Following Pierre Bourdieu’s notion of authorial autonomy within the fields of cultural production, I trace the outside influence that nonauthorial agents infuse into the narrative production of the serialized. To further delve into the economic factors and media standards that encompass serial publishing, I incorporate David Hesmondhalgh’s study of market forces, originally used to supplement Bourdieu’s analysis of fields.

I do not discourage the redistribution of this guide, but do ask the following: 1) No monetary charge is to be made (as if anybody would pay money for this anyway.) It would be wrong to make money off of Sim's work (not to mention mine!) 2) All materials remain intact, including my name and this introductory material. _ ----------- _____| |_______________________ by: David R. CEREBUS REX (_____ _______________________ > Sanderson ----------- |_| Background: Cerebus started as the mascot for an ill-fated fanzine that Deni Loubert was trying to have published. The fanzine died at the press due to some alleged crooked business dealings by the printer. Deni and Dave Sim, Cerebus' creator, decided to try again. This time with a comic starring their cute fanzine mascot. They started a publishing firm called Aardvark-Vanaheim, the two names suggested by Deni's siblings. Dave was made President (and entire creative team), and Deni became publisher. The comic was to be called Cerberus the Aardvark, but Deni made a spelling error along the way. So we now have Cerebus the Aardvark. Some mistakes are for the best I think. Cerebus has grown into a well respected book with healthy sales, for an independent. It's sales peaked during the B&W explosion several years ago.

  • Identity and Form in Alternative Comics, 1967 – 2007
    IDENTITY AND FORM IN ALTERNATIVE COMICS, 1967 – 2007 Emma Tinker UCL 2008 1 I, Emma Tinker, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. 2 ABSTRACT Identity and Form in Alternative Comics, 1967 – 2007 In the late 1960s, underground cartoonists established the comic book form as a space for the exploration of personal identity. “Alternative” comics grew out of this tradition as subsequent writers produced work independently of the major comics publishers, aimed at an adult audience and encompassing a broad range of visual styles and narrative content. Throughout the past forty years, British, US and Canadian writers and artists have used this medium to explore questions of selfhood and perception, often implicitly or overtly relating these issues to the form, history and conventions of the comic book itself. Two main threads run through this discussion of the representation of selfhood: childhood and memory on the one hand and sexuality and gender on the other. This thesis argues that for many creators there exists a useful analogy between the comic book form and mental processes, specifically between the fractured, verbal-visual blend of the comics page and the organisation of human memory. It further suggests that the historical association of comics first with childhood, and subsequently with male adolescence, has conditioned the representation of selfhood in adult comics. Comic book consumption has often centred on a community of predominantly young, white, male, socially marginal readers, buying and collecting serialised narratives.

  • Comics and Literature: a Love Story
    Comics and Literature: A Love Story by Robert Hutton A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2017 Robert Hutton Abstract This dissertation investigates the conjunction of comics, literature, prestige, and narratives of development and deviance. Drawing on case studies from the forty-year history of alternative comics, I argue that comics creators and publishers referenced literary figures and characters as a means of developing their ideas of artistic autonomy and development. This tangle of ideas stems from the suspicion and censorship of comics in the 1950s, when the young medium was accused of promoting deviance and maladjustment. Early figures in alternative comics such as Harvey Pekar, Dave Sim, and the critics of The Comics Journal fought this idea by drawing on the prestige of literature to present a vision of comics that adhered to conventional ideas of autonomous elite culture. In doing so, these writers sought to create a new form of comic that could help the medium and its readers out of the maladjustment it found itself in.
