Tripwire Magazine Tripwire started life as a magazine back in 1992 and quickly garnered a reputation for covering the more independent side of the comics industry in the UK and US. It began to cover films and TV in 1999. It ceased publication as a print magazine in 2013 but launched as a website in 2015, adapting seamlessly to the new digital format. It is seen as the pre-eminent British comics and genre publication with industry fans that include Richard Taylor, who heads up Peter Jackson’s Weta, American Gods writer-producer Bryan Fuller, best-selling Scottish crime writer Ian Rankin (Rebus), Senior DC VP Mark Chiarello and movie poster legend Drew Struzan (Indiana Jones, Star Wars). Tripwire has interviewed every major mover and shaker in the worlds of comics, TV and film including Matt Groening (The Simpsons), Guillermo del Toro (Pan’s Labyrinth) and Joss Whedon (Batgirl). 2017 marks Tripwire’s 25th anniversary. “Tripwire represents that most precious gem: a pop culture publication by fans, for fans. It is, then, terrif- ically exciting to see Tripwire stretch its tentacles firmly into the digital sphere with this superbly curated compendium of genre culture.” Richard Taylor, Weta Workshop (NZ) (Lord Of The Rings, The Hobbit) “TRIPWIRE has been, for more than two decades the touchstone of comic book culture in the UK and one of the leading periodicals dedicated to this narrative art form. Incisive, smart and always relevant.” Guillermo del Toro, Director, Hellboy, Crimson Peak, Pan’s Labyrinth, Pacific Rim “Hard to believe that Tripwire is already 25 – and looking more youthful than ever. Still the coolest magazine on the planet,and helping young and old alike fritter away their lives with the best coverage of comics, film, TV and games. All hail, and here’s to the next 25!” Ian Rankin, best-selling author, Rebus MARKETING AGENDA Marketing Promotion To attract an audience of 10,000+ we have a robust We have a substantial advertising budget and will be marketing plan in place with key advertising spaces promoting the event widely throughout the country to our already booked! target markets: • Regional Large format billboard advertising • Regional Radio advertising Date Announcement • National Comics and Trade Publication advertising In March 2017 we announced Portsmouth International • Regional Press advertising Comic Con through our social media channels.

  • Myth, Metatext, Continuity and Cataclysm in Dc Comics’ Crisis on Infinite Earths
    WORLDS WILL LIVE, WORLDS WILL DIE: MYTH, METATEXT, CONTINUITY AND CATACLYSM IN DC COMICS’ CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS Adam C. Murdough A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS August 2006 Committee: Angela Nelson, Advisor Marilyn Motz Jeremy Wallach ii ABSTRACT Angela Nelson, Advisor In 1985-86, DC Comics launched an extensive campaign to revamp and revise its most important superhero characters for a new era. In many cases, this involved streamlining, retouching, or completely overhauling the characters’ fictional back-stories, while similarly renovating the shared fictional context in which their adventures take place, “the DC Universe.” To accomplish this act of revisionist history, DC resorted to a text-based performative gesture, Crisis on Infinite Earths. This thesis analyzes the impact of this singular text and the phenomena it inspired on the comic-book industry and the DC Comics fan community. The first chapter explains the nature and importance of the convention of “continuity” (i.e., intertextual diegetic storytelling, unfolding progressively over time) in superhero comics, identifying superhero fans’ attachment to continuity as a source of reading pleasure and cultural expressivity as the key factor informing the creation of the Crisis on Infinite Earths text. The second chapter consists of an eschatological reading of the text itself, in which it is argued that Crisis on Infinite Earths combines self-reflexive metafiction with the ideologically inflected symbolic language of apocalypse myth to provide DC Comics fans with a textual "rite of transition," to win their acceptance for DC’s mid-1980s project of self- rehistoricization and renewal.
