    Copyright 2013 Shawn Patrick Gilmore THE INVENTION OF THE GRAPHIC NOVEL: UNDERGROUND COMIX AND CORPORATE AESTHETICS BY SHAWN PATRICK GILMORE DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2013 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor Michael Rothberg, Chair Professor Cary Nelson Associate Professor James Hansen Associate Professor Stephanie Foote ii Abstract This dissertation explores what I term the invention of the graphic novel, or more specifically, the process by which stories told in comics (or graphic narratives) form became longer, more complex, concerned with deeper themes and symbolism, and formally more coherent, ultimately requiring a new publication format, which came to be known as the graphic novel. This format was invented in fits and starts throughout the twentieth century, and I argue throughout this dissertation that only by examining the nuances of the publishing history of twentieth-century comics can we fully understand the process by which the graphic novel emerged. In particular, I show that previous studies of the history of comics tend to focus on one of two broad genealogies: 1) corporate, commercially-oriented, typically superhero-focused comic books, produced by teams of artists; 2) individually-produced, counter-cultural, typically autobiographical underground comix and their subsequent progeny. In this dissertation, I bring these two genealogies together, demonstrating that we can only truly understand the evolution of comics toward the graphic novel format by considering the movement of artists between these two camps and the works that they produced along the way.

    ! TM OWARD NOSTRAND DREW HIS BRILLIANT HORROR ART during the height of the criticism against comic books that spawned government investigations and the Comics Code. Nostrand’s style was HOWARD NOSTRAND’s Ha perfect mash-up of the E.C. Comics artists Jack Davis and Wally Wood with other influences like Will Eisner and Harvey Kurtzman. The artist assisted Bob Powell—the subject of the popular book Bob Powell’s Terror (IDW/Yoe Books)—but the comics in this book are ultimately pure Nostrand. In HOWARD NOSTRAND’S addition to the artist’s most fearsome full-color comics, five stories are painstakingly reproduced from rare, original art. Nostrand’s Nightmares also includes a profusely illustrated foreword by Eisner-winner Craig Yoe. Plus, you will enjoy the introduction by Nostrand colleague Sid Jacobson, the original editor of the 1950s stories reprinted here.

Many of the mysteries regarding credits have been solved by access to Al Hewetson’s notes & checklists as well as the extensive aid of Christos N. Gage.
