High! Phew! I Don't mean to spoil the surprise, but a quick look at the front section of this issue will demonstrate the dangers of limited prosperity. After two years of typing all copy in an extremely awkward and time-consuming fashion, we have finally been able to get some new, "modern" equipment. It's a Justowriter, for those who know what that means; basically, it cuts production time almost in half, which gives us a lot more time to concen­ trate on the good things, like better copy and artwork. Unfor­ tunately, our "modern" equipment is fifteen years old, and not quite in perfect working order, but the bugs are being worked out. Also, the machine forces some changes in layout which we haven't quite mastered yet, so there's a certain awkwardness in parts that we're sorry about. Maybe next issue we'll have it all together again. ^1^1 We are very pleased to be able to include VDRSVP, a West Coast literary broadsheet in the finest sense of the term and tradition, in this issue's second section. VDRSP is edited in San Francisco by Jan Jacob Herman (29-B Guy Place, SF 94105), who used to edit SAN FRANCISCO EARTHQUAKE, one of the finest little mags of the past few years. The broadsheet will ap­ pear periodically as a second section insert. And coming soon (like, maybe next issue) to the second section are excerpts from Ed Sanders' novel-in-progress. The work deals with the already legendary Chicago convention week of last year. We'll bring you as much of it as we can get our hands on; Sanders hopes to complete the work by August, at which time H'll be, published as a book in NYC. There have been some strange developments at Water Tower park fountain the last couple of days, and no one seems to know what they mean. The area is being patrolled more frequently, and some people have been busted for getting into the water. Whether they're about to crack down hard on other "rules"--like no walk­ ing on the grass and no sitting on the edge of the pool—isn't cer­ tain yet. If they try a crackdown, last year's flareup will look like fairy tale games compared to what'll go doion this time. Anyway, stay alert. And watch the parking meters. :iMIIII»IIIIIIIIIIMIIIIIIIIHIIIIIIIHIIIIIimilMMIIIIHIIIHIIIIMIIIIIIIlMHIIIIIIIHIIIHIIIIIIinillinuUIIIIIIIIIIIMIIMIUIMIIIIIimiUIIIIIIIIIIIIUIIUIIIHIIIIIHItM Sclilifz-The Beer That ittaile If ililein RICH A Schlitz picket said, "If you with the same pay.

    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.

At the turn of the century, most of what is now Rich­ mond, San Pablo, and El Cerrito was owned by descendants and heirs of Don Francisco Maria Castro and by farmers and cattle ranchers who had trekked westward to the Promised Land after the close of the Civil War and purchased land without securing legal title. The Castro heirs were a bitter, disappointed lot. Prior to 189^# the great San Pablo Rancho, comprising a substantial por­ tion of what is now urban Richmond, had been theirs. But on that, fateful year, and after four long, weary decades of controversy, the court handed down a landmark decision which, in effect, broke up the former Spanish Land Grants into diverse ownerships, leav­ ing little to the Castro offspring. Painful as the decision was* the doors were opened for speedier land development. Among the beneficiaries of the great land partition was John Nicholl, a jovial but shrewd old country Irishman, who was awarded 152 acres of a rough, hilly peninsula jutting into San Francisco Bay and identified as Point Richmond on old United States geodetic survey maps.

    ORE Open Research Exeter TITLE Art Spiegelman’s ‘Little Signs of Passion’ and the Emergence of Hard-Core Pornographic Feature Film AUTHORS Williams, PG JOURNAL Textual Practice DEPOSITED IN ORE 20 August 2018 This version available at http://hdl.handle.net/10871/33778 COPYRIGHT AND REUSE Open Research Exeter makes this work available in accordance with publisher policies. A NOTE ON VERSIONS The version presented here may differ from the published version. If citing, you are advised to consult the published version for pagination, volume/issue and date of publication Art Spiegelman’s ‘Little Signs of Passion’ and the emergence of hard-core pornographic feature film Paul Williams In 1973 Bob Schneider and the underground comix1 creator Art Spiegelman compiled Whole Grains: A Book of Quotations. One of the aphorisms included in their book came from D. H. Lawrence: ‘What is pornography to one man is the laughter of genius to another’.2 Taking a cue from this I will explore how Spiegelman’s comic ‘Little Signs of Passion’ (1974) turned sexually explicit subject matter into an exuberant narratological experiment. This three-page text begins by juxtaposing romance comics against hard-core pornography,3 the former appearing predictable and artificial, the latter raw and shocking, but this initial contrast breaks down; rebutting the defenders of pornography who argued that it represented a welcome liberation from repressive sexual morality, ‘Little Signs of Passion’ reveals how hard-core filmmakers turned fellatio and the so-called money shot (a close-up of visible penile ejaculation) into standardised narrative conventions yielding lucrative returns at the box office.

Supervisor: Brad Vice, Ph.D. The object of this undergraduate thesis is to map the development of sequential art, comics, in the form of respectable art form influencing contemporary other artistic areas. Modern comics were developed between the World Wars primarily in the United States of America and therefore became a typical part of American culture. The thesis is divided into three major parts. The first part called Sequential Art as a Medium discusses in brief the history of sequential art, which dates back to ancient world. The chapter continues with two sections analyzing the comic medium from the theoretical point of view. The second part inquires the origin of the comic book industry, its cultural environment, and consequently the birth of modern comic book.

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. The stuffily-named National Periodical Publications—later better known as DC Comics—had seized the number one spot for itself al- though its flagship Superman title could only claim the honor of
