  • Alan Moore's Miracleman: Harbinger of the Modern Age of Comics
    Alan Moore’s Miracleman: Harbinger of the Modern Age of Comics Jeremy Larance Introduction On May 26, 2014, Marvel Comics ran a full-page advertisement in the New York Times for Alan Moore’s Miracleman, Book One: A Dream of Flying, calling the work “the series that redefined comics… in print for the first time in over 20 years.” Such an ad, particularly one of this size, is a rare move for the comic book industry in general but one especially rare for a graphic novel consisting primarily of just four comic books originally published over thirty years before- hand. Of course, it helps that the series’ author is a profitable lumi- nary such as Moore, but the advertisement inexplicably makes no reference to Moore at all. Instead, Marvel uses a blurb from Time to establish the reputation of its “new” re-release: “A must-read for scholars of the genre, and of the comic book medium as a whole.” That line came from an article written by Graeme McMillan, but it is worth noting that McMillan’s full quote from the original article begins with a specific reference to Moore: “[Miracleman] represents, thanks to an erratic publishing schedule that both predated and fol- lowed Moore’s own Watchmen, Moore’s simultaneous first and last words on ‘realism’ in superhero comics—something that makes it a must-read for scholars of the genre, and of the comic book medium as a whole.” Marvel’s excerpt, in other words, leaves out the very thing that McMillan claims is the most important aspect of Miracle- man’s critical reputation as a “missing link” in the study of Moore’s influence on the superhero genre and on the “medium as a whole.” To be fair to Marvel, for reasons that will be explained below, Moore refused to have his name associated with the Miracleman reprints, so the company was legally obligated to leave his name off of all advertisements.

With one exception, the eastern hoolock, all ape species and their subspecies are classi- fied as endangered or critically endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) (IUCN, 2016c). Since apes require access to forested or wooded land- scapes, habitat loss represents a major cause of population decline, as does hunting in these settings (Geissmann, 2007; Hickey et al., 2013; Plumptre et al., 2016b; Stokes et al., 2010; Wich et al., 2008).

APPROVED BY MEM~ OF THE THESIS COMMITTEE: Marc R. Feldesman, Chairman Gibbon classification at the species and subspecies levels has been hotly debated for the last 200 years. This thesis explores the reasons for this debate. Authorities agree that siamang, concolor, kloss and hoolock are species, while there is complete lack of agreement on lar, agile, moloch, Mueller's and pileated. The disagreement results from the use and emphasis of different character traits, and from debate on the occurrence and importance of gene flow.

Zhou, Tel:+8613985463226, E-mail: [email protected] Received: 08. April 2017 / Accepted: 27. July 2017 / Available online: 27. July 2017 / Printed: December 2018 Abstract. Researches on diets and feeding behavior of endangered species are critical to understand ecological adaptations and develop conservation strategies. To document the diet of the Hainan gibbon (Nomascus hainanus) we conducted a long-term dietary composition survey in Bawangling National Nature Reserve, Hainan Island, China from 2002 to 2014. Transects and quadrants were established to monitor plant phenology and to count tree species. Tracking survey and scan-sampling method were used to record the feeding species and feeding time of Hainan Gibbon. Our results showed that Hainan gibbons’ habitat vegetation structure is tropical montane evergreen forest dominated by Lauraceae species while Dipterocarpaceae, Leguminosae and Ficusare rare. Hainan gibbons consume 133 plant species across 83 genera and 51 families. Hainan gibbons consumed more Lauraceae and Myrtaceae plant species than other plant species, whereas their consumption of leguminous species was little and with no Dipterocarpaceae compared to other gibbons. Furthermore, we classified the food plants as different feeding parts and confirmed that this gibbon species is a main fruits eater particularly during the wet season (114 species,64.8% feeding time), meanwhile we also observed five species of animal foods.

Signature Date: 17/12/2020 ii iii ABSTRACT Since the development of the superhero genre in the late 1930s it has been a contentious area of cultural discourse, particularly concerning its depictions of gender politics. A major critique of the genre is that it simply represents an adolescent male power fantasy; and presents a world view that valorises masculinist individualism.
