  • The Comic Book and the Korean War
    ADVANCINGIN ANOTHERDIRECTION The Comic Book and the Korean War "JUNE,1950! THE INCENDIARY SPARK OF WAR IS- GLOWING IN KOREA! AGAIN AS BEFORE, MEN ARE HUNTING MEN.. .BIAXlNG EACH OTHER TO BITS . COMMITTING WHOLESALE MURDER! THIS, THEN, IS A STORY OF MAN'S INHUMANITY TO MAN! THIS IS A WAR STORY!" th the January-February 1951 issue of E-C Comic's Two- wFisted Tales, the comic book, as it had for WWII five years earlier, followed the United States into the war in Korea. Soon other comic book lines joined E-C in presenting aspects of the new war in Korea. Comic books remain an underutilized popular culture resource in the study of war and yet they provide a very rich part of the tapestry of war and cultural representation. The Korean War comics are also important for their location in the history of the comic book industry. After WWII, the comic industry expanded rapidly, and by the late 1940s comic books entered a boom period with more adults reading comics than ever before. The period between 1935 and 1955 has been characterized as the "Golden Age" of the comic book with over 650 comic book titles appearing monthly during the peak years of popularity in 1953 and 1954 (Nye 239-40). By the late forties, many comics directed the focus away from a primary audience of juveniles and young adolescents to address volatile adult issues in the postwar years, including juvenile delinquency, changing family dynamics, and human sexuality. The emphasis shifted during this period from super heroes like "Superman" to so-called realistic comics that included a great deal of gore, violence, and more "adult" situations.

  • An Interview with Jim Shaw’ 13 February 2012
    The Comics Journal D. Nadel, ‘Collective Vision: An Interview with Jim Shaw’ 13 February 2012 Collective Vision: An Interview with Jim Shaw BY Dan Nadel Book cover (My Mirage Logo IV, 1987) Last fall Jim Shaw published My Mirage (JRP|Ringier, 216 pages, $55.00), a hybrid visual book somewhere between a visual novel, a monograph and a work of omnivorous visual criticism. It collects almost 170 works of art executed between 1986 and 1991 in nearly every medium imaginable. It is an astounding book, perfectly produced, and one that ought to be poured over in comics and art circles for its conceptual and visual ingenuity, emotional heft, and the histories embedded within it. Over the years the My Mirage pieces have been exhibited as a whole only twice, and otherwise it’s been subdivided into smaller groupings hung in galleries and museums. The prints, photos, videos, paintings, drawings and sculptures that comprise My Mirage are each that rare thing: objects that work in space and as part of a book-length narrative. My Mirage (the book and works) is the story of Billy, a kind of zelig of visual culture, who lives out his life through the prism of the culture around him, and manifests each phase of his life, almost like a cultural symptom, through complex reimaginings of artists including Ed Ruscha, De Chirico, R. Crumb, Basil Wolverton, Jess, Jack Chick, Hieronymous Bosch and many, many others. Billy begins as a repressed boy of the 1950s and grows into and out of hippiedom, 1970s decadence, paganism, and fundamentalist Christianity.

  • Many Years Ago Al Jaffee Came in with a Piece That Used
    I Ma ha! wa anI thE SUI thl ilf "Many years ago Al Jaffee n C came in with a piece that h' used the word 'schmuck: and there was a big debate about whether the magazine should include that word. Today it would be nothing. rr 072 Desmond Devlin, who has contributed to Mad since 1984, agrees. "Culturally, Mad's impact has been immense, especially back when it was the foremost one-stop source of mockery and criticism;' he says."Mad synthesized the nagging doubts that millions of Americans had about their society, and it demonstrated that iconoclasm would sell to a mass audience. Readers had their suspicions confirmed, and were introduced to new suspicions. "It isn't as if presidents had never betrayed their oaths before, and it isn't as if advertising suddenly got amoral in 1955;' Devlin adds. "But the package Mad has put out, and the attitude it promoted, has long since become a norm:' Mad entered this world in 1952 as a comic book. conceived, written and edited by Harvey Kurtzman and published by ECComics. The first few issues of Mad satirized the era's most popular comic books and comic strips, then Kurtzman started expanding his focus to include other aspects of popular culture, such as supermarkets, restaurant dining, motion pictures and television. Kurtzman delighted in experimenting with style and design, especially on Mad's covers. The cover for issue 19, for example, looks just like a horse-racing form, while the cover of issue 20 is an exact replica of a black composition notebook.

