    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.

    LAST SUPERMAN STANDING: THE STANDING: SUPERMAN LAST LAST SUPERMAN STANDING Alfred John Plastino might not be as famous as the creators of Nancy, Joe Palooka, Batman, and other classic daily and THE STORY Sunday newspaper strips, but he worked on many of them. And of ALAL PLASTINOPLASTINO his era, Plastino was the last surviving penciler/inker of Superman comic books. In these pages, the artist remembers both his struggles and triumphs in the world of cartooning and beyond. A near-century of history and insights shared by Al, his family, and contemporaries Allen Bellman, Nick Cardy, Joe Giella, and Carmine Infantino— along with successors Jon Bogdanove, Jerry Ordway, and Mark Waid —paint a layered portrait of Plastino’s life and career.

    WILLIAM ROTSLER POST OFFICE BOX 3126 LOS ANGELES CALIFORNIA 90028 jurrg/W Jj 13 June 77 Received a letter from George Barr, along with a lot of good quotes. He starts out by saying he felt guilty for not writing, etc etc. BUT YOU PEOPLE LISTEN, PLEASE! I don't want to make anyone feel guilty! My attempts to trim the mailing list are just an effort to cut down expenses, and not to bother anyone who doesn't want it with Kteic Magazine. None of you are under an obligation to write. Please believe that. Just now and again, though, I'd like verbal or written proof that (1) you still want to get KM; (2) you are getting KM. That's all. Now on with George's letter. Thanks for sending the photos of Sharman. I'll try to have the picture finished in time to exhibit at the World Fantasy Con in LA this coming October. The photos course are beautiful... beautiful subject: (almost-) automatically beautiful photos. If I were to pick a fault at all, it would be that they are obviously publicity photos. And the only thing wrong with that is that it bothers me occasionally knowing that people will have the picture I used as referance material to compare with the finished painting. I make so many changes fox’ character or composition, that I'm always afraid people will point out every minute way in which the painting differs from the original photo and assume that it was be- .• cause I couldn’t do any better.

  • In 193X, Constance Rourke's Book American Humor Was Reviewed In
    OUR LIVELY ARTS: AMERICAN CULTURE AS THEATRICAL CULTURE, 1922-1931 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Jennifer Schlueter, M.A. ***** The Ohio State University 2007 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Thomas Postlewait, Adviser Professor Lesley Ferris Adviser Associate Professor Alan Woods Graduate Program in Theatre Copyright by Jennifer Schlueter c. 2007 ABSTRACT In the first decades of the twentieth century, critics like H.L. Mencken and Van Wyck Brooks vociferously expounded a deep and profound disenchantment with American art and culture. At a time when American popular entertainments were expanding exponentially, and at a time when European high modernism was in full flower, American culture appeared to these critics to be at best a quagmire of philistinism and at worst an oxymoron. Today there is still general agreement that American arts “came of age” or “arrived” in the 1920s, thanks in part to this flogging criticism, but also because of the powerful influence of European modernism. Yet, this assessment was not, at the time, unanimous, and its conclusions should not, I argue, be taken as foregone. In this dissertation, I present crucial case studies of Constance Rourke (1885-1941) and Gilbert Seldes (1893-1970), two astute but understudied cultural critics who saw the same popular culture denigrated by Brooks or Mencken as vibrant evidence of exactly the modern American culture they were seeking. In their writings of the 1920s and 1930s, Rourke and Seldes argued that our “lively arts” (Seldes’ formulation) of performance—vaudeville, minstrelsy, burlesque, jazz, radio, and film—contained both the roots of our own unique culture as well as the seeds of a burgeoning modernism.

  • To What Extent Has Digital Art Changed the Comic Book Industry? Jack Taylor
    To What Extent Has Digital Art Changed the Comic Book Industry? Jack Taylor Over time, artists have used a wide variety of techniques and styles to create comic books, they convey and explore the narrative they are illustrating. Traditional Art refers to artwork created using conventional resources and materials. This could include the use of paints, inks or coloured markers which can be found in Killing Girl (Image Comics, Toby Cypress, 2009). This style of comic book making strongly contrasts the style of Digital Art which allows the artist more freedom to create their work. Digital Art directly refers to artwork created using technology such as a tablet or computer, this style of digital art can be found in Justice League (DC Comics, Jorge Jimenez, 2018). Comic books were originally designed by the Japanese during the 18th century in the form of woodblock prints that were aimed at less-literate readers due to the illustrated narrative. These books focused on shorter narratives based around Japanese folk law and historical accounts, the books were created in the Kibyōshi genre which is well known for its influences on modern manga. The creator of the Kibyōshi genre was Koikawa Harumachi who developed ideas about Japanese picture books into a format aimed at everyone rather than just less-literate readers. Harumachi’s thoughts on illustrated narrative became “Master Flashgold's Splendiferous Dream” (Harumachi, 1775) which is regarded as one of the first true comic books. Despite creating this new art form, Harumachi received negative attention from the authorities and later died in 1789 to illness however many believe that Harumachi was ordered to commit suicide.
