  • The Dahl House
    Microcosm Publishing PO Box 14332 Portland, OR 97293 www.microcosmpublishing.com Welcome to the Dahl House Alienation, Incarceration and Inebriation in the New American Rome by Ken Dahl The new Welcome to the Dahl House book collects 10 years of comic artist Ken Dahl’s best work. Dahl, winner of the Ignatz Award for best mini-comic for his STD nightmare Monsters #1 , gives the goods in equally hilarious and harrowing doses. His comics show a dirty, beaten down, drunk-as-hell America where the underdog always rules—even if he never wins. Dahl’s work is normal ol’ painful life with all the warts and scars and stretch-marks fully visible and well-lit. It’s heavy stuff, and decidedly not for the faint of heart, but Dahl’s caustic sense of humor, courage under fire, and strong undercurrent of hope balance out the dark with light and give his comics a well-rounded, triumphant epicness. Like a graphic novel mash up of Gummo, Jesus’ Son, and Married with Children, Welcome to the Dahl House tells it like it is, the existential American experience in 128 pages. “A double-barreled assault on American culture and consumerism and its dev - astatng results ... Dahl’s writing is simply brilliant. He successfully presents a view of America from the outside.” - Midnight Fiction “Ken Dahl’s comics are really well drawn, imaginative, spirited, and forthright, SUBJECT CATEGORY: Graphic Novel, Comic but best of all, painfully, painfully honest.” - Ivan Brunetti, author of Misery RELEASE: 7/1/08 Loves Company PRICE: Retail: $6 | Wholesale: $4.20 ISBN: 978-1-934620-02-1 FORMAT: paperback, 5.5 x 7”, 128 pgs, illustrated ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Born in Honolulu, raised on the roads of the MARKETING NOTES: continental US, Ken Dahl comes at comix- - Author winner of Ignatz Award for best mini-comic makin' with a wealth of world-weariness and - Book is featured on 25,000 postcards distributed wisdom under his belt.

  • Batman: Year One by Frank Miller and David Mazzucchelli Study Guide By
    Graphic Novel Study Group Study Guides Batman: Year One By Frank Miller and David Mazzucchelli Study guide by 1. In 1986, Miller and Mazzucchelli were charged with updating the classic character of Batman. DC Comics wanted to give the origin story “depth, complexity, a wider context.” Did Miller and Mazzucchelli succeed? 2. Why or why not? Give specific examples. 3. We meet Jimmy Gordon and Bruce Wayne at roughly the same moment in the novel. How are they portrayed differently, right from the beginning? Are these initial impressions in line with what we come to know about both characters later? 4. In both Jimmy and Bruce’s initial scenes, how are color and drawing style used to create an atmosphere, or to set them apart – their characters and their surroundings? Give a specific example for each. 5. Batman’s origin story is a familiar one to most readers. How do Miller and Mazzucchelli embroider the basic story? 6. What effect do their additions or subtractions have on your understanding of Bruce Wayne? 7. What are the major plots and subplots contained in the novel? 8. Where are the moments of high tension in the novel? 9. What happens directly before and after each one? How does the juxtaposition of low-tension and high-tension scenes or the repetition of high-tension scenes affect the pacing of the novel? 10. How have Jimmy Gordon and Bruce Wayne/Batman evolved over the course of the novel? How do we as readers understand this? Give specific examples. .

Stern Writing Beowulf: The Graphic Novel has been one of the most fulfilling experiences of my career. I was captivated by the poem when I first read it decades ago. The translation was by Francis Gummere, and it was a truly masterful work, retaining all of the spirit that the anonymous author (or authors) invested in it while making it accessible to modern readers. “Modern” is, of course, a relative term. The Gummere translation was published in 1910. Yet it held up wonderfully, and over 60 years later, when I came upon it, my imagination was captivated by its powerful descriptions of life in a distant place and time.

  • English-Language Graphic Narratives in Canada
    Drawing on the Margins of History: English-Language Graphic Narratives in Canada by Kevin Ziegler A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfilment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2013 © Kevin Ziegler 2013 Author’s Declaration I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract This study analyzes the techniques that Canadian comics life writers develop to construct personal histories. I examine a broad selection of texts including graphic autobiography, biography, memoir, and diary in order to argue that writers and readers can, through these graphic narratives, engage with an eclectic and eccentric understanding of Canadian historical subjects. Contemporary Canadian comics are important for Canadian literature and life writing because they acknowledge the importance of contemporary urban and marginal subcultures and function as representations of people who occasionally experience economic scarcity. I focus on stories of “ordinary” people because their stories have often been excluded from accounts of Canadian public life and cultural history. Following the example of Barbara Godard, Heather Murray, and Roxanne Rimstead, I re- evaluate Canadian literatures by considering the importance of marginal literary products. Canadian comics authors rarely construct narratives about representative figures standing in place of and speaking for a broad community; instead, they create what Murray calls “history with a human face . the face of the daily, the ordinary” (“Literary History as Microhistory” 411).

  • Graphic Novel Collections in Academic ARL Libraries
    Graphic Novel Collections in Academic ARL Libraries Cassie Wagner This study examines the extent to which ARL academic libraries collect graphic novels. Using a core list of 176 titles developed from winners of major comics industry awards and a library-focused “best of” list, the holdings of 111 ARL academic libraries were searched using the librar- ies’ online catalogs. Results suggest that most of the libraries studied do not aggressively collect graphic novels. Also examined were associations between date of publication, prior serialization, overall collection size, monograph budget, and ARL ranking and graphic novel holdings. To better serve scholarly research in this area of increasing interest, libraries will need to reexamine their collecting policies. ne of a handful of art forms Comics have undergone a renaissance whose development began in recent years.
