  • The Graphic Novel, a Special Type of Comics
    Cambridge University Press 978-1-107-02523-3 - The Graphic Novel: An Introduction Jan Baetens and Hugo Frey Excerpt More information Introduction: The Graphic Novel, 1 a Special Type of Comics Is there really something like the graphic novel? For good or ill, there are famous quotations that are frequently repeated when discussing the graphic novel. They are valued because they come from two of the key protagonists whose works from the mid-1980s were so infl uential in the concept gaining in popularity: Art Spiegelman, the creator of Maus , and Alan Moore, the scriptwriter of Watchmen . Both are negative about the neologism that was being employed to describe the longer-length and adult-themed comics with which they were increas- ingly associated, although their roots were with underground comix in the United States and United Kingdom, respectively. Spiegelman’s remarks were fi rst published in Print magazine in 1988, and it was here that he suggested that “graphic novel” was an unhelpful term: The latest wrinkle in the comic book’s evolution has been the so-called “graphic novel.” In 1986, Frank Miller’s Batman: The Dark Knight Returns , a full-length trade paperback detailing the adventures of the superhero as a violent, aging vigilante, and my own MAUS, A Survivor’s Tale both met with com- mercial success in bookstores. They were dubbed graphic novels in a bid for social acceptability (Personally, I always thought Nathaniel West’s The 1 © in this web service Cambridge University Press www.cambridge.org Cambridge University Press 978-1-107-02523-3 - The Graphic Novel: An Introduction Jan Baetens and Hugo Frey Excerpt More information 2 The Graphic Novel: An Introduction Day of the Locust was an extraordinarily graphic novel, and that what I did was .

  • Tolkien Fandom Review 1964
    Tolkien Fandom Review from its beginnings to 1964 by Sumner Gary Hunnewell (Hildifons Took) 2010 Second Edition (August 2010) First Edition (June 2010) 50 copies © 2010, The New England Tolkien Society Sumner Gary Hunnewell (Hildifons Took) 2030 San Pedro Dr., Arnold, Missouri 63010 U.S.A. A Short Overview of Tolkien Fandom up to 1964 Although serious admirers and fans of Tolkien existed soon after the publication of The Fellowship of the Ring*, an organized Tolkien fandom as “The Fellowship of the Ring” sprung forth in a 49-minute meeting during the Pittsburgh Worldcon on September 4, 1960. A group of dedicated Los Angeles science fiction fans had been kicking around the idea of a Tolkien only club as early as 1959. As Ken Cheslin, the British agent of The Fellowship of the Ring, aptly put it “I would say that the Tolkein [sic] society [meaning The Fellowship of the Ring] wasn’t an offshoot…it consisted of fans who regarded JRR as, I think, a little something extra, a little area of interest IN ADDITTION [sic] to the then fandom, not an alternative or a replacement, substitute, etc.” The first controversy was what to call the group as some thought The Fellowship of the Ring was a bit ostentatious. Moreover, of course, there were rules. The people who formed the club would allow ‘Counsels’ created if there were five or more members in an area. Those people who provided accepted research papers would become members. Non-members could purchase the magazine. Although there was enthusiasm by Ted Johnstone (editor) and Bruce Pelz (publisher) of the group’s fanzine, I Palantir, for this level of scholarship and membership, no councils formed.
