    Copyright 2013 Shawn Patrick Gilmore THE INVENTION OF THE GRAPHIC NOVEL: UNDERGROUND COMIX AND CORPORATE AESTHETICS BY SHAWN PATRICK GILMORE DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2013 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor Michael Rothberg, Chair Professor Cary Nelson Associate Professor James Hansen Associate Professor Stephanie Foote ii Abstract This dissertation explores what I term the invention of the graphic novel, or more specifically, the process by which stories told in comics (or graphic narratives) form became longer, more complex, concerned with deeper themes and symbolism, and formally more coherent, ultimately requiring a new publication format, which came to be known as the graphic novel. This format was invented in fits and starts throughout the twentieth century, and I argue throughout this dissertation that only by examining the nuances of the publishing history of twentieth-century comics can we fully understand the process by which the graphic novel emerged. In particular, I show that previous studies of the history of comics tend to focus on one of two broad genealogies: 1) corporate, commercially-oriented, typically superhero-focused comic books, produced by teams of artists; 2) individually-produced, counter-cultural, typically autobiographical underground comix and their subsequent progeny. In this dissertation, I bring these two genealogies together, demonstrating that we can only truly understand the evolution of comics toward the graphic novel format by considering the movement of artists between these two camps and the works that they produced along the way.

  • 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.

    Critical Survey of Graphic Novels LOVE AND ROCKETS LOVE AND ROCKETS Author: Hernandez, Gilbert; Hernandez, Jaime; Her- nandez, Mario Artist: Gilbert Hernandez (illustrator); Jaime Her- nandez (illustrator); Mario Hernandez (illustrator); Jeff Johnson (colorist); Rhea Patton (colorist); Chris Brownrigg (colorist); Steven Weissman (colorist) Publisher: Fantagraphics Books First serial publication: 1982-1996; 2001-2007; 2008- First book publication: 1985- Publication History Soon after brothers Mario, Gilbert, and Jaime Her- nandez self-published their first issue of Love and Rockets in 1981, it caught the eye of Fantagraphics publisher Gary Groth. In 1982, Groth republished the inaugural issue; the first series ofLove and Rockets ran for fifty issues, ending in 1996. All issues in the orig- inal volume were magazine-size, and the comics were black and white. The art duties for the color covers al- ternated between Gilbert and Jaime; one would draw the front cover and the other the back cover, then switching responsibilities for the following issue. Love and Rockets. (Courtesy of Fantagraphics Books) After the end of the first series, Jaime and Gilbert began working on separate titles that continued many large omnibus collections, and Love and Rockets Li- of the stories in the original Love and Rockets. In brary editions. 2001, the brothers began their second series of Love and Rockets, which ran for twenty issues, until 2007. Plot Although these issues were smaller than the originals, Love and Rockets contains a variety of narrative arcs, they nonetheless retained a similar format: color covers many of which have convoluted plots. The two pri- illustrated by Jaime and Gilbert and black-and-white mary stories, however, concern the associations of the content written and illustrated by all three brothers.

  • 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).

  • By ALEC LONGSTRETH Distributed by Adhouse Books Diamond Order
    Contact: Alec Longstreth • [email protected] FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE More info: www.alec-longstreth.com/basewood/ a graphic novel TEN YEARS in the making! by ALEC LONGSTRETH “Drawn with delicate precision, brimming with heart and adventure, Basewood is an exquisite gem of a work. It’s a genuine miracle that a comic this beautifully unique exists at all.” – James Kochalka “Longstreth’s deceptively simple drawings of this harsh world filled with axes, ropes, pulleys, and levers, a place where you must bend nature with your bare hands to survive, have a layered intricacy that looks like something that should be carved on a medieval cathedral. One of my favorite books to spend time with.” – Jeff Smith “Alec Longstreth is the most generous and enthusiastic cartoonist I’ve ever met, and his work brims over with that same contagious energy. His greatest work to date, Basewood, is a full sensory immersion into a meticulously-crafted, warm-hearted, and most of all epic world.” – Craig Thompson ABOUT BASEWOOD: Adventure! Mystery! Tree houses! A Wolf-Dragon! Basewood tells the story of a young man who wakes up in the woods, with no memory of how he got there. The reader follows along as our hero tries to uncover the details of his mysterious past. Drawn in a highly-detailed crosshatching style, this graphic novel took over ten years to write and draw. This beautiful, hardback edition of Basewood was funded by a wildly successful Kickstarter campaign that surpassed its $10,000 funding goal after only 48 hours. A French translation of Basewood was published by L’employé du Moi in 2012, and now the book is finally available here in the United States.

TIME, MEMORY, NOSTALGIA THE NINTH INTERNATIONAL GRAPHIC NOVEL AND COMICS CONFERENCE WEDNESDAY 27TH – FRIDAY 29TH JUNE 2018 BOURNEMOUTH UNIVERSITY, UK Retro – a looking to the past – is everywhere in contemporary culture. Cultural critics like Jameson argue that retro and nostalgia are symptoms of postmodernism – that we can pick and choose various items and cultural phenomena from different eras and place them together in a pastiche that means little and decontextualizes their historicity. However, as Bergson argues in Memory and Matter, the senses evoke memories, and popular culture artefacts like comics can bring the past to life in many ways. The smell and feel of old paper can trigger memories just as easily as revisiting an old haunt or hearing a piece of music from one’s youth. As fans and academics we often look to the past to tell us about the present. We may argue about the supposed ‘golden age’ of comics. Our collecting habits may even define our lifestyles and who we are. But nostalgia has its dark side and some regard this continuous looking to the past as a negative emotion in which we aim to restore a lost adolescence. In Mediated Nostalgia, Ryan Lizardi argues that the contemporary media fosters narcissistic nostalgia ‘to develop individualized pasts that are defined by idealized versions of beloved lost media texts’ (2). This argument suggests that fans are media dupes lost in a reverie of nostalgic melancholia; but is belied by the diverse responses of fandom to media texts. Moreover, ‘retro’ can be taken to imply an ironic appropriation.
