For Tomorrow also features a rather fantastic use of Wonder Woman in a brilliant knock down, drag out fight between the Man of Steel and Princess Diana of Themyscira. To a man these designs are generally either too busy or — in the case of pre-existing characters — are too self- consciously modern to be effective or lasting costume redesigns. However, if the character designs leave something to be desired, then the other little curios that are peppered through this book seek to remind us that Lee has much more in his locker than just the dynamic action pose.

Sort Icons: The DC Comics and WildStorm Art of Jim Lee. Mar 30, Chad rated it it was amazing Shelves: The majority of the book is devoted to Batman, then the rest of the Icons: The DC Comics and WildStorm Art of Jim Lee heroes and finally touching on some of his Wildstorm work. It's got all kind of unseen sketches and pencils including things like a birthday drawing of the Joker Lee sent to Heath Ledger. It's gorgeous to see all Lee's artwork blown up to this scale. Also included is a little Legion of Super-Heroes original story featuring the classic lineup. I've never seen the LSH look better. Jul 10, Chambers Stevens rated it really liked it Shelves: comics. I won this book at an auction. And part of the prize for Jim Lee to draw a pic in the inside cover. Jim is the nicest man. He signed it to my little boy. This book is priceless to me. Jun 24, Chip'sBookBinge rated it it was amazing. This book literally took a week to get through. When I first heard about the book, in my mind I thought it was going to be some tiny book full of covers and pin-ups. Boy, was I ever wrong. When I finally had this in my hands, I was like a little kid opening up the biggest present on Christmas morning. That's right. This book is HUGE. I would ev This book literally took a week to get through. I would even say it can be used as a weapon if need be. It's THAT heavy. Page after awesome page, you get to see Jim Lee's art on glossy paper and twice the size from that of a regular comic book. This is how you do a coffee table book right. Along with all his Wildstorm and DC art, you get insight to pretty much everything inside the book. One thing you need to know though is that none of his work from Marvel is represented. So, no X-Men stuff and no Punisher. Had his Marvel run been included, it would have easily made this a 10 Star book. Even with this unfortunate omission, this is a book that belongs in everyone's personal library. Get it. You will NOT be disappointed at all. Rating: 5 Stars out of Jan 18, David Edmonds rated it it was amazing Shelves: read A fantastic retrospective on arguably my favorite artist out there, Jim Lee, Icons is a beautifully presented volume covering Lee's time with Wildstorm and DC Comics. Including artwork that covers his entire career with both companies including sketches and art that I've never seen before, this really is the perfect book for any Jim Lee fan. The physical look of the book, too, from the shear size of the volume to the layout of the interior pages does nothing but add to the beauty of the book. I A fantastic retrospective on arguably my favorite artist out there, Jim Lee, Icons is a beautifully presented volume covering Lee's time with Wildstorm and DC Comics. I think that this is a volume that can truly show that comics are not just a form of entertainment but can also be viewed as a true work of art. Bill Baker's running comments on the art and background information on Lee and his studio makes for a nice finishing touch. Naturally, the only thing that would make Icons: The DC Comics and WildStorm Art of Jim Lee volume perfect would be to also include his art and time with Marvel, but since he is now DC Comics' co-publisher, this may be the best book that we'll get for the foreseeable future. Highly recommended to anyone who is a fan of Jim Lee's artwork or to anyone Icons: The DC Comics and WildStorm Art of Jim Lee enjoys a beautifully presented book of art. Jan 09, James rated it it was amazing. In my opinion this man is THE best penciler in all of comics. Fresh lines, exciting Icons: The DC Comics and WildStorm Art of Jim Lee, and articulate nature drive me to draw more like him. Jul 13, Ian Massey rated it really liked it. It's a bit of a cheat to say that I've "read" this book, given how few words are actually in it, and I'm not one to pore over art. But over the last few days I have greatly enjoyed looking at Jim Lee's gorgeous finished art and intricate pencils, as well as appreciating the development of rough sketches to finished product. Lee is, despite his frequently point out faults, one of my favourite comic artists and the depth of work in here - much that I hadn't seen before - is astounding. Yes, some c It's a bit of a cheat to say that I've "read" this book, given how few words are actually in it, and I'm not one to pore over art. Yes, some covers follow the same formula, but so what? Why four stars? Well, I would have liked a bit more text - an interview would have been nice although dated now and possibly a more comprehensive checklist of his work comic collectors are, after all, collectors Oh, and the Legion story, although again with stunning art, was little more than a fluff-piece, which is a shame. Feb 18, Will Harris rated it it was amazing. I've had this sitting on my shelf for years, read it back and forth, stared at it for hours a day. Now it's just a thing for the kids to marvel at no pun intended and ask me endless questions about. You can clearly see the wear and tear of them flipping through the pages. I love this artbook, so much great work from Icons: The DC Comics and WildStorm Art of Jim Lee favorite comic artist of all time. Definitely going to get another copy and keep it safe from little hands. Feb 18, Joe Schmoe rated it it was amazing. Mar 13, David rated it liked it. Thought the fact that it has a beautiful looking Legion story-et deserves a 4th star.

