Fantasy doesn’t sell. Teenagers won’t buy books with pictures. This is what illustrator Chris Riddell and writer Paul Stewart were told in the 1990s. A million copies of the Edge chronicles later, they tell Ruth Prickett that their success rests on attention to detail – from architecture and economics to fashion and cartography In the beginning was a map. There aren’t many authors who would admit that their hugely successful series started with an illustration. But then there aren’t many partnerships that work like that of Chris Riddell and Paul Stewart, co-crea- tors of the phenomenally popular fantasy series the Edge chronicles. The story goes that in the mid-1990s Chris Rid- The dell, already a well-known children’s illustrator and newspaper cartoonist, came up with a map of the sur- real Edge world.

Stewart’s publisher, however, was more confident, and the Edge legends were born in 1998, the same year the second Harry Potter book was published, but before Harry Potter mania had every publisher reaching for his chequebook.

    Edmund Drury 1 On Other Worlds Edmund Drury WorldsOn Other An Investigation into Worldbuilding A Dissertation By Edmund Drury 2 3 On Other Worlds Edmund Drury Contents Introduction 7 Fictional Worlds in Real Place 12 Maps and Fiction 29 Translation 60 Conclusion 78 List of Illustrations 90 Bibliography 95 Printed and Bound by Edmund Drury 4 5 On Other Worlds Edmund Drury Introduction ‘Above all, worldbuilding is not technically necessary. It is the great clomping foot of nerdism. It is the attempt to exhaustively survey a place that isn’t there. A good writer would never try to do that, even with a place that is there. It isn’t possible, & if it was the results wouldn’t be readable: they would constitute not a book but the biggest library ever built, a hallowed place of dedication & lifelong study. This gives us a clue to the psychological type of the worldbuilder & the worldbuilder’s victim, & makes us very afraid.’ (Harrison, 2007) So is worldbuilding just boring nerdism? Certainly not all aspects of worldbuilding appeal to everyone. According to many it was the lengthy detail of trade disputes and politics that made the new Star Wars trilogy such a disaster, and certain passages in Lord of the Rings, one of the key texts in fantasy worldbuilding, are not always the easiest to read. Of course M. John Harrison cannot be totally averse to worldbuilding (his best known work is set in the fi ctional city of Viriconium) but he believes that focusing on it as an activity in its own right risks putting the creative emphasis in the wrong place.

  • Since I Began Reading the Work of Steve Ditko I Wanted to Have a Checklist So I Could Catalogue the Books I Had Read but Most Im
    Since I began reading the work of Steve Ditko I wanted to have a checklist so I could catalogue the books I had read but most importantly see what other original works by the illustrator I can find and enjoy. With the help of Brian Franczak’s vast Steve Ditko compendium, Ditko-fever.com, I compiled the following check-list that could be shared, printed, built-on and probably corrected so that the fan’s, whom his work means the most, can have a simple quick reference where they can quickly build their reading list and knowledge of the artist. It has deliberately been simplified with no cover art and information to the contents of the issue. It was my intension with this check-list to be used in accompaniment with ditko-fever.com so more information on each publication can be sought when needed or if you get curious! The checklist only contains the issues where original art is first seen and printed. No reprints, no messing about. All issues in the check-list are original and contain original Steve Ditko illustrations! Although Steve Ditko did many interviews and responded in letters to many fanzines these were not included because the checklist is on the art (or illustration) of Steve Ditko not his responses to it. I hope you get some use out of this check-list! If you think I have missed anything out, made an error, or should consider adding something visit then email me at ditkocultist.com One more thing… share this, and spread the art of Steve Ditko! Regards, R.S.

    1 Bone Version 2.4 By Cataquack Warrior Welcome to the Valley, traveler. You’re out of the desert, at least, but you’d best be wary. This place may be peaceful right now, but there’s trouble looming. The shadows are baring their teeth, and forgotten myths dream of revenge. And soon there will be an epic story like no other. You’re starting two years before the Bone cousins pass through these parts, and the world may end before your ten years are up. You have 1000 CP to start out with. So get ready, and welcome aboard, Ishmael; the adventure has already begun. Now, awaken! 2 Location All right, here’s a map of the area for you to use. …What? I never said it was a good map. Roll a 1d8 or pay 50 CP to determine your starting location. 1. Waterfall- A large waterfall found at the far north of the valley. Careful, it’s a long way down if you fall! 2. Grandma Ben’s Farm- A humble farm when Grandma Ben and her granddaughter Thorn live peacefully. You should be able to get assistance here, as long as you don’t insult Grandma Ben’s cows. 3 3. Barrelhaven- A small, rustic village that is slightly distrustful of foreigners. Still, there’s plenty of farm goods and beer to be had, assuming you have the right things to pay with. 4. Dragon’s Stair- The fabled entrance to Deren Gard, the home of the dragons. Of course, dragons are just make-believe, right? 5.

  • USING GRAPHIC NOVELS with CHILDREN and TEENS a Guide for Teachers and Librarians Using Graphic Novels with Children and Teens a Guide for Teachers and Librarians
    USING GRAPHIC NOVELS WITH CHILDREN AND TEENS A Guide for Teachers and Librarians USING Graphic NOVELS with CHILDREN AND TEENS A Guide for Teachers and Librarians Graphic NOVELS ARE hot! No longer an underground movement appealing to a small following of enthusiasts, graphic novels have emerged as a growing segment of book publishing, and have become accepted by librarians and educators as mainstream literature for children and young adults­­ literature that powerfully motivates kids to read. Are graphic novels for you? Should you be taking a more serious look at this format? How might graphic novels fit into your library collection, your curriculum, and your classroom? Want to know more? If so, this guide is for you. Art © 2010 Jeff Smith 2 What are graphic novels? In this context, the word “graphic” does not mean “adult” or “explicit.” Graphic novels are books written and illustrated in the style of a comic book. The term graphic novel was first popularized by Will Eisner to distinguish his book A Contract with God (1978) from collections of newspaper comic strips. He described graphic novels as consisting of “sequential art”—a series of illustrations which, when viewed in order, tell a story. Although today’s graphic novels are a recent phenomenon, this basic way of storytelling has been used in various forms for centuries—early cave drawings, hieroglyphics, and medieval tapestries like the famous Bayeux Tapestry can be thought of as stories told in pictures. The term graphic novel is now generally used to describe any book in a comic format that resembles a novel in length and narrative development.

Neal Adams was robbed of a briefcase on the subway recently. The briefcase contained a great deal of art in various stages, including breakdowns and finished art for Marvel and DC and a model for the ACBA membership card., Adams has frequently been late getting his work in and this has caused him to miss several already-extended deadlines. He may lose several jobs as a result. Green Lantern/Green Arrow 87 will be all reprint as a result. Gil Kane will do an origin issue of Ka-Zar and then John Buscema will take over. There apparently will be at least 4 Blackmark books by Gil Kane from Bantam, vzith the first one due to be reissued with a new cover.
