Denny Showcase Presents: Batman: Volume 6 writes over half the stories, with Frank Robbins at the typewriter for the remainder. The Neil Adams art jobs are to be celebrated, but there are hundreds of pages by Irv Novick who admirably carried the ball on his stories. Underrated material that looks great in black in white His use Remember when Batman was actually a detective? His use of blacks are fantastic, making his pen and ink work on the series come fully to life. Jun 11, Skjam! Shelves: adventureauthor-obeat-the- backlistcomicsmysterypublishedsuperhero. Bythe Batman television show had been off the air long enough that its sales boost to the Batman and Detective Comics series had faded, and with it, the incentive to model the magazines on the show. Bruce Wayne moved from stately Wayne Manor to a penthouse in downtown Gotham City and started a charitable organization Showcase Presents: Batman: Volume 6 victims of crime. This freed up space for a more somber tone, although this run certainly had its own silliness, such as a return engagement by the Ten-Eyed Man, whose optic nerves had been transplanted into his fingers. And Two-Face made an appearance for the first official time since the s. But quite a few of the Showcase Presents: Batman: Volume 6 had Batman facing off against ordinary murderers and organized crime…as well as what appeared to be ghosts and psychic powers. This volume covers Batman and Detective Comics Several stories are topical to the s. Stories featuring youth activism and black radicals have aged poorly; the latter mixes in a police corruption subplot, the end of which supposedly fixes injustice in the legal system of Gotham City. Talia appeared first, helping Batman bring down Dr. Damien Darrk of the League of Assassins, who had fallen out with her father. Therefore he was going to do something about that. After much ado, they finally catch up to the mastermind, or rather his corpse. This puts a different cast on an earlier story where Talia had supposedly believed her father dead. This is nifty stuff, with some crackerjack writing and Showcase Presents: Batman: Volume 6 art. Overall, this is a good Showcase Presents: Batman: Volume 6 of Batman, and well worth requesting for the library, or even buying if you are a big Batman fan. Jun 22, Eamonn Murphy rated it really liked it. He said it was just random chance. When he handed in a script he had no idea which artist would be drawing it. Just so happens that Adams got many of them. He also seems to have had the best ones but it might look that way because of what he made of them. Of course, Neal Adams is the star draw here — pun intended Showcase Presents: Batman: Volume 6 but as many stories are pencilled by Irv Novick and Bob Brown who also deserve kudos. The greatest pencils can be ruined by a duff embellisher but Giordano — au contraire — makes a solid pro like Bob Brown look good, a significant talent like Irv Novick look great and a class act like Neal Adams look magnificent. This generous volume features stories from Batman and Detective Comics As there were back-up strips in the original comics featuring Robin or Batgirl, I think, most of these solo Batman tales run to a mere fifteen pages. On the other hand, it means they tend to blur into one Showcase Presents: Batman: Volume 6 somewhat. However, certain yarns definitely stand out. Two-Face is the villain. This multi-part story is Bats vs. They're easy to pick out because of the distinctive art. Frank Robbins turns in some good scripts, too. Perhaps he should have let Neal Adams draw it. The storytelling aspect is excellent but the figures are odd-looking and the blacks a bit overwhelming. These stories were published in the early 70s when US society was undergoing a severe re-assessment of itself and disillusionment was rife. In that way, certain comics of the time are interesting as social history. Simultaneously with the cosmic stuff, there were street super-heroes tackling Showcase Presents: Batman: Volume 6 issues of the day. This book contains several classics interspersed with fill-in material that ranges from good to very good. Kids pocket money prices, really. How can you refuse? Nov 07, Michael Allan Leonard rated it really liked it. A collection of Batman tales from Batman and Detective Comics originally published inthe centerpiece of this volume is the first few encounters between Showcase Presents: Batman: Volume 6 and Ra's al Ghul. Outside of the historical value of Ra's first appearances, there's some fantastic stories here and, as you can expect from a collection curated by publication date, a few head-scratching oddball clunkers and mediocre efforts, some of which are so bad they are amusing just for the strange, failed gimmicks. When A collection of Batman tales from Batman and Detective Comics originally published inthe centerpiece of this volume is the first few encounters between Batman and Ra's al Ghul. When the stories shine, though, they really shine: these are mostly done-in-one detective-oriented tales with Batman actually solving crimes and mysteries, rather than the modern non-stop gauntlet of violently insane sociopaths that pass for Batman comics recently. Feb 13, Tom rated it really liked it. I had ordered this book from Amazon and almost forgot about it. The release date had been pushed back much further than originally scheduled, and as a result, it was almost a year later when it finally showed up. As it turns out, it was mostly worth the wait. The Batman reprints often alternate between Batman and Detective Comics stories, and O'Neil and Adams didn't even always work together. Early stories from this era were as likely to have Batman encounter a ghost, or evidence of a possible ghost, as anything else. And while the Ra's stories are generally worth it, they appear sporadically throughout the volume. One issue will have Bruce Wayne faking his death to look for Ra's, while the following issue will make no mention of Ra's al-Ghul or Talia at all and have Bruce Wayne making public appearances. Continuity is not much for this Showcase Presents: Batman: Volume 6. Anyone looking for other classic Bat-foes may be disappointed. Two-Face and the Man-Bat each appear once, as does the Ten-Eyed Man, but Batman mostly deals with regular crooks pulling crimes that force him to use his detective skills over his superhero skills.