  • Randy Duncan, Matthew J. Smith and Paul Levitz, the Power of Comics (Bloomsbury, 2014, 2Nd Edition)
    Randy Duncan, Matthew J. Smith and Paul Levitz, The Power of Comics (Bloomsbury, 2014, 2nd edition) The strength of this work lies in the ambitious scope of both its breadth and depth. The authors make assumptions that the reader is interested and motivated to work to fill the knowledge gaps that a critical work of this magnitude entails (382 pages not counting the glossary or extensive bibliography). Comic book creators, readers and critics will all find some, if not all, portions of this book a rewarding read. Having said that, the form of the book clearly signals that a primary audience is students (high school and early undergraduate. Three main units – History, Form, Culture – are broken into chapters. In turn, each chapter is bookended by objectives at the start and with discussion questions, activities, readings and scholarly sources at the end. While there is an early assumption that readers may be unfamiliar with media theory (in the introduction the word ‘medium’ is defined), the later chapters don’t shy away from more complex ideas such as the comprehension and creation of hermeneutic images. This traversal from basic foundations through to higher-level critical and practical considerations, and the variety of possible types of analyses introduced, creates an interesting trajectory that offers something new to readers both new and experienced. Although they first appeared in the US in the early 1930s, there has been a resurgence of interest in the comic book (comic) form since the 1980s. Key works such as Art Spiegelman’s Maus: A Survivor’s Tale; Alan Moore, Dave Gibbons and John Higgins’s influential collaboration on The Watchmen, and Frank Miller’s A Dark Knight Returns were on the shelves by late 1986.

  • The Charismatic Leadership and Cultural Legacy of Stan Lee
    REINVENTING THE AMERICAN SUPERHERO: THE CHARISMATIC LEADERSHIP AND CULTURAL LEGACY OF STAN LEE Hazel Homer-Wambeam Junior Individual Documentary Process Paper: 499 Words !1 “A different house of worship A different color skin A piece of land that’s coveted And the drums of war begin.” -Stan Lee, 1970 THESIS As the comic book industry was collapsing during the 1950s and 60s, Stan Lee utilized his charismatic leadership style to reinvent and revive the superhero phenomenon. By leading the industry into the “Marvel Age,” Lee has left a multilayered legacy. Examples of this include raising awareness of social issues, shaping contemporary pop-culture, teaching literacy, giving people hope and self-confidence in the face of adversity, and leaving behind a multibillion dollar industry that employs thousands of people. TOPIC I was inspired to learn about Stan Lee after watching my first Marvel movie last spring. I was never interested in superheroes before this project, but now I have become an expert on the history of Marvel and have a new found love for the genre. Stan Lee’s entire personal collection is archived at the University of Wyoming American Heritage Center in my hometown. It contains 196 boxes of interviews, correspondence, original manuscripts, photos and comics from the 1920s to today. This was an amazing opportunity to obtain primary resources. !2 RESEARCH My most important primary resource was the phone interview I conducted with Stan Lee himself, now 92 years old. It was a rare opportunity that few people have had, and quite an honor! I use clips of Lee’s answers in my documentary.

  • Captain America
    The Star-spangled Avenger Adapted from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Captain America first appeared in Captain America Comics #1 (Cover dated March 1941), from Marvel Comics' 1940s predecessor, Timely Comics, and was created by Joe Simon and Jack Kirby. For nearly all of the character's publication history, Captain America was the alter ego of Steve Rogers , a frail young man who was enhanced to the peak of human perfection by an experimental serum in order to aid the United States war effort. Captain America wears a costume that bears an American flag motif, and is armed with an indestructible shield that can be thrown as a weapon. An intentionally patriotic creation who was often depicted fighting the Axis powers. Captain America was Timely Comics' most popular character during the wartime period. After the war ended, the character's popularity waned and he disappeared by the 1950s aside from an ill-fated revival in 1953. Captain America was reintroduced during the Silver Age of comics when he was revived from suspended animation by the superhero team the Avengers in The Avengers #4 (March 1964). Since then, Captain America has often led the team, as well as starring in his own series. Captain America was the first Marvel Comics character adapted into another medium with the release of the 1944 movie serial Captain America . Since then, the character has been featured in several other films and television series, including Chris Evans in 2011’s Captain America and The Avengers in 2012. The creation of Captain America In 1940, writer Joe Simon conceived the idea for Captain America and made a sketch of the character in costume.

This relationship has also informed superhero comics themselves – going all the way back to Superman’s debut in Action Comics 1 (June 1938). As DC President Paul Levitz says of the development of the superhero: ‘There was an enormous desire to see social justice, a rectifying of corruption. Superman was a fulfillment of a pent-up passion for the heroic solution’ (quoted in Poniewozik 2002: 57).

It argues that this connection was not integral to the character as he was originally created, but was imposed by later writers over time and mainly for cinematic adaptations. This thesis also tracks the history of how Christians and churches viewed Superman, as the film studios began to exploit marketing opportunities by comparing Superman and Jesus. This thesis uses the methodological framework of intertextuality to ground its treatment of the sources, but does not follow all of the assumptions of intertextual theorists. iii MA Thesis—Robert Revington; McMaster University, Religious Studies ABSTRACT This thesis examines the historical trajectory of how the comic book character of Superman came to be identified as a Christ figure in popular consciousness. Superman was created in 1938, but the character developed significantly from his earliest incarnations.
