Mar 17, Anne rated it liked it Shelves: comicsgraphic-novelsread-in This isn't Vertigo's Constantine, so fans of Hellblazer will probably feel quite a pang of disappointment at DC's shinier version of the character. Not that John's shitting rainbows, but this title definitely captured his PG side. I've really enjoyed him in Justice League Dark, so I was hoping since this is volume 1 that this would give an origin story for him. Constantine: The Spark and the Flame Volume 1 such luck. I haven't read a great deal about him outside of the DC universe, so I'm not reall 3. I haven't read a great deal about him outside of the DC universe, so I'm not really sure about his backstory. In this, Constantine goes up against some bad guys looking for a magical compass, screws over everyone who knows him, temporarily steals Billy Batson's power, and gets himself shot. All of this ties in to the Trinity War stuff, in case you're interested. Overall, it a good story if you like him from JLD, but hardcore fans won't be as impressed. And as long as my library gets this one in, I'll keep coming back for more. View Constantine: The Spark and the Flame Volume 1 54 comments. Jan 01, Calista rated it really liked it Shelves: comics-graphic-noveli-dc-vertigomyth-folktale-fable, genre-horror-gothicgenre-fantasyseriesseries- unfinishedbage-young-adultsub-cities. I have to admit that I don't like the character of John Constantine. I do like the Justice League Dark series and he is in that. He is a great character to hate. I decided to give this book a try and so I did. I have to admit that I actually enjoyed this story, was entertained by it and John didn't get on my nerves quite as bad as he has. He's still a bastard, but the story is Constantine: The Spark and the Flame Volume 1. He's looking for a McGuffin, a magical compass and it is in 3 parts. He is seeking them out. Others are also lookin I have to admit that I don't like the character of John Constantine. Others are also looking for it. One time, they beat him to it and another time he gets what his is looking for. We don't get to see the 3rd item as this volume ends before the story gets there. He does almost die though. London is an interesting idea. For some reason, just being in London for John is deadly. It's like the city is attacking him or something. It was a crazy idea. I am shocked that I want to read the next volume. This was so much better than the movie. I haven't read other GN's of this story, but it's nothing like the movie at all really. The movie missed the point of John. I used to the people were being weird, but it was really a bad movie compared to this. Oct 09, Sam Quixote rated it liked it. The book does get a lot right by including a lot of magical action, duels, spells, and everything that should be in a story featuring sorcerers, spirits and wizards, and artist Renato Guedes does an excellent job of drawing these magical scenes really well. Shows up Constantine: The Spark and the Flame Volume 1 a shrine, cracks open a vase, and there it is. And then what happens at the end of the arc? He puts the compass on a shelf and sits in a chair. The remaining 3 issues are a bit of a directionless mess with issue 5 unfortunately being a Trinity War tie-in. As it is, it feels like each issue of Constantine is the character treading water — not exactly riveting reading. View all 5 comments. Aug 12, Sesana rated it liked it Shelves: fantasycomics. There's been a lot of apprehension about the decision to move Constantine as a character from the realm of Vertigo into the DCU proper. Hellblazer, as a property, had been a solidly and proudly "mature" title, and was beloved in no small part for being so. Obviously, the move would mean that the cursing, sex, and violence of the original would have to be downplayed, or at least be less explicitly drawn on the page. I imagine that, if you dearly loved the original, it felt Constantine: The Spark and the Flame Volume 1 quite a blow, like There's been a lot of apprehension about the decision to move Constantine as a character from the realm of Vertigo into the DCU proper. I imagine that, if you dearly loved the original, it felt like quite a blow, like it would be impossible to truly tell a Constantine story under those restrictions. Constantine: The Spark and the Flame Volume 1 it actually? Well, that depends on your point of view. The truth is, it's only the presentation that's been sanitized, and even that isn't by much. This is PG Constantine, which gives the writers some leeway. And Constantine's personality hasn't exactly been scrubbed, either. Very early in this book, he turns his back on a good friend, and the consequences for his friend are deadly. So not terribly far from his Vertigo origins. However, planting him in the DCU does have the unfortunate side effect of making him a party to whatever major thing is going on in the greater DCU at the moment. Here, it's Trinity War, and it leads to the Constantine: The Spark and the Flame Volume 1 least interesting issue in the entire collection. Not that the collection as a whole is terribly compelling. Constantine is basically putting on an Indiana Jones act for most of it, traveling the world in search of magical artifacts and encountering a laundry list of magical antagonists. That part is decently told, but not terribly original. There are too many newly introduced characters, with little background and meaning given to each, and I felt like the artifact hunt was lacking in urgency. And then the Trinity War issue seriously breaks any flow this book might have had.

