Thesis Examination Committee: ______________________________________ Advisor Abigail McGowan, Ph.D ______________________________________ Melanie Gustafson, Ph.D ______________________________________ Chairperson Elizabeth Fenton, Ph.D ______________________________________ Dean, Graduate College Domenico Grasso, Ph.D March 22, 2013 Abstract At just under thirty years the serious academic study of American comic books is relatively young. Over the course of three decades most historians familiar with the medium have recognized that American comics, since becoming a mass-cultural product in 1939, have matured beyond their humble beginnings as a monthly publication for children. However, historians are not yet in agreement as to when the medium became mature. This thesis proposes that the medium’s maturity was cemented between 1985 and 2000, a much later point in time than existing texts postulate. The project involves the analysis of how an American mass medium, in this case the comic book, matured in the last two decades of the twentieth century. The goal is to show the interconnected relationships and factors that facilitated the maturation of the American sequential art, specifically a focus on a group of British writers working at DC Comics and Vertigo, an alternative imprint under the financial control of DC.

Transatlantic Exchanges and Cultural Constructs: Vertigo Comics and the British Invasion Isabelle Licari-Guillaume Introduction Mainstream US comics, with their emphasis on the superhero genre, are often presented as the epitome of Americanness. Indeed, characters such as Superman (self-styled champion of “truth, justice, and the American way”), Captain America (who was depicted punching Hitler on the cover of Captain America Comics #1 in March 1941) or Wonder Woman (who literally wears the Star-Spangled Banner) have come to symbolize American cultural hegemony in an increasingly globalized world. Despite this strong national anchorage, however, the American tradition did not develop in a vacuum: comics scholars have shown how European productions influenced US creators over the years (Gabilliet, 2005; Labarre, 2017), or how the arrival of manga in the 2000s helped transform the industry (Brienza, 2016).
