  • Hark! a Vagrant Free Download
    HARK! A VAGRANT FREE DOWNLOAD Kate Beaton | 166 pages | 27 Sep 2011 | DRAWN & QUARTERLY | 9781770460607 | English | United Kingdom Hark! A Vagrant by Kate Beaton (2011, Hardcover) Readers also enjoyed. Five stars. Looking on the bright side, although Kate Beaton's drawing style is not my favorite personally, it is expressive and seems to fit the content of the comic strips quite well. Beaton's book is crammed full of smart, funny, and shhh! No era or tome emerges unscathbed as Beaton rightly skewers the Western world's revolutionaries, leaders, sycophants, and suffragists while equally honing her wit on the hapless heroes, heroines, and villains of the best-loved fiction. Weren't we talking about Middle Ages stuff? Rochester and giggles at the problematic lives of peasants in Medieval England. This is more of a for-everyone Hark! A Vagrant. Beaton, for taking some of the world's most problematic characters fiction or otherwise and making them loveable again. Ratings and Reviews Write a review. Some of my favorites include Sherlock Holmes and his Watsons, pirate nemeses, and the various French Revolution figures.

  • Drawn&Quarterly
    DRAWN & QUARTERLY spring 2012 catalogue EXCERPT FROM GUY DELISLE’S JERUSALEM EXCERPT FROM GUY DELISLE’S JERUSALEM EXCERPT FROM GUY DELISLE’S JERUSALEM CANADIAN AUTHOR GUY DELISLE JERUSALEM Chronicles from the Holy City Acclaimed graphic memoirist Guy Delisle returns with his strongest work yet, a thoughtful and moving travelogue about life in Israel. Delisle and his family spent a year in East Jerusalem as part of his wife’s work with the non-governmental organiza- tion Doctors Without Borders. They were there for the short but brutal Gaza War, a three-week-long military strike that resulted in more than 1000 Palestinian deaths. In his interactions with the emergency medical team sent in by Doctors Without Borders, Delisle eloquently plumbs the depths of the conflict. Some of the most moving moments in Jerusalem are the in- teractions between Delisle and Palestinian art students as they explain the motivations for their work. Interspersed with these simply told, affecting stories of suffering, Delisle deftly and often drolly recounts the quotidian: crossing checkpoints, going ko- sher for Passover, and befriending other stay-at-home dads with NGO-employed wives. Jerusalem evinces Delisle’s renewed fascination with architec- ture and landscape as political and apolitical, with studies of highways, villages, and olive groves recurring alongside depictions of the newly erected West Bank Barrier and illegal Israeli settlements. His drawn line is both sensitive and fair, assuming nothing and drawing everything. Jerusalem showcases once more Delisle’s mastery of the travelogue. “[Delisle’s books are] some of the most effective and fully realized travel writing out there.” – NPR ALSO AVAILABLE: SHENZHEN 978-1-77046-079-9 • $14.95 USD/CDN BURMA CHRONICLES 978-1770460256 • $16.95 USD/CDN PYONGYANG 978-1897299210 • $14.95 USD/CDN GUY DELISLE spent a decade working in animation in Europe and Asia.

  • 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).

    CROWDFUNDING WEBCOMICS: THE ROLE OF INCENTIVES AND RECIPROCITY IN MONETISING FREE CONTENT Liz Dowthwaite Thesis submitted to the University of Nottingham for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy September 2017 Liz Dowthwaite Crowdfunding Webcomics: The Role of Incentives and Reciprocity in Monetising Free Content Thesis submitted to the School of Engineering, University of Nottingham, in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. © September 2017 Supervisors: Robert J Houghton Alexa Spence Richard Mortier i To my parents, and James. ii Doug Savage, 2007 http://www.savagechickens.com/2007/05/morgan-freeman.html “They’re not paying for the content. They’re paying for the people.” Jack Conte, founder of Patreon “We ascribe to the idealistic notion that audiences don’t pay for things because they’re forced to, but because they care about the stuff that they love and want it to continue to grow.” Hank Green, founder of Subbable iii CROWDFUNDING WEBCOMICS – LIZ DOWTHWAITE – AUGUST 2017 ABSTRACT The recent phenomenon of internet-based crowdfunding has enabled the creators of new products and media to share and finance their work via networks of fans and similarly-minded people instead of having to rely on established corporate intermediaries and traditional business models. This thesis examines how the creators of free content, specifically webcomics, are able to monetise their work and find financial success through crowdfunding and what factors, social and psychological, support this process. Consistent with crowdfunding being both a large-scale social process yet based on the interactions of individuals (albeit en mass), this topic was explored at both micro- and macro-level combining methods from individual interviews through to mass scraping of data and large-scale questionnaires.

    DRAWN & QUARTERLY SPRING 2015 EDITED BY TOM DEVLIN DRAWN & QUARTERLY: TWENTY-FIVE YEARS OF CONTEMPORARY CARTOONING, COMICS, AND GRAPHIC NOVELS EDITED BY TOM DEVLIN DRAWN & QUARTERLY: TWENTY FIVE YEARS OF CONTEMPORARY CARTOONING, COMICS, AND GRAPHIC NOVELS NORTH AMERICA’S PIONEERING COMICS PUBLISHER CELEBRATES ITS QUARTER-CENTURY WITH NEW AND RARE ARCHIVAL COMICS; ESSAYS FROM JONATHAN LETHEM, MARGARET ATWOOD, DANIEL HANDLER, AND MORE. Drawn & Quarterly: Twenty-Five Years of Contemporary Cartooning, Comics, and Graphic Novels is a six hundred- page thank-you letter to the cartoonists whose steadfast belief in a Canadian micro-publisher never wavered. In 1989, a prescient Chris Oliveros created D+Q with a simple mandate–to publish the world’s best cartoonists. Thanks to his taste-making visual acumen and the sup- port of over fifty cartoonists from the past two decades, D+Q has grown from an annual stapled anthology into one of the world’s leading graphic novel publishers. With hundreds of pages of comics by Drawn & Quarterly cartoonists, D+Q: 25 features new work by Kate Beaton, Chester Brown, Michael DeForge, Tom Gauld, Miriam Katin, Rutu Modan, James Sturm, Jillian Tamaki, Yoshihiro Tatsumi alongside rare and never-before- seen work from Guy Delisle, Debbie Dreschler, Julie Doucet, John Porcellino, Art Spiegelman, and Adrian Tomine. Editor Tom Devlin digs into the company archives for rare photographs, correspondence, and comics; assembles biographies, personal reminiscences, and interviews with key D+Q staff; and curates essays by Margaret Atwood, Daniel Handler, Sheila Heti, Jonathan Lethem, Deb Olin-Unferth, Heather O’Neill, Chris Ware, and noted comics scholars. D+Q: 25 is the rare chance to witness a literary movement in progress; how a group of dedicated artists and their publisher changed the future of a century-old medium.
