Listing of Pulp-Related Gaming Resources

Although I had nothing to do with the final version Pulpof the product Gaming I did do a huge Resources amount of research on the genre while working on the original draft -- my original list of resources is 12 typewritten pages long). Whether you’re looking for adventure seeds, information to use in expanding your campaign or simply inspiration while creating your next intrepid hero, the information that follows will prove both useful and insightful. In compiling this resource, I have deviated from the standard definition of “Classic Pulp”, instead adopting a much broader interpretation in which camp and over-the-top actions are the defining factors. Ultimately, the deciding factor as to whether to include a reference or not was the answer to the following question: “Does this reference contain information that could easily be used in a pulp adventure or campaign?” If the answer was yes, it was included; otherwise, it got the boot! ROLEPLAYING GAMES Some of these games are out of print, while others are available only as electronic files, so getting your hands on them may require a trip to an online vendor such as RPGNow or perhaps even eBay.

  • The Following Is a Transcript of a Presentation I Made at the in Your Write Mind Conference at Seton Hill University on 22 June 2018
    The following is a transcript of a presentation I made at the In Your Write Mind Conference at Seton Hill University on 22 June 2018. The audience comprised largely graduates of the University's MFA program for novelists. - FAJr. WRITING FOR THE NEW PULP FICTION MARKET Ever hear of The Purple Scar? Lady Domino? The Black Bat? How about the Shadow? Doc Savage? Conan the Barbarian? Ah, I see recognition lighting up a few faces. The aforementioned heroes and heroine are members of the pantheon of pulp fiction characters popular in the magazines of the 1930s and 40s. Literary types are fond of tagging Pulp Fiction as "escapist literature named after the cheap pulp paper on which the magazines were printed." I prefer to think that Pulp Fiction is named after the state in which the villains are left after the hero is finished beating the living snot out of them. Hundreds of pulp magazines graced the newsstands and magazine racks of America, some monthly and some weekly in the 1930s and 40s. And they kept authors like H.P. Lovecraft, Fritz Leiber, Ray Bradbury, Robert E. Howard, Robert Bloch, Kenneth Robeson, Dashiell Hammett, Raymond Chandler and a host of others from starving to death in the hard times of the Great Depression. As a matter of fact, during the Depression, the prolific Robert E. Howard had a greater income than the President of the bank in his hometown of Cross Plains, Texas. The magazines had titles like Spicy Detective Stories, Weird Tales, Astounding Science Fiction, THRILLING ADVENTURE, THRILLING DETECTIVE, THRILLING MYSTERY, THRILLING RANCH, THRILLING SPORTS, THRILLING WESTERN, and THRILLING WONDER STORIES.

The J. T. Oliver Photo Collection In my teenage years when Southern fans were few and far between I picked up the nickname of “The Traveling Fan” for a while, largely due to my quest to find kindred spirits. I made trips to meet Al Andrews in Birmingham, Dave Hulan in Huntsville, James ayers in Attalla, AL, Shelby and Suzy Vick and Norm Metcalfe in Panama City, James Ayers in Attalla, Ala., and Emile Greenleaf in New Orleans. I also visited J.T. Oliver in Columbus, Ga. J.T. was among a small group of active fans in the 1950s in Georgia. Others included Lee Hoffman in Savannah, Roger D. Aycock in Rome, and the coterie of fans that formed that Atlanta Science Fiction Organization. Aycock, by the way, was also a pro who wrote under the name of Roger Dee. Since Columbus was only 30 miles from Opelika, I made several trips to visit J.T. I thought nothing of it at the time but realized later that he lived in one of the mill villages and probably worked in one of the mills. I remember him explaining that the Columbus high schools were culturally dispersed.

The World met the 'Man of Bronze' in a novel titled The Man of Bronze (#001), March 1933. "Doc Savage" was created by Street&Smith’s Henry W. Ralston -- with help from editor John L. Nanovic -- in order to capitalize on the surprise success of "The Shadow" magazine. It was Lester Dent, though, who crafted the character into the superman that he became. Dent -- who wrote most of the adventures -- described his hero Clark “Doc” Savage Jr. as a cross between “Sherlock Holmes with his deducting ability, Tarzan of the Apes with his towering physique and muscular ability, Craig Kennedy with his scientific knowledge, and Abraham Lincoln with his Christ-liness.” Through 181 novels, the fight against Evil was on.