  • EARLY REPRESENTATIONS of CONCENTRATION CAMPS in GOLDEN AGE COMIC BOOKS: GRAPHIC NARRATIVES, AMERICAN SOCIETY, and the HOLOCAUST by Markus Streb
    EARLY REPRESENTATIONS OF CONCENTRATION CAMPS IN GOLDEN AGE COMIC BOOKS: GRAPHIC NARRATIVES, AMERICAN SOCIETY, AND THE HOLOCAUST by Markus Streb SCANDINAVIAN JOURNAL OF COMIC ART (SJOCA) VOL. 3: 1 (FALL 2016) INTRODUCTION The Golden Age of American comic books, lasting roughly from 1938 until 1955, is not only notable for the emergence of superheroes, but also for its confrontation with the USA’s ideological enemies. As the Nazis rose to power in Germany and the extent of their terror became known, they frequently appeared in comic books in the later 1930s. By the 1940s German concentration camps found their way into comic books as well: there are more than three dozen Golden Age comic books from between 1940 and 1955 that explicitly depict concentration camps. Although the visual language of some covers of superhero comics, the largest genre at the time, hints at German atrocities committed in concentration camps, however, the camps themselves play a role in only a few stories. Camp depictions can be found mostly in horror, war, and adventure stories, genres that were on the rise in the early 1950s. Whereas 1955’s masterpiece “Master Race” by Al Feldstein and Bernard “Bernie” Krigstein is most commonly referred to as the first US comic depicting Nazi atrocities, it will be the most recent of the works examined in this article. Apart from a few isolated publications that attempt an overview,1 the depiction of concentration camps in early comic books has mainly been discussed in internet forums or blogs. One outstanding exception is the second chapter of Comics, the Holocaust and Hiroshima, published in 2015 by comics scholars Jane L.

The Comics Journal, October 25, 2013. Version of record available at: http:// www.tcj.com/my-friend-dave/ My Friend Dave | The Comics Journal Blog Features Columns Reviews Listings TCJ Archive ← Modern Thinking Morning Becomes Renee → The Spain Interview In this two-part interview, Gary Groth talks to Spain about Catholicism, working in a factory, rebelling against Monsters Eat Critics authority, teaching, the underground comix movement and Zap, and Nightmare Alley. Continue reading → My Friend Dave BY CRAIG FISCHER OCT 25, 2013 Alphabet In his book The Avant-Garde Finds Andy Hardy (1995), Robert Ray argues that film studies has fallen into a rut where most writing follows “the routinized procedures of any academic field,” and where the typical title for a publication or conference presentation is “Barthes, Brecht, Bakhtin, Baudrillard, and all those other people, and Robocop” (5). Ray then suggests that we rouse film studies out of stagnation by abandoning traditional scholarship, at least for a while, in favor of playing surrealistic games with our subject. Movies surprise, infuriate, delight us: unconventional forms of criticism might do the same. One of Ray’s games involves the alphabet. Borrowing a method from Roland Barthes’ eponymous biography, Ray suggests writing criticism in a series of short, “alphabetized fragments, including at least one for every letter” (120). These “alphabetized fragments” can be epigrams (à la Nietzsche), metaphors, anecdotes, lyrical descriptions, short bursts of analysis: what they won’t be is a predictable elaboration of an over-determined thesis.
