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 Case Study – Film Marketing and 'Judge Dredd'
    TEACHERS’ NOTES This guide has been written for use at GCSE, A Level and GNVQ for Media and Communication Studies, Design and Technology and Business Studies. This guide is written in two parts: Part one, A Case Study – Film Marketing and ‘Judge Dredd’, encouraged the students to look at film marketing with specific reference to ‘Judge Dredd’. The information and tasks within this section aim to provide an insight into the planning and preparation of a film marketing campaign. Part two, Background to the Film ‘Judge Dredd’, provides the teacher and students with an insight into the origins of and themes dealt with in the character Judge Dredd. THE FILM Based on the lead character of the popular science-fiction comic ‘2000 AD’, the film ‘Judge Dredd’ is directed by Danny Cannon and stars Sylvester Stallone in the title role. The film will be released in the UK on 21 July 1995. SYNOPSIS In the Third Milennium the face of the earth had been virtually destroyed by uncontrollable disasters – earthquakes, fires and floods. Only a few cities remain, humanity itself turned as violent as the planet. Civilisation threatened to collapse. And then… a solution was found. The crumbling legal system was merged with the overburdened police, creating a powerful and efficient hybrid. These new guardians of society had the power to dispense both justice and punishment. They were judge, jury and executioner… and Dredd (Sylvester Stallone) is the most awesome of them all. PART ONE: A CASE STUDY – FILM MARKETING AND ‘JUDGE DREDD’ ‘Judge Dredd’, starring Sylvester Stallone is released in Britain on 21st July 1995.
