  • Tove Jansson's Character Studies for the Moomin
    INTRODUCTION by Tom Devlin, Creative Director at Drawn & Quarterly In 2011, I went to Helsinki and was lucky enough to tour Tove Jansson’s studio. She lived in the same large studio for fifty-seven years. It was easy to picture Tove there. I saw the table she used to write at; I saw the wood-burning stove she used to heat her house during the long winters; I saw the shelves and shelves of books—many her own, or her favorites by other authors, and even the hand-lettered scrapbooks her mother, Signe, made where she stored the strips she clipped from the newspaper. I saw the tiny alcove with the even tinier bed she had slept in for years. It was surprising how modest the whole place was. As far as I knew she was Finland’s greatest literary celebrity, and yet she had lived such a simple life. Of course, I should have known this before I stepped over the threshold. It’s in her books. It’s visually manifest in her comics. The Moomins them- selves live modest lives. They have many adventures but home is simple and comforting and there is nothing unnecessary. Rereading these comics just before preparing this book, it struck me just how much of Tove we get in these stories. The Moomin stories (whether in chapter book, picture book, or comic form) all have a similar quality—a quality that is rare in today’s world. There’s a distinctly carefree, individualist vibe mixed with a hint of playful cynicism, a kind of embrace-life-and-live-it-to-its- fullest-but-maybe-don’t-get-too-carried-away ethos.

  • Comics Were Also Constant Companions for Dylan
    StartingStarting outout ReadingR di was big bi in i Dylan’s D l ’ childhood, hildh d especially i ll fantasy f t novels. l AlAlong with ith TheTh Lord L d of f the Rings, he gobbled up stories by Alan Garner and Susan Cooper. These British writers specialised in Dylan’s favourite kind of story: where the fantastic – the magical – enters the real world and changes it, sometimes in alarming ways. As a teenager, “when life was more complicated,” Dylan escaped by reading the kinds of books we usually associate with younger readers, things like Paddington Bear and Winnie the Pooh (Dylan identified with Piglet). Comics were also constant companions for Dylan. In fact, the entire Horrocks family loved them, which was unusual in the 1960s and 70s. This was a time when many parents (and teachers and librarians) frowned on comics because they weren’t “proper” books. But Dylan’s dad, Roger, had once thought about being a comic book artist himself. He brought home a steady supply of them, in all their different forms. There were British war comics, the Asterix and Tintin series, American underground comix*, and the French comic magazine Pilote. Dylan has been drawing cartoons and comics ever since he could hold a pencil. He always knew that he would be a comic book artist. He had natural talent as well as great determination and filled endless notebooks with his work – war stories, mostly. He also manoeuvred cartoons into every possible school project. “I was drawing all When I visited Dylan, he was about to go to Europe to promote his latest the time,” Dylan remembers.

  • Writing About Comics
    NACAE National Association of Comics Art Educators English 100-v: Writing about Comics From the wild assertions of Unbreakable and the sudden popularity of films adapted from comics (not just Spider-Man or Daredevil, but Ghost World and From Hell), to the abrupt appearance of Dan Clowes and Art Spiegelman all over The New Yorker, interesting claims are now being made about the value of comics and comic books. Are they the visible articulation of some unconscious knowledge or desire -- No, probably not. Are they the new literature of the twenty-first century -- Possibly, possibly... This course offers a reading survey of the best comics of the past twenty years (sometimes called “graphic novels”), and supplies the skills for reading comics critically in terms not only of what they say (which is easy) but of how they say it (which takes some thinking). More importantly than the fact that comics will be touching off all of our conversations, however, this is a course in writing critically: in building an argument, in gathering and organizing literary evidence, and in capturing and retaining the reader's interest (and your own). Don't assume this will be easy, just because we're reading comics. We'll be working hard this semester, doing a lot of reading and plenty of writing. The good news is that it should all be interesting. The texts are all really good books, though you may find you don't like them all equally well. The essays, too, will be guided by your own interest in the texts, and by the end of the course you'll be exploring the unmapped territory of literary comics on your own, following your own nose.

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.

  • A HISTORY of NEW ZEALAND SCIENCE FICTION and FANTASY by Simon Litten and Sean Mcmullen
    FANTASTICAL WORLDS AND FUTURES AT THE WORLD'S EDGE: A HISTORY OF NEW ZEALAND SCIENCE FICTION AND FANTASY by Simon Litten and Sean McMullen CHAPTER 7: ARTISTS, COMICS, CRASH COURSES AND THE FUTURE There is a lot more to science fiction, fantasy and horror than novels, stories, films and television series. Comics, artists, musicians, podcasts, audio works, live plays, radio plays, games, re-enactment societies and non-fiction books all contribute to the overall picture, and all of the foregoing are produced in New Zealand. Each of these topics could fill a separate chapter, but deadlines have forced us to provide just a few examples of artists, comics and non-fiction books here. NEW ZEALAND ARTISTS Readers really do, more often than not, judge books by their covers, and New Zealand's artists have produced some very fine work, contributing to the success of many books. This artwork has been honoured in the Sir Julius Vogel Awards in the category of Best Professional Artwork. A selection of winners and their covers follow: Emma Weakley has won the Sir Julius Vogel Award award three times, for Newton’s Sleep (Random Static, 2008) in 2009, Regeneration: Best New Zealand Speculative Fiction (Random Static, 2013) in 2014, and At the Edge (Paper Road Press, 2016) in 2017. Frank Victoria’s cover for Mary Victoria’s Tymon's Flight (Harper Collins, 2010) won the award in 2011, and the following year won again with his cover for Mary Victoria’s Oracle's Fire (Harper Collins, 2011). Les Petersen did the cover for an Australian anthology by New Zealander Simon Petrie, Light Touch Paper, Stand Clear (Peggy Bright Books, 2012), winning him a Vogel in 2013.
