    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Boilerplate History's Mechanical Marvel by Paul Guinan Paul Guinan. Multimedia artist Paul Guinan is a founding member of Helioscope Studio, the largest collective of comic book creators in North America. He started out at First Comics, retouching art on one of the first manga translations published in the U.S., Lone Wolf and Cub . While at First, he co- created Cargonauts , a precursor to Firefly . Paul later teamed up with writer John Francis Moore to create the time-traveling hero Chronos for DC Comics. With his wife, Anina Bennett, he created the groundbreaking science fiction series Heartbreakers , about a team of female clones, which debuted in Dark Horse Presents in 1989. Paul’s innovative art for their graphic novel Heartbreakers Meet Boilerplate was nominated for an Eisner Award. In 2000 he created online stories about Boilerplate, a mechanical soldier at the turn of the previous century, that garnered international media coverage. Most recently, Paul collaborated with Anina on the unique illustrated historical/science fiction books Boilerplate: History’s Mechanical Marvel (expanding on his earlier short stories) and Frank Reade: Adventures in the Age of Invention . His current project is an historical comic book series titled Aztec Empire , about the fall of the Aztec, with artist David Hahn. About Boilerplate. Boilerplate: History’s Mechanical Marvel , ostensibly the biography of a 19th-century robot soldier, is an illustrated hardcover book that deftly blends historical fiction with science fiction. It dramatizes formative events at the dawn of the 20th century through tales of the robot and its inventor, Archibald Campion, who thinks his machine can “prevent the deaths of men in the conflicts of nations.” Boilerplate charges into combat alongside Teddy Roosevelt and Lawrence of Arabia, builds railroads in Africa, makes silent movies, and more, all while hobnobbing with the likes of Mark Twain and Nikola Tesla.

The years between the late 1960s and the late 1990s were tumultuous for the comic book industry. At the societal level, these years were saturated with changes that challenged normative ideas of sex roles and gender. The goal of this study is two-fold: it documents the specific contributions to the comic book industry made by the women interviewed, and it addresses research questions that focus on gender, change, and comic books.

Dedicated to Jenica, Gunnar, and Dacy Abstract Despite its growing popularity in books, film, games, fashion, and décor, a suitable definition for steampunk remains elusive. Debates in online forums seek to arrive at a cogent definition, ranging from narrowly restricting and exclusionary definitions, to uselessly inclusive indefinitions. The difficulty in defining steampunk stems from the evolution of the term as a literary sub-genre of science fiction (SF) to a sub-culture of Goth fashion, Do-It-Yourself (DIY) arts and crafts movements, and more recently, as ideological counter-culture. Accordingly, defining steampunk unilaterally is challenged by what aspect of steampunk culture is being defined.