    Myth, Metatext, Continuity and Cataclysm in Dc Comics’ Crisis on Infinite Earths

    WORLDS WILL LIVE, WORLDS WILL DIE: MYTH, METATEXT, CONTINUITY AND CATACLYSM IN DC COMICS’ CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS Adam C. Murdough A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS August 2006 Committee: Angela Nelson, Advisor Marilyn Motz Jeremy Wallach ii ABSTRACT Angela Nelson, Advisor In 1985-86, DC Comics launched an extensive campaign to revamp and revise its most important superhero characters for a new era. In many cases, this involved streamlining, retouching, or completely overhauling the characters’ fictional back-stories, while similarly renovating the shared fictional context in which their adventures take place, “the DC Universe.” To accomplish this act of revisionist history, DC resorted to a text-based performative gesture, Crisis on Infinite Earths. This thesis analyzes the impact of this singular text and the phenomena it inspired on the comic-book industry and the DC Comics fan community. The first chapter explains the nature and importance of the convention of “continuity” (i.e., intertextual diegetic storytelling, unfolding progressively over time) in superhero comics, identifying superhero fans’ attachment to continuity as a source of reading pleasure and cultural expressivity as the key factor informing the creation of the Crisis on Infinite Earths text. The second chapter consists of an eschatological reading of the text itself, in which it is argued that Crisis on Infinite Earths combines self-reflexive metafiction with the ideologically inflected symbolic language of apocalypse myth to provide DC Comics fans with a textual "rite of transition," to win their acceptance for DC’s mid-1980s project of self- rehistoricization and renewal.

    PERFORMED IDENTITIES: HEAVY METAL MUSICIANS BETWEEN 1984 AND 1991 Bradley C. Klypchak A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY May 2007 Committee: Dr. Jeffrey A. Brown, Advisor Dr. John Makay Graduate Faculty Representative Dr. Ron E. Shields Dr. Don McQuarie © 2007 Bradley C. Klypchak All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Dr. Jeffrey A. Brown, Advisor Between 1984 and 1991, heavy metal became one of the most publicly popular and commercially successful rock music subgenres. The focus of this dissertation is to explore the following research questions: How did the subculture of heavy metal music between 1984 and 1991 evolve and what meanings can be derived from this ongoing process? How did the contextual circumstances surrounding heavy metal music during this period impact the performative choices exhibited by artists, and from a position of retrospection, what lasting significance does this particular era of heavy metal merit today? A textual analysis of metal- related materials fostered the development of themes relating to the selective choices made and performances enacted by metal artists. These themes were then considered in terms of gender, sexuality, race, and age constructions as well as the ongoing negotiations of the metal artist within multiple performative realms. Occurring at the juncture of art and commerce, heavy metal music is a purposeful construction. Metal musicians made performative choices for serving particular aims, be it fame, wealth, or art. These same individuals worked within a greater system of influence. Metal bands were the contracted employees of record labels whose own corporate aims needed to be recognized.

The title itself suggests many of the topics about which women were concerned, or at least were supposed to concern them: the mediation of identity through heterosexual partnership, the pressure to marry and the simultaneous emphasis placed on individual achievement. Concerns about marriage and Lois’ ability to enter into it routinely provide the sole narrative dynamic for stories and Superman engages in different methods of avoiding the matrimonial schemes devised by Lois or her main romantic rival, Lana Lang.

This thesis does not contain material which has been submitted for the award of any other degree or diploma in my name, in any university or other tertiary institution. In the future, no part of this thesis will be used in a submission in my name, for any other degree or diploma in any university or other tertiary institution without the prior approval of The University of Western Australia and where applicable, any partner institution responsible for the joint-award of this degree.

This thesis does not contain work that I have published, nor work under review for publication. Signature Date: 17/12/2020 ii iii ABSTRACT Since the development of the superhero genre in the late 1930s it has been a contentious area of cultural discourse, particularly concerning its depictions of gender politics. A major critique of the genre is that it simply represents an adolescent male power fantasy; and presents a world view that valorises masculinist individualism.
