Matt Feazell 2627 Pulaski • Hamtramck, MI 48212 Voice: 313-365-5929 • Email: [email protected] For Immediate Release The Amazing Cynicalman, America's Laid-Off Superhero, continues his fight for truth, justice and a second cup of coffee in a new 150-page collection of his weekly newspaper comic strips. Cynicalman is written and drawn by Matt Feazell, a freelance graphic artist living in Hamtramck, Michigan and a regular contributor to Disney Adventures Magazine. His comic strip ran in a short list of Michigan newspapers including Orbit Magazine and the Detroit Metro Times from 1997 to 2002. Feazell started drawing stick-figure superhero comics in junior high school back in his home town in Iowa. “Everybody starts out drawing stick figures,” said Feazell. “I just stuck with it longer than most.” Cynicalman started out starring in photocopied, 8-page minicomics. He first appeared as a Life In Hell-style newspaper comic strip in Orbit Magazine when Feazell worked there as Advertising Art Director. It was picked up by Metro Times when Orbit folded and branched out to other Michigan weeklies from there. The Amazing Cynicalman paperback is Feazell's third book and the first one he has self-published. His first two books, Cynicalman, The Paperback (1987, ThunderBaas Press) and ERT! (1995, Caliber Books) collected Cynicalman's minicomic appearances. The new book collects the entire run of the Cynicalman weekly. It has a color cover with black and white interior pages, the cover price is $9.95 and the ISBN number is 0-9744767-0-6. The book is available at Feazell's web site (www.cynicalman.com), and at Green Brain Comics in Dearborn, Michigan. --30--.

Erasing the Lines Between Leisure and Labor: Creative Work in the Comics World
Benjamin Woo Erasing the Lines between Leisure and Labor: Creative Work in the Comics World Abstract One of the most remarkable features of comics creators is their overwhelming identification as fans, reflecting not only a generic tendency of creative industries to recruit from among subcultures but also the historical relationships between the comics industry and its fans. This article approaches comics as a media industry and site of creative labor, drawing on the results of a large-scale survey of comics creators. While high levels of affective engagement with work mean that many report themselves as satisfied with their working situation, the de-differentiation of labor and leisure presents a risk of self-exploitation. Introduction Superman’s publisher, DC Comics, Siegel and Shuster negotiated a number of compensatory deals All things considered, the last few years have been over their lifetimes, but both died without fully good to the comic book industry. As relatively participating in the material rewards their creation inexpensive entertainment commodities, comic books have traditionally been viewed as recession- generated. Artist Jack Kirby was not recognized for proof,1 and indeed sales have improved since his contributions as an originator of characters and a late-2000s slump. Despite some hiccups and story concepts at Marvel Comics during the 1960s, controversies, the audience of comics readers is and much of his original artwork was simply stolen expanding beyond the core group of “comic book from him by Marvel, who claimed many pages were guys” who were the industry’s primary market since lost or stolen and withheld others until he signed 2 documents relinquishing any claims to ownership the 1970s.

The modern comic derives from what many term "the golden age," specifically with the introduction of Superman. The "man of steel" triggered a fascination with comic book heroes; heroes who took flawed forms in the 1960s. Today, the comic serves not only as a vehicle for super-heroes, but also as a channel for political thought, education, alternative culture, and critiques of society. Contemporary interest in the comic trade, spurred by conventions and independent distribution, fosters a creative environment in which new genres and edgy content drive the scene. Access Terms This collection is indexed under the following controlled access subject terms. Topical Term: Comic books, strips, etc.

Exposé Für Die Master Thesis / Masterarbeit Im Rahmen
Master Thesis im Rahmen des Universitätslehrganges Library and Information Studies MSc an der Universität Wien in Kooperation mit der Österreichischen Nationalbibliothek Comics und die Bibliothek: Zum Beginn einer späten Freundschaft? Das Comic als Forschungsgegenstand und seine Stellung innerhalb des wissenschaftlichen Bibliotheksbetriebs zur Erlangung des Grades Master of Science eingereicht von Beate Lang bei Dr. Wolfram Seidler Wien, 2013 © Pierre Maurel: Blackbird 2011 Zusammenfassung Aufgrund eines Mangels an institutioneller Akzeptanz werden Comics in wissenschaftlichen Bibliotheken so gut wie nicht gesammelt. Die Rezeption von Comics wurde jahrelang mit einem geringen Maß an Bildung und mit einem Verlust von Lesekompetenz in Verbindung gebracht. Obwohl visuelle Medien immer wichtiger werden, begann eine Akademisierung des Comics-Diskurses nur schleppend. In den letzten Jahren wurden Comics vom kulturellen wie wissenschaftlichen Betrieb verstärkt als ernstzunehmender Gegenstand wahrgenommen. Zum einen gewann das Lesen von Comics an Zustimmung, zum anderen begann die Wissenschaft – vorerst im angloamerikanischen Raum, später auch in Europa – sich in zahlreichen Disziplinen mit Comics zu beschäftigen. Comics gewinnen an Bedeutung als Quelle und als literarische Form. Nun liegt es an den Bibliotheken, diesem Wissenschaftstrend entgegenzukommen und hinreichend Sekundär- und vor allem auch Primärliteratur zur Verfügung zu stellen. Eine Recherche nach Comics in entsprechenden Katalogen deckt allerdings die defizitäre Handhabung in wissenschaftlichen
