  • 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.

  • Exploiting Intellectual Property Assets: Overview of Licensing, Franchising and Merchandising
    Exploiting Intellectual Property Assets: Overview of Licensing, Franchising and Merchandising Training of the Trainers Program on Effective Intellectual Property Asset Management by Small and Medium Sized Enterprises (SMEs) WIPO & IPOM, Mongolia Ulaanbaatar, October 8 to 10, 2013 Susanna H.S. LEONG Associate Professor & Vice Dean NUS Business School, National University of Singapore Commercial exploitation of a trade mark • Commercial exploitation of a trade mark generally takes the form of either an assignment or a licence of the mark by the trade mark proprietor. • These two forms of commercial exploitation may appear similar at times but they are in fact quite distinct. • Simply put, an assignment of a trade mark involves an outright sale under which there is a one-off transfer of the personal property in the trade mark to the new owner. • Thereafter, the original trade mark proprietor (the assignor) ceases to have any rights over the trade mark. • In contrast, a licence of a trade mark involves only a granting of a limited right to use the mark (duration of use and geographical restrictions) by the trade mark proprietor to a particular person or persons. Assignment of a Trade Mark • A registered trade mark is assignable and transmissible in the same way as other personal or movable property, and is so assignable or transmissible either in connection with the goodwill of a business or independently. • An assignment of a registered trade mark is essentially a contract under which property rights in the trade mark are transferred from the trade mark proprietor (assignor) to the new owner (assignee) and contract law applies to issues such as formation of contract, terms and conditions, discharge of contractual obligations and remedies for breach.

    INVINCIBLE: STILL STANDING V. 12 PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Ryan Ottley,Fco Plascencia,Robert Kirkman | 168 pages | 30 Jul 2010 | Image Comics | 9781607061663 | English | Fullerton, United States Invincible: Still Standing v. 12 PDF Book Feb 17, Dr Rashmit Mishra rated it it was amazing Shelves: comics-graphic-novel. Preview — Invincible, Vol. Actually, Papale didn't meet Janet until , fifteen years after he played his first season for the Eagles. Rising all-rounder Cameron Green scores another century, as Tim Paine tons up too. Luckily, he was sensed by the Thunder Essence hidden in the cliffs, and he thus obtained the precious Thunder Essence Seed. The artwork is amazing. But why was this such a genius move? Tottenham Arsenal Related Articles. Harvey finished his Test career with 6, runs at an average of Metacritic Reviews. You might want to see what online services your local library offers! The best one so far. Papale must have had a lot of raw talent to play pro football without any real coaching or college pedigree. It always makes for an entertaining conversation in our house. The epic- ness shines off every page, and this is definitely a time to appreciate the intricate and often gory detail that Ottley includes in his illustrations. On the other hand, and this might be an unpopular opinion, but a certain villain still being alive feels like a cop-out for Mark's character development even if he appears to learn his lesson later. I still can't like this girl Even though the first big confrontation was full of jumps and at times there were panels from others battle scenes that can feel to others like they're shoved in there, I personally enjoyed how these days of battles were presented.

The purpose of this research is to adapt the approaches used by prominent and influential writers and artists in the American superhero/action comic-book field to create an engaging Australian hero comic book. Further, the aim of this thesis is to bridge the gap between the lack of academic writing on the professional practice of the Australian comic industry. In order to achieve this, I explored and learned the methods these prominent and professional US writers and artists use. Compared to the American industry, the creating of comic books in Australia has rarely been documented, particularly in a formal capacity or from a contemporary perspective. The process I used was to navigate through the research and studio practice from the perspective of a solo artist with an interest to learn, and to develop into an artist with a firmer understanding of not only the medium being engaged, but the context in which the medium is being created.

    ‘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.

  • International Festival of Comics, Animation, Cinema, and Games
    INTERNATIONAL FESTIVAL OF COMICS, ANIMATION, CINEMA, AND GAMES Ryan Ottley XXV Edition Golden Romics In recognition of the great artist behind The Amazing Spider-Man and Invincible and a career dedicated to superheroes Ryan Ottley, artist of the superhero series Invincible, created by Robert Kirkman and Cory Walker, and The Amazing Spider-Man, will be awarded the Golden Romics in the next edition of Romics (April 4 – 7). This will be a unique opportunity to meet such a great international figure and celebrate his concluding volume of Invincible, which will bring the monthly edition to a close in January 2020. The final chapter of the saga will be celebrated with the variant edition of monthly issue 64 of Invincible, presented exclusively at Romics and dedicated to his presence in Rome. Ryan Ottley is one of the most important comic book artists of contemporary American comics. He is best known for his work on Invincible and, most recently, The Amazing Spider-Man. Enthralled at the age of 15 by an issue of Amazing Spiderman (drawn by Todd McFarland) that his cousin Bryan had given him, Ryan Ottley immediately realized that this was the path he wanted to follow. After debuting as an artist (and co-creator) of the web-strip Bicycle Delivery Boy, he met Robert Kirkman, creator of the cult saga The Walking Dead. Ottley then went on to draw the first five issues of Haunt – a superhero series by Image Comics, created by Kirkman and Todd McFarlane – and then moved on to drawing for the regular Invincible series. From that moment on, Ottley’s life was changed and he established his name as one of the most interesting players in American comics.

RATHBURN SPENCER SPENCER MARTIN LGY#803 OTTLEY 2 Years ago as a high school student, PETER PARKER was bitten by a radioactive spider and gained the proportional speed, strength and agility of a SPIDER, adhesive fingertips and toes, and the unique precognitive awareness of danger called “SPIDER-SENSE”! After the tragic death of his Uncle Ben, Peter understood that with great power there must also come great responsibility. He became the crimefighting super hero called… BACK TO BASICS Part Two Spinning webs of various sizes, catching thieves like so many flies…es--it’s all S.O.P. in your friendly neighborhood! Well, Peter Parker’s neighborhood could stand to be friendlier--he’s paycheck-to- paycheck again, which means an apartment with roommates. Speaking of paychecks, Pete needs to find a new way to get them--his professional neighborhood just turned hostile. Plagiarism-detecting software found his doctoral dissertation was written by Otto Octavius (who had stolen Pete’s body at the time--we’ve all been there, right?), so his degree was revoked and he was fired from the Daily Bugle. He has the chance to make up the work at Empire State University, but there are strings attached. So--neighborhood of dubious friendliness.
