Prof. Dr. Fritz Hausjell 2 Hinweis: Bezeichnungen wie "Autor" (oder auch später "Zeichner", "Rezipient" etc.) finden im Rahmen dieser Arbeit keinen geschlechtsspezifischen, sondern eine generische Verwendung, welche "Zeichnerin" ("Autorin", "Rezipientin" etc.) impliziert. Ebenso soll darauf hingewiesen werden, dass die Bezeichnung "Deutschland" (sowie "Bundesrepublik") in dieser Arbeit für die von 1949 bis 1990 bestehende Bundesrepublik Deutschland verwendet wird. 3 4 Danksagung Mein besonderer Dank gilt Herrn Prof. Hausjell für die verständnisvolle Betreuung und dafür, dass er mir stets mit seinem umfangreichen Wissen und seiner Erfahrung hilfreich zur Seite stand und sich immer wieder Zeit nahm, mich zu beraten. Außerdem danke ich meiner wundervollen Familie - Mama, Papa und meiner Schwester Kisi - die mich immer unterstützt, fleißig Korrektur gelesen und mir Feedback gegeben haben; meinem (äußerst geduldigen) Freund Andreas, der mir stetig Mut gemacht, mir zugehört und mich beraten hat, sowie meinen wunderbaren Freundinnen Milena und Réka, die gleichzeitig an ihren Arbeiten schrieben, sodass wir uns - wie schon während des gesamten Studiums - gegenseitig stützen und motivieren konnten. Auch bei meinem Tutor des ersten und zweiten Semesters, Georg, möchte ich mich bedanken. Sein Comic-Tutorium brachte mich gleich im ersten Semester auf den Weg zum Diplomarbeitsthema. 5 6 Inhaltsverzeichnis 1.

Abstract ....................................................................................................... 163 8 9 10 1. Einleitung Der Comic ist die demokratischste aller Kunstformen, weil jeder ihn lesen und verstehen kann. (Platthaus, 2000, 11) Jeder kennt sie, jeder hat sie bereits einmal in der Hand gehabt oder war mit ihnen konfrontiert: Comics. Doch die Meinungen über das Medium gehen auseinander. Sind Comics Kunst? Sind sie Literatur? Sind sie triviale Unterhaltung oder können Comics auch ernsthafte Themen aufgreifen und adäquat bearbeiten? So sehr die einzelnen Meinungen innerhalb der Bevölkerung differieren, so sehr unterscheidet sich auch die Rolle, die Comics in einzelnen Staaten spielen. Sie werden in manchen Ländern, wie beispielsweise in den USA, als Kulturerbe gesehen, haben einen hohen Status und werden auch auf akademischem Niveau wissenschaftlich analysiert und untersucht. Andere Länder wiederum haben es bis heute nicht geschafft, das Medium als legitime Kunstform aufzugreifen und eine Comicwissenschaft zu etablieren. So steckt die Comicforschung etwa im deutschsprachigen Raum noch immer in den Kinderschuhen und muss sich immer wieder von Neuem rechtfertigen. Zwar werden bestimmte Comics in den Feuilletons ausgewählter Tageszeitungen aufgegriffen und neben "echter" Literatur rezensiert, jedoch handelt es sich dabei oftmals um spezielle, herausragende Werke, die aufgrund ihrer "Andersartigkeit" und ihrer Unterscheidung von den restlichen Comics ausgewählt werden. Comics entstanden zur gleichen Zeit wie das Medium Film1, jedoch kommt letzterem innerhalb der Presse und auch der Wissenschaft eine weitaus größere Bedeutung zu. Film wurde bald als künstlerisch betrachtet, die Stars und auch die Produktionen fanden in den Tageszeitungen große Publicity, während Comics weitestgehend ignoriert wurden und in Artikeln keine Erwähnung fanden. Harald Havas und Gerhard Habarta führen dies darauf zurück, dass der Film zur damaligen Zeit eine großartige Neuheit war und sich stetig weiterentwickelte, etwa zu Ton- und Farbfilm sowie heutzutage zu 3-D-Filmen. Weiters legte die 1 Als erster Film wird der Kurzfilm "Arbeiter verlassen die Lumière-Werke" der Brüder Lumière angesehen, der am 22. März 1895 in Paris präsentiert wurde (vgl. Faulstich, 2005, 19) . 11 Filmindustrie auch großen Wert auf Berichterstattung in den Tageszeitungen. Das Medium Comic hingegen konnte nichts Neuartiges bieten - die Verschmelzung von Text und Bild war durch Buchillustrationen oder Karikaturen bereits bekannt. Die wohl größte Aufmerksamkeit bekamen Comics unfreiwillig in den 50er Jahren des 20. Jahrhunderts, als Jugendschützer eine groß angelegte Kampagne gegen das Medium ins Leben riefen. Selbst den Verfilmungen von Comics wurde stets mehr Beachtung geschenkt als den gezeichneten Werken selbst. Havas und Habarta führen dies wiederum darauf zurück, dass die Illustration in ihrer Entwicklung immer mehr als ein Kunsthandwerk gesehen wurde, was schlussendlich auch dazu führte, dass selbst die Comiczeichner ihre Arbeit nicht als künstlerisches Schaffen verstanden und die Verlage dieses scheinbar "minderwertige" Produkt nicht besonders bewarben (vgl. Havas/Habarta, 1992, 189f). Ebenso trugen die Inhalte der Comics zu dieser Geringschätzung bei. Die bekanntesten Genres sind Superhelden-, Action-, Abenteuer- oder schlichtweg unterhaltende Comics. Auch diesen Kategorien angehörende literarische Texte genießen kein derart hohes Ansehen wie etwa dramatische Werke, da ihnen scheinbar die notwendige Seriosität zur Behandlung relevanter Themen fehlt (vgl. Havas/Habarta, 1992, 190). Auch innerhalb der Publizistik- und

