  • The Nemedian Chroniclers #22 [WS16]
    REHeapa Winter Solstice 2016 By Lee A. Breakiron A WORLDWIDE PHENOMENON Few fiction authors are as a widely published internationally as Robert E. Howard (e.g., in Bulgarian, Croatian, Czech, Dutch, Estonian, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Lithuanian, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Slovak, Spanish, Swedish, Turkish, and Yugoslavian). As former REHupan Vern Clark states: Robert E. Howard has long been one of America’s stalwarts of Fantasy Fiction overseas, with extensive translations of his fiction & poetry, and an ever mushrooming distribution via foreign graphic story markets dating back to the original REH paperback boom of the late 1960’s. This steadily increasing presence has followed the growing stylistic and market influence of American fantasy abroad dating from the initial translations of H.P. Lovecraft’s Arkham House collections in Spain, France, and Germany. The growth of the HPL cult abroad has boded well for other American exports of the Weird Tales school, and with the exception of the Lovecraft Mythos, the fantasy fiction of REH has proved the most popular, becoming an international literary phenomenon with translations and critical publications in Spain, Germany, France, Greece, Poland, Japan, and elsewhere. [1] All this shows how appealing REH’s exciting fantasy is across cultures, despite inevitable losses in stylistic impact through translations. Even so, there is sometimes enough enthusiasm among readers to generate fandom activities and publications. We have already covered those in France. [2] Now let’s take a look at some other countries. GERMANY, AUSTRIA, AND SWITZERLAND The first Howard stories published in German were in the fanzines Pioneer #25 and Lands of Wonder ‒ Pioneer #26 (Austratopia, Vienna) in 1968 and Pioneer of Wonder #28 (Follow, Passau, Germany) in 1969.

  • Copyright 2013 Shawn Patrick Gilmore
    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.

  • Conan De Aquilonia Robert E
    Conan de Aquilonia Robert E. Howard Introducción de L. Sprague de Camp y Lim Carter Librodot Conan de Aquilonia Robert E. Howard 2 INTRODUCCIÓN De todos los héroes de la fantasía heroica, el más poderoso, viril y musculoso es sin duda Conan de Cimmeria. Conan fue creado por Robert E. Howard (1906-1936), que nació en Peaster, Texas, pero pasó la mayor parte de su corta vida en Cross Plains, una ciudad del centro de la misma Texas. Durante la última década de su vida, Howard escribió y publicó una gran cantidad de relatos de ficción menores (lo que los norteamericanos llaman pulp fíction) de diversos géneros: deportivos, de detectives, del Oeste, histórico, de ciencia ficción, relatos fantásticos, y cuentos de misterio y de fantasmas. A los treinta años de edad puso fin a una prometedora carrera literaria suicidándose. Howard es uno de los ocho autores de relatos fantásticos cuyas ventas han superado el millón de ejemplares, pero, por desgracia, el éxito le llegó después de su muerte. Howard era un narrador nato, cuyos relatos no han sido superados en cuanto a realismo, interés y dinamismo de la acción. Sus héroes —el rey Kull, Conan, Solomon Kane— tienen carácter mítico: se trata de hombres de músculos poderosos, pasiones ardientes y voluntad indomable, que imponen su personalidad en las historias que protagonizan. Representan el polo opuesto del antihéroe que se ha vuelto tan popular recientemente. Howard escribió varias series de relatos de fantasía heroica (también llamados de «espada y brujería»), publicados en su mayor parte en Weird Tales. Esta revista apareció entre 1923 y 1953, y en tiempos de Howard era la única publicación que daba salida a la literatura fantástica.

  • Shields, Grounds and Microphone Cables
    Shields, grounds and microphone cables Shields, grounds and microphone cables By Bill Whitlock There is an old joke that the definition of a cable is “a source of potential trouble connecting two other sources of potential trouble” – that is worth chewing on. All signals accumulate noise as they flow through equipment and the connecting wires, and once noise has contaminated a signal it is essentially impossible to remove it without altering or degrading the original signal. For this reason no system can be quieter than its noisiest link. Noise and interference must be prevented from entering any part of the signal path, and the most vulnerable areas are usually the signal interfaces. The level of noise that is tolerable in an analogue pathway depends on many things but for a professional microphone – a primary signal Fig 1—The impedance of 3m (10ft) of 2.5 2mm (12#) copper wire source – most users would like it to be low enough to allow a dynamic range of >120dB. significant 0.015 Ω.

  • Disentangling Dense Multi-Cable Knots
    Disentangling Dense Multi-Cable Knots Vainavi Viswanath∗1, Jennifer Grannen∗1, Priya Sundaresan∗1, Brijen Thananjeyan1, Ashwin Balakrishna1, Ellen Novoseller1, Jeffrey Ichnowski1, Michael Laskey2, Joseph E. Gonzalez1, Ken Goldberg1 Abstract— Disentangling two or more cables requires many steps to remove crossings between and within cables. We formal- ize the problem of disentangling multiple cables and present an algorithm, Iterative Reduction Of Non-planar Multiple cAble kNots (IRON-MAN), that outputs robot actions to remove crossings from multi-cable knotted structures. We instantiate this algorithm with a learned perception system, inspired by prior work in single-cable untying that given an image input, can disentangle two-cable twists, three-cable braids, and knots of two or three cables, such as overhand, square, carrick bend, sheet bend, crown, and fisherman’s knots. IRON-MAN keeps track of task-relevant keypoints corresponding to target cable endpoints and crossings and iteratively disentangles the cables by identifying and undoing crossings that are critical to knot structure. Using a da Vinci surgical robot, we experimentally evaluate the effectiveness of IRON-MAN on untangling multi- cable knots of types that appear in the training data, as well as generalizing to novel classes of multi-cable knots. Results suggest that IRON-MAN is effective in disentangling knots involving up to three cables with 80.5% success and generalizing to knot types that are not present during training, with cables of both distinct or identical colors. Fig. 1: Overview of IRON-MAN: IRON-MAN (Iterative Reduction Of Non-planar Multiple cAble kNots) is an algorithm for disentanglement of I.

Next, big thanks to my son Nicholas for endless research. From the age of three, the kid had the good taste to request the Marvel Masterworks for bedtime stories over Mother Goose. He still holds the record as the youngest contributor to The Jack Kirby Collector (see issue #21). Shout-out to my partners in rock ’n’ roll, the incomparable Hitmen—the best band and best pals I’ve ever had.