  • The Doll's Ghost
    The Doll's Ghost F. Marion Crawford It was a terrible accident, and for one moment the splendid machinery of Cranston House got out of gear and stood still. The butler emerged from the retirement in which he spent his elegant leisure, two grooms of the chambers appeared simultaneously from opposite directions, there were actually housemaids on the grand staircase, and those who remember the facts most exactly assert that Mrs. Pringle herself positively stood upon the landing. Mrs. Pringle was the housekeeper. As for the head nurse, the under nurse, and the nursery maid, their feelings cannot be described. The head nurse laid one hand upon the polished marble balustrade and stared stupidly before her, the under nurse stood rigid and pale, leaning against the polished marble wall, and the nursery-maid collapsed and sat down upon the polished marble step, just beyond the limits of the velvet carpet, and frankly burst into tears. The Lady Gwendolen Lancaster-Douglas-Scroop, youngest daughter of the ninth Duke of Cranston, and aged six years and three months, picked herself up quite alone, and sat down on the third step from the foot of the grand staircase in Cranston House. "Oh!" ejaculated the butler, and he disappeared again. "Ah!" responded the grooms of the chambers, as they also went away. "It's only that doll," Mrs. Pringle was distinctly heard to say, in a tone of contempt. The under nurse heard her say it. Then the three nurses gathered round Lady Gwendolen and patted her, and gave her unhealthy things out of their pockets, and hurried her out of Cranston House as fast as they could, lest it should be found out upstairs that they had allowed the Lady Gwendolen Lancaster-Douglas-Scroop to tumble down the grand staircase with her doll in her arms.

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.

  • The Portrayal of Women in American Superhero Comics By: Esmé Smith Junior Research Project Seminar
    Hidden Heroines: The Portrayal of Women in American Superhero Comics By: Esmé Smith Junior Research Project Seminar Introduction The first comic books came out in the 1930s. Superhero comics quickly became one of the most popular genres. Today, they remain incredibly popular and influential. I have been interested in superhero comics for several years now, but one thing I often noticed was that women generally had much smaller roles than men and were also usually not as powerful. Female characters got significantly less time in the story devoted to them than men, and most superhero teams only had one woman, if they had any at all. Because there were so few female characters it was harder for me to find a way to relate to these stories and characters. If I wanted to read a comic that centered around a female hero I had to spend a lot more time looking for it than if I wanted to read about a male hero. Another thing that I noticed was that when people talk about the history of superhero comics, and the most important and influential superheroes, they almost only talk about male heroes. Wonder Woman was the only exception to this. This made me curious about other influential women in comics and their stories. Whenever I read about the history of comics I got plenty of information on how the portrayal of superheroes changed over time, but it always focused on male heroes, so I was interested in learning how women were portrayed in comics and how that has changed.

  • David Hare, Surrealism, and the Comics Mona Hadler Brooklyn College and the Graduate Center, CUNY
    93 David Hare, Surrealism, and the Comics Mona Hadler Brooklyn College and The Graduate Center, CUNY The history of the comic book in the United States has been closely allied with mass culture debates ranging from Clement Greenberg’s 1939 essay “Avant-Garde and Kitsch” to Fredric Wertham’s attack on the comic book industry in his now infamous 1954 book, Seduction of the Innocent. An alternative history can be constructed, however, by linking the comics to the expatriate Surrealist community in New York in the thirties and early forties with its focus on fantasy, dark humor, the poetics and ethics of evil, transgressive and carnivalesque body images, and restless desire. Surrealist artists are well known for their fascination with black humor, pulp fi ction, and crime novels—in particular the popular series Fantômas. Indeed, the image of the scoundrel in elegant attire holding a bloody dagger, featured in the writings of the Surrealist Robert Desnos (Color Plate 10), epitomized this darkling humor (Desnos 377-79).1 Pictures of Fantômas and articles on the pulp market peppered the pages of Surrealist magazines in Europe and America, from Documents in France (1929-1930) to VVV and View in New York in the early forties. By moving the discussion of the comics away from a Greenbergian or Frankfurt school discourse on mass culture to the debates surrounding Surrealism, other issues come to the fore. The comics become a site for the exploration of mystery, the imagination, criminality, and freedom. The comic book industry originated in the United States in the late thirties and early forties on the heels of a booming pulp fi ction market.

  • Using and Analyzing Political Cartoons
    USING AND ANALYZING POLITICAL CARTOONS EDUCATION OUTREACH THE COLONIAL WILLIAMSBURG FOUNDATION This packet of materials was developed by William Fetsko, Colonial Williamsburg Productions, Colonial Williamsburg. © 2001 by the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation, Williamsburg, Virginia INTRODUCTION TO LESSONS Political cartoons, or satires, as they were referred to in the eighteenth century, have provided a visual means by which individuals could express their opinions. They have been used throughout history to engage viewers in a discussion about an event, issue, or individual. In addition, they have also become a valuable instructional resource. However, in order for cartoons to be used effectively in the classroom, students must understand how to interpret them. So often they are asked to view a cartoon and explain what is being depicted when they really don’t know how to proceed. With that in mind, the material that follows identifies the various elements cartoonists often incorporate into their work. Once these have been taught to the students, they will then be in a better position to interpret a cartoon. In addition, this package also contains a series of representative cartoons from the Colonial period. Descriptors for these are found in the Appendix. Finally, a number of suggestions are included for the various ways cartoons can be used for instructional purposes. When used properly, cartoons can help meet many needs, and the skill of interpretation is something that has life-long application. 2 © C 2001 olonial  POLITICAL CARTOONS AN INTRODUCTION Cartoons differ in purpose, whether they seek to amuse, as does comic art; make life more bearable, as does the social cartoon; or bring order through governmental action, as does the successful political cartoon.
