Start your review of Unknown Soldier, Vol. Nov 24, Jeff Lanter rated it it was amazing Shelves: graphic-novels. This is easily one of the best graphic novels I've read. It was great to finally get the background on who Moses Lwanga was and how he became The Unknown Soldier. I don't want to spoil the ending, but it is the perfect tone for this book and for real life. Unknown Soldier: Beautiful World Vol 4 satisfying and This is easily one of the best graphic novels I've read. Completely satisfying and very moving. The art was always wonderful in this book as well. This series gets my highest recommendation. It is a shame that more people including myself didn't read Unknown Soldier as it was coming out. I think we may have gotten even more Unknown Soldier if that was the case. View 1 comment. Nov 22, Zedsdead rated it it was Unknown Soldier: Beautiful World Vol 4 Shelves: graphic-novels. Warning: unabashed gushing ahead. A terrific conclusion to the Unknown Soldier Unknown Soldier: Beautiful World Vol 4. Volume 4 covers a lot of ground, beginning with a thoughtful history about the proliferation of AK assault rifles in Africa. Then, at long last, we get to the origin story of Dr. Moses Lwanga, the Unknown Soldier--and it works. It's a beautiful ending, the right ending, to an excellent series. So many great series are Warning: unabashed gushing ahead. So many great series are undone by weak conclusions. Not this time. Everything about this series was so intelligently done. Easy 5 stars. I'll be looking for more Joshua Dysart titles. Apr 28, David rated it really liked it Shelves: fiction-myth-historical-fantasy-f. I was particularly pleased with this series, especially because it focuses on a delicate political and cultural situation- the war in Uganda, which has migrated now to the Congo and the Sudan. Where children are forced to be soldiers as a matter of daily fact, and whole peoples are marched about from camp to camp to seek refuge from the attacks from any and all sides, with little help from any government. All in the name of various religous groups christianity in the case of Uganda and the Cong I was particularly pleased with this series, especially because it focuses on a delicate political and cultural situation- the war in Uganda, which has migrated now to the Congo and the Sudan. All in the name of various religous groups christianity in the case of Uganda and the Congo, though Islam is making a push in the Sudan now, that is not discussed in these volumes, which focus on Uganda Very nicely done- but the violence might put some folks off, so be forwarned. Great conclusion to this series, on which I had doubts when reading vol. The Unknown Soldier: Beautiful World Vol 4 violence disturbed me at first but with time it gets digested in the chaos of bloody ethnic rivalries, malnutrition, child indoctrination, rape, corruption and the list goes on that plagued Uganda for years. Dysart rather cleverly links Moses to the original unknown soldier in a context of modern warfare and blurs his purpose: if to do a seemingly good thing, killing Joseph Kony, your death toll tends to matc Great conclusion to this series, on which I had doubts when reading vol. Dysart rather cleverly links Moses to the original unknown soldier in a context of modern warfare and blurs his purpose: if to do a seemingly good thing, killing Joseph Kony, your death toll tends to match his, is it still a good thing? Is violence the only means to an end, that end being peace? Sobering, emotionally difficult, politically challenging, a very good series typical of the Vertigo heyday. Too bad I just couldn't make myself like any of the artists involved but the great Dave Johnson on covers. Jun 19, Nnedi rated it it was amazing. May 29, Joey Heflich rated it really liked it. Stuck the landing, despite coming down Unknown Soldier: Beautiful World Vol 4. If that AK story was what we might have seen more of if this series went for 60 issues, damn. Joseph Kony should not have outlived this book. Jun 21, Sonic rated it it was amazing. An amazing "ending" to one of the absolute very best recent series. Jul 31, Friz Allen rated it really liked it.

And the story Unknown Soldier: Beautiful World Vol 4 wow. We get a connection to DC's original Unknown Soldier from WWIIand a complete re-imagining of Moses Lwanga and what he's been doing since this series started -- and it all makes sense. The ending was wonderful -- tragic and appropriate. It's amazing this series lasted as long as it did; it's great, but so unlike anything else in comics at the time. I'd highly recommend Unknown Soldier: Beautiful World Vol 4 entire series. Nov 01, Alex Sarll added it. Another Vertigo series reaches its premature end; ones I borrow often seem to make four volumes iZombie and American Virgin being two more exampleswhere those I buy are lucky to manage three Greek StreetCrossing Midnight - poor Saucer Country only managed two.

Dec 06, Brian rated it it was amazing. Another wonderful Vertigo series ended way too soon. I don't Unknown Soldier: Beautiful World Vol 4 remember what happened in the first couple of books, although I do remember being a bit uncomfortable reading a war book set in Uganda written by a white American that covered child soldiers, savage warlords and lots of other things about Africa that I really don't know much about. The first chapter starts with a history of the AK and then it goes on to tell the final story of Moses Lwanga. I was sad to him go so soon. Aug 01, Aaron rated it really liked it.

  • Vertigo and the Auteur Figure
    Ambiguous Authorities: Vertigo and the Auteur Figure ISABELLE LICARI-GUILLAUME Abstract: This article examines authorial performance in the context of DC’s Vertigo line. In the 1990s, Vertigo gained its reputation as an innovative and progressive imprint by promoting the work of British scriptwriters, who were hailed as true author figures, despite the inherently collaborative nature of the mainstream comics industry. In a manner reminiscent of “auteur theory”, writers such as Neil Gaiman, Warren Ellis or Grant Morrison developed attractive authorial personae which they consistently displayed through interviews, letter columns or social media, but also, more importantly, by inserting their avatars within the comics they scripted. Upon closer examination, however, it becomes clear that their work in fact simultaneously asserts and destabilizes writerly authority, in a manner that is consistent with Linda Hutcheon’s view of postmodernity. By multiplying author figures and playfully disseminating authority, Vertigo authors question their own authorial control over the text, asserting instead the crucial role played by the reader. Bio: Isabelle Licari-Guillaume is a Teaching and Research Assistant at the Department of English at Université Bordeaux Montaigne, France. She specializes in contemporary comics studies and has recently defended her PhD, which examined the British Invasion of American comics, its aeshetic evolution over time, and its influence on the editorial history of DC's Vertigo imprint. Her other fields of interest include translation and gender studies, on which she has written several articles. In 2015, she edited a collection of essays on the body in comics (Les Langages du corps dans la bande dessinée, l'Harmattan) and is currently editing another volume, Translators of Comics / Les Traducteurs de bande dessinée.

    THE LIFE AND WORKS OF GEORGE LIPPARD DISSERTATION Presented In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Emilio De Grazia, B.A., M.A, The Ohio State University 1969 Approved by n ivU / ■ AaviserAdviser Department of English ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I wish to express thanks to some of the people who have made this study possible. First, I greatly appreciate the efforts of the staffs of the Interlibrary Loan Service of the Ohio State University Library, the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, and the Library Company of Phila­ delphia. For her care and efficiency I also want to thank Sharon Fulkerson. A number of friends and teachers are greatly responsible for whatever virtues this study may have. Thai'iks first to Professor Keith Fenimore of Albion (Michigan) College, who suggested the subject, contributed notes, and made me read many American novels; to Professor Charles Held, also of Albion, a teacher and friend who first taught me to value books; to Professor John Muste, of the Ohio State University, for sharing his time and Insights; and, of course, to Professor Julian Markels, for providing careful and Just criticism, for giving often needed encouragement, and for teaching me new ways of seeing things.