  • AIR FORCE Magazine / July 2007 42
    A Brush With the Air Force 42 AIR FORCE Magazine / July 2007 prototype for Corkin was Air Force Col. Milton Caniff was out front with “Terry and Philip Cochran, a noted World War II pilot and leader of air commandos in the Pirates,” but other cartoonists also found Burma. (See “The All-American Air- their calling in the wild blue yonder. man,” March 2000, p. 52.) He became a continuing character in “Terry.” In a famous “Terry and the Pirates” Sunday page from 1943, Corkin opened with, “Let’s take a walk, Terry,” and then delivered an inspirational talk about A Brush With the war and the Air Force as he and the newly fledged pilot Terry strolled around the flight line. The page was “read” into the Congressional Record and reported in the newspapers. Terry, Flip, and their colleagues had a great following among airmen, and the Air Force By John T. Correll the strip had considerable morale and public relations value. Gen. Henry H. “Hap” Arnold, Chief of the Army Air Forces, assigned an officer to as- sist Caniff with any technical details he needed. Caniff produced another strip, “Male Call,” without charge for camp and base newspapers. It featured Miss Lace, who was reminiscent of the Dragon Lady but less standoffish. It is difficult today to comprehend what a big deal the funnies used to be. Everybody read the comic strips. Characters were as well known as movie stars. The strips were printed much larger than present comic strips are. On Sunday, a popular strip might get a whole color page to itself.

In various inter- views Barks had referred to the “Landon correspondence course in cartooning” he’d taken when he was sixteen. Fascinated, I tried to find a copy of Landon’s course. After a couple of years of searching on eBay and other auction houses – where I was only able to find partial copies – I finally tracked down a com- plete copy from a New York rare book dealer. In the meantime, my research revealed that more than a few cartoonists from Barks’s generation had taken the Landon course.

In the span of five years, the balance of power in the comic book field had changed dramatically. Industry leader Dell had fallen out of favor thanks to a 1962 split with client Western Publications that resulted in the latter producing comics for themselves—much of it licensed properties—as the widely-respected Gold Key Comics.
