Their creators Joe Shuster, Harold Foster, Dave Sim, and Todd iYBMFXBZt McFarlane are Canadians. And while many of the cutting-edge talents of w43L6qC5T contemporary comix and graphic novels are also from Canada artists such as URGULDFXw Chester Brown, Seth, Dave Cooper, and Julie Doucet far too few Canadians FRy8oF8H6 realize their country had a remarkable involvement with the "funnies" long before. Invaders from the North profiles past and present comic geniuses, sheds light on unjustly neglected chapters in Canadas pop history, and demonstrates how this nation has vaulted to the forefront of international comic art, successfully challenging the long-established boundaries between high and low culture. Generously illustrated with black-and-white and colour comic covers and panels, Invaders from the North serves up a cheeky, brash cavalcade of flamboyant and outrageous personalities and characters that graphically attest to Canadas verve and invention in the world of visual storytelling..

Toward an Aesthetics and Politics of Guilt in American
UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Responsibility, Freedom, and the State: Toward an Aesthetics and Politics of Guilt in American Literature, 1929-1960 A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Comparative Literature by Timothy Jeffrey Haehn 2014 © Copyright by Timothy Jeffrey Haehn 2014 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Responsibility, Freedom, and the State: Toward an Aesthetics and Politics of Guilt in American Literature, 1929-1960 By Timothy Jeffrey Haehn Doctor of Philosophy in Comparative Literature University of California, Los Angeles, 2014 Professor Eleanor K. Kaufman, Chair This dissertation proposes a fundamental reassessment of guilt in twentieth-century American literature. I claim that guilt ought to be understood not so much in relation to the Holocaust or the history of U.S. race relations as in relation to the state. In readings of Mary McCarthy, Richard Wright, J. D. Salinger, Arthur Miller, and Saul Bellow, as well as the early Superman comics and fiction and criticism that invoke Fyoder Dostoevsky’s work, this project demonstrates how authors of fiction and popular culture mobilize feelings of responsibility and guilt to symbolize anxieties over the diminished role of the state as a vehicle for public relief. As the federal government jettisoned burdens that it had borne since the Depression, the writers in question depict various mechanisms employed by individuals to absorb state burdens and to compensate for the reduced availability of state-backed relief. With renewed emphasis on existential categories such as guilt, freedom, and anxiety, I trace tensions at the core of mid- twentieth-century narratives that situate them squarely within the problematics of antistatism.

Romaguera APPROVED: Dissertation Committee: Major Professor Valerie Karno Carolyn Betensky Ian Reyes Nasser H. Zawia DEAN OF THE GRADUATE SCHOOL UNIVERSITY OF RHODE ISLAND 2017 Abstract This dissertation explores the author-text-reader relationship throughout the publication of works of serial fiction in different media. Following Pierre Bourdieu’s notion of authorial autonomy within the fields of cultural production, I trace the outside influence that nonauthorial agents infuse into the narrative production of the serialized. To further delve into the economic factors and media standards that encompass serial publishing, I incorporate David Hesmondhalgh’s study of market forces, originally used to supplement Bourdieu’s analysis of fields.

‘Yes, But What Have You Done for Me Lately?’: Intersections of Intellectual Property, Work-for-Hire, and The Struggle of the Creative Precariat in the American Comic Book Industry © 2019 By Ora Charles McWilliams Submitted to the graduate degree program in American Studies and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Co-Chair: Ben Chappell Co-Chair: Elizabeth Esch Henry Bial Germaine Halegoua Joo Ok Kim Date Defended: 10 May, 2019 ii The dissertation committee for Ora Charles McWilliams certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: ‘Yes, But What Have You Done for Me Lately?’: Intersections of Intellectual Property, Work-for-Hire, and The Struggle of the Creative Precariat in the American Comic Book Industry Co-Chair: Ben Chappell Co-Chair: Elizabeth Esch Date Approved: 24 May 2019 iii Abstract The comic book industry has significant challenges with intellectual property rights. Comic books have rarely been treated as a serious art form or cultural phenomenon. It used to be that creating a comic book would be considered shameful or something done only as side work. Beginning in the 1990s, some comic creators were able to leverage enough cultural capital to influence more media. In the post-9/11 world, generic elements of superheroes began to resonate with audiences; superheroes fight against injustices and are able to confront the evils in today’s America. This has created a billion dollar, Oscar-award-winning industry of superhero movies, as well as allowed created comic book careers for artists and writers.

The twenty-two stories were scripted by Superman co-creator Jerry Siegel, adapting then-current—and now classic—comic book tales by Robert Bernstein, Otto Binder, Leo Dorfman, Bill Finger, Edmond Hamilton, and himself. The covers are specially created by Pete Poplaski to evoke the look and artistic style of the times. Volume Two is an homage to Wayne Boring, and to Ira Schnapp, whose distinctive lettering defined DC’s style of the era.

CEREBUS REX in its entirety ---------------------------------------------- Cerebus Rex: Written by David R. Sanderson. Copyright 1991, 1992, 1995 David R. Sanderson Disclaimer: Cerebus and all related characters are copyrighted by Dave Sim. Cerebus Rex is a guide to Cerebus the Aardvark, and is not meant to infringe on any of Dave Sims rights or works. I do not discourage the redistribution of this guide, but do ask the following: 1) No monetary charge is to be made (as if anybody would pay money for this anyway.) It would be wrong to make money off of Sim's work (not to mention mine!) 2) All materials remain intact, including my name and this introductory material. _ ----------- _____| |_______________________ by: David R. CEREBUS REX (_____ _______________________ > Sanderson ----------- |_| Background: Cerebus started as the mascot for an ill-fated fanzine that Deni Loubert was trying to have published. The fanzine died at the press due to some alleged crooked business dealings by the printer. Deni and Dave Sim, Cerebus' creator, decided to try again. This time with a comic starring their cute fanzine mascot. They started a publishing firm called Aardvark-Vanaheim, the two names suggested by Deni's siblings. Dave was made President (and entire creative team), and Deni became publisher. The comic was to be called Cerberus the Aardvark, but Deni made a spelling error along the way. So we now have Cerebus the Aardvark. Some mistakes are for the best I think. Cerebus has grown into a well respected book with healthy sales, for an independent. It's sales peaked during the B&W explosion several years ago.

I haven't been updating the lj, because I don't like seeing people link to it instead of my website Hark! A Vagrant is still my home base and main source of comics-related income! But then Hark! A Vagrant didn't want to leave it either, so I think I can work the lj like the tumblr and just post a leading image. Just a little change, no big deal! With the site, twitter, tumblr and lj I feel like things are all over the place, and I'd like to keep things as tight but accessible! Click the link! May 14th,am. I made a comic for my mother yesterday, who has believed in my abilities longer and more fiercely than anyone else. You can find it here. February 21st,pm. You can find them here on my tumblr.

It only seemed natural to come back to the world of Hark! A Vagrant old friends. I like the idea of recurring characters in this strip, and that's why you're seeing more of it!
