Fox Features was one of the earliest comic-book publishers during the golden age of comics. Started by Victor Fox and Bob Farell in 1939, reportedly after Fox was working as an accountant for National Periodicals (DC Comics) and saw the sales figures for Action Comics #1. Fox initially hired the the Eisner-Iger studios to produce the creative content for their anthology books including: Mystery Men, Fantastic Comics and Wonderworld Comics. The latter of these titles was re-titled from Wonder Comics after National sued Fox for allegedly copying the Cover feature, Wonderman from Superman. Legendary comics creator Will Eisner, the creator of the character and his one and only (golden age) appearence, was called to testify. Eisner testified that Wonderman was an original creation but that Victor Fox had directly asked him to “Make him his own Superman” Fox lost the case and ceased publication of Wonderman. He also cut ties with the Iger-Eisner studio and hired another comics legend to edit and produce the companies creative work, Joe Simon.

The Linx National (DC) sued Victor Fox in late 1939, claiming that the character Wonderman was a direct copy of Superman. Wonderman’s creator, comics legend Will Eisner, testified that though the character was an original creation, Victor Fox had asked him to “make me my own Superman.” Hiring Joe Simon’s fledgling studio to provide content, Fox Features continued to build on the characters they had started the year before as the 1940s began. -
Graphic Evangelism 1
Running head: GRAPHIC EVANGELISM 1 Graphic Evangelism The Mainstream Graphic Novel for Christian Evangelism Mark Cupp A Senior Thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for graduation in the Honors Program Liberty University Spring 2013 GRAPHIC EVANGELISM 2 Acceptance of Senior Honors Thesis This Senior Honors Thesis is accepted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for graduation from the Honors Program of Liberty University. ______________________________ Edward Edman, MFA Thesis Chair ______________________________ Chris Gaumer, MFA Committee Member ______________________________ Ronald Sumner, MFA Committee Member ______________________________ Brenda Ayres, Ph.D. Honors Director ______________________________ Date GRAPHIC EVANGELISM 3 Abstract This thesis explores the use of mainstream graphic novels as a means of Christian evangelism. Though not exclusively Christian, the graphic novel, The Beast Within, will educate its target audience by using attractive illustrations, relatable issues, and understandable morals in a fictional, biblically inspired story. This thesis will include character designs, artwork, chapter summaries, and a single chapter of a self-written, self- illustrated graphic novel along with a short summary of Christian references and symbols. The novel will follow six half-human, half-animal warriors on their adventure to restore the balance of their world, which has been disrupted by a powerful enemy. GRAPHIC EVANGELISM 4 Graphic Evangelism The Mainstream Graphic Novel for Christian Evangelism Introduction As recorded in Matthew 28:16-20, all Christians are commanded by Christ to spread the Gospel to all corners of the earth. Many believers almost immediately equate evangelism to Sunday morning services, church mission trips, or distribution of witty, ever-popular salvation tracts; however, Jesus utilized other methods to teach His people, such as telling simple stories and using familiar images and illustrations. -
Why No Wonder Woman?
Why No Wonder Woman? A REPORT ON THE HISTORY OF WONDER WOMAN AND A CALL TO ACTION!! Created for Wonder Woman Fans Everywhere Introduction by Jacki Zehner with Report Written by Laura Moore April 15th, 2013 Wonder Woman - p. 2 April 15th, 2013 AN INTRODUCTION AND FRAMING “The destiny of the world is determined less by battles that are lost and won than by the stories it loves and believes in” – Harold Goddard. I believe in the story of Wonder Woman. I always have. Not the literal baby being made from clay story, but the metaphorical one. I believe in a story where a woman is the hero and not the victim. I believe in a story where a woman is strong and not weak. Where a woman can fall in love with a man, but she doesnʼt need a man. Where a woman can stand on her own two feet. And above all else, I believe in a story where a woman has superpowers that she uses to help others, and yes, I believe that a woman can help save the world. “Wonder Woman was created as a distinctly feminist role model whose mission was to bring the Amazon ideals of love, peace, and sexual equality to ʻa world torn by the hatred of men.ʼ”1 While the story of Wonder Woman began back in 1941, I did not discover her until much later, and my introduction didnʼt come at the hands of comic books. Instead, when I was a little girl I used to watch the television show starring Lynda Carter, and the animated television series, Super Friends. -
The Antihero in Popular Culture: Life History Theory and the Dark Triad Personality Traits
Review of General Psychology © 2012 American Psychological Association 2012, Vol. 16, No. 2, 192–199 1089-2680/12/$12.00 DOI: 10.1037/a0027914 The Antihero in Popular Culture: Life History Theory and the Dark Triad Personality Traits Peter K. Jonason Gregory D. Webster University of Western Sydney University of Florida David P. Schmitt Norman P. Li Bradley University Singapore Management University Laura Crysel University of Florida The Dark Triad of personality is composed of narcissism, psychopathy, and Machiavellianism. Despite the common belief that these traits are undesirable, the media is awash with characters that embody the Dark Triad. Characters like Gregory House, M.D., Batman (a.k.a. the Dark Knight), and James Bond all embody these traits and are some of the most popular media franchises today. As entertaining as these characters are, they provide us with a window into the dark side of human nature. Instead of treating the dark side of human nature as inherently maladaptive, we provide an alternative view that, despite their costs, traits like these can confer reproductive and survival benefits for the individual. In so doing, we review the research on the Dark Triad traits and provide a theoretical account for how these traits can confer some positive benefits. To facilitate comprehension, we provide examples taken from the media to show how evolutionary psychology and popular culture intersect. Keywords: Dark Triad, narcissism, Machiavellianism, psychopathy, Life History Theory The Dark Triad, composed of subclinical narcissism, psychopathy, Schmitt, 2009; Jonason, Valentine, Li, & Harbeson, 2011). Not and Machiavellianism, has become an increasingly popular constel- surprisingly, these traits have repeatedly been seen as part of the lation of traits (see Figure 1). -

STATIC, YET FLUCTUATING: THE EVOLUTION OF BATMAN AND HIS AUDIENCES by PERRY DUPRE DANTZLER Under the Direction of H. Calvin Thomas ABSTRACT The Batman media franchise (comics, movies, novels, television, and cartoons) is unique because no other form of written or visual texts has as many artists, audiences, and forms of expression. Understanding the various artists and audiences and what Batman means to them is to understand changing trends and thinking in American culture. The character of Batman has developed into a symbol with relevant characteristics that develop and evolve with each new story and new author. The Batman canon has become so large and contains so many different audiences that it has become a franchise that can morph to fit any group of viewers/readers. Our understanding of Batman and the many readings of him gives us insight into ourselves as a culture in our particular place in history. -

María José Álvarez Faedo VºBº: Oviedo, 2012 To comic book creators of yesterday, today and tomorrow. The comics medium is a very specialized area of the Arts, home to many rare and talented blooms and flowering imaginations and it breaks my heart to see so many of our best and brightest bowing down to the same market pressures which drive lowest-common-denominator blockbuster movies and television cop shows. Let's see if we can call time on this trend by demanding and creating big, wild comics which stretch our imaginations. Let's make living breathing, sprawling adventures filled with mind-blowing images of things unseen on Earth. Let's make artefacts that are not faux-games or movies but something other, something so rare and strange it might as well be a window into another universe because that's what it is.
