    MEDIA KIT BREAKING NEWS Rockville, MD August 19, 2019 THE BOYS by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson Coming to GraphicAudio® A Movie in Your Mind® in Early 2020 GraphicAudio® is thrilled to announce a just inked deal with DYNAMITE COMICS to produce and publish all 6 Omnibus Volumes of THE BOYS directly from the comics and scripted and produced in their unique audio entertainment format. The creative team at GraphicAudio® plans to make the adaptations as faithful as possible to the Graphic Novel series. The series is set between 2006–2008 in a world where superheroes exist. However, most of the su- perheroes in the series' universe are corrupted by their celebrity status and often engage in reckless behavior, compromising the safety of the world. The story follows a small clandestine CIA squad, informally known as "The Boys", led by Butcher and also consisting of Mother's Milk, the French- man, the Female, and new addition "Wee" Hughie Campbell, who are charged with monitoring the superhero community, often leading to gruesome confrontations and dreadful results; in parallel, a key subplot follows Annie "Starlight" January, a young and naive superhero who joins the Seven, the most prestigious– and corrupted – superhero group in the world and The Boys' most powerful enemies. Amazon Prime released THE BOYS Season 1 last month. Joseph Rybandt, Executive Editor of Dynamite and Editor of The Boys says, “While I did not grow up anywhere near the Golden Age of Radio, I have loved the medium of radio and audio dramas almost my entire life. Podcasts make my commute bearable to this day.

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.

  • Katalog Zur Ausstellung "60 Jahre Marvel
    Liebe Kulturfreund*innen, bereits seit Ende des Zweiten Weltkriegs befasst sich das Amerikahaus München mit US- amerikanischer Kultur. Als US-amerikanische Behörde war es zunächst für seine Bibliothek und seinen Lesesaal bekannt. Doch schon bald wurde das Programm des Amerikahauses durch Konzerte, Filmvorführungen und Vorträge ergänzt. Im Jahr 1957 zog das Amerika- haus in sein heutiges charakteristisches Gebäude ein und ist dort, nach einer vierjährigen Generalsanierung, seit letztem Jahr wieder zu finden. 2014 gründete sich die Stiftung Bay- erisches Amerikahaus, deren Träger der Freistaat Bayern ist. Heute bietet das Amerikahaus der Münchner Gesellschaft und über die Stadt- und Landesgrenzen hinaus ein vielfältiges Programm zu Themen rund um die transatlantischen Beziehungen – die Vereinigten Staaten, Kanada und Lateinamerika- und dem Schwerpunkt Demokratie an. Unsere einladenden Aus- stellungräume geben uns die Möglichkeit, Werke herausragender Künstler*innen zu zeigen. Mit dem Comicfestival München verbindet das Amerikahaus eine langjährige Partnerschaft. Wir freuen uns sehr, dass wir mit der Ausstellung „60 Jahre Marvel Comics Universe“ bereits die fünfte Ausstellung im Rahmen des Comicfestivals bei uns im Haus zeigen können. In der Vergangenheit haben wir mit unseren Ausstellungen einzelne Comickünstler, wie Tom Bunk, Robert Crumb oder Denis Kitchen gewürdigt. Vor zwei Jahren freute sich unser Publikum über die Ausstellung „80 Jahre Batman“. Dieses Jahr schließen wir mit einem weiteren Jubiläum an und feiern das 60-jährige Bestehen des Marvel-Verlags. Im Mainstream sind die Marvel- Helden durch die in den letzten Jahren immer beliebter gewordenen Blockbuster bekannt geworden, doch Spider-Man & Co. gab es schon lange davor. Das Comic-Heft „Fantastic Four #1“ gab vor 60 Jahren den Startschuss des legendären Marvel-Universums.

  • Reverberações Do Noir Nas Gns E No Cinema Atual: Dark Cities
    TRANS/RE/CRIAÇÕES DO ESTILO NOIR: DAS PÁGINAS PARA AS TELAS Denise Azevedo Duarte Guimarães1 Introdução Este artigo propõe reflexões sobre as múltiplas possibilidades de elaboração simbólica do espaço urbano, no âmbito das narrativas ficcionais, com ênfase em seus agenciamentos sígnicos e nos regimes visuais que efetivam seus modos de presença na mídia impressa e audiovisual. As recentes configurações imagéticas das metrópoles des/re/veladas nas páginas e nas telas constituem uma tendência que vai muito além do que era sazonal - em termos de desenhos animados e similares, destinados a platéias infanto-juvenis -; o que vem atraindo diversificados segmentos de público para as salas de cinema e movimentando um rico filão da indústria do entretenimento. Um exemplo relevante são as edições Marvel Noir: várias séries publicadas recentemente e que apresentam as aventuras dos heróis e super-heróis reinterpretadas de acordo com pressupostos estéticos do estilo noir. Com suas sinistras cidades imersas nas sombras, tais narrativas apresentam ostensivas reverberações dos filmes noir, que tiveram seu apogeu entre 1940 e 1960. Minha abordagem deste recente fenômeno transmidiático centra-se na observação de como as narrativas sequenciais ligadas ao universo de um tipo de quadrinhos, as graphic novels, tendem a marcar sua presença num nicho expressivo da indústria cinematográfica atual. Devido à expansão das adaptações fílmicas das GNs, o clima de mistério e inquietação em espaços urbanos noturnos e violentos, parece ter tomado de assalto as telas contemporâneas. Como um marcante estilo de época, bastante próximo da estética do cinema expressionista alemão, que lhe é anterior, a cinematografia noir tem sido continuamente revisitada por cineastas da atualidade.
