  • Taking Comics Seriously
    POP CULTURE clusively with daytime. The show features no gunfights or car chases; there are moments of leisurely, uneventful conversation between the younger and older generations. It is a curious inversion: Where once daytime TV fled prime time, prime time now copies daytime. The evidence is every- where, from the success of The Forsyte Saga and Upstairs Down- stairs (soap operas with extra starch) to major television serials like Rich Man Poor Man, Roots, and Captains and Kings. Spec- taculars aside, even a regular offering such as Family reflects a soap-opera sense of continuity. The major characters suffer. They have affairs, consider marriage, drop out of school, worry about mortality It goes too far to say that daytime dramas are genuinely realistic. The necessities of the form require too many brushes with the kinds of crises that most families would suffer only a few times in a generation. But both soaps and game shows have certainly tried to move television closer to what Paddy Chayefsky called "the marvelous world of the ordinary." What daytime TV has given prime time is the possibility of exploring characters not through the prism of fantasy, but through a focus closer to the way most of us spend our lives. And that is no mean contribution. TAKING COMICS SERIOUSLY by Arthur Asa Berger New art forms are often greeted with derision. Attic tragedy was denounced by conservative Greeks, impressionism by high- brow Parisians. Americans, too, have snubbed new, indigenous art forms. The comics, for example, like jazz music, are a home- grown American product; and like jazz, they were long ignored by "serious" critics.

    Register Free To Download Files | File Name : Rip Kirby Volume 1 PDF RIP KIRBY VOLUME 1 Tapa dura 1 diciembre 2009 Author : Alex Raymond Descripcin del productoCrticas"A treasure not to be missed." --ScoopBiografa del autorAlex Raymond (1909-1956) is regarded, with Milton Caniff and Hal Foster, as one of the three giants of newspaper adventure strip artists. Raymond apprenticed with Chic Young on Blondie, and Lymon Young on Tim Tyler's Luck. The year 1934 was a major turning point in his career: he illustrated X- 9, a new detective comic strip written by Dashiell Hammett, and then created Flash Gordon and Jungle Jim. Rip Kirby, created in 1946, signaled a grand departure, both thematically and artistically, from the science fiction classic. He promulgated a new art style--one of cinematic photo-realism--that influenced such artists as Stan Drake, Leonard Starr, Al Williamson, and Neal Adams. Great art, good printing IDW produced another great book, beautifully crafted, with an interesting essay on Alex Raymond and Rip Kirby. Every effort was made to find the best sources for the dailies: it's a pity that they are not - apparently - syndicated proofs; very few are from original art (the first week and some others); the bulk is made of pretty good reproductions, some from second generation sources; some are not so good... I wonder: where are the KFS proofs?Forgive my English Five Stars Presenting the first volume of Alex Raymond's modernist classic Rip Kirby from its start in 1946. Created by Alex Raymond when he was deactivated from the Marines after World War II, Rip Kirby was a fresh approach to the genre, a departure from the prevailing hard-boiled style of detective fiction.

  • Group 3: Jennifer Day, Xander Jarnow, Duke Mcghee, Shelby Stehn, Adam Vandenhouten, Tyler Kallevig Reasons Why We Chose Queen
    Queen Group 3: Jennifer Day, Xander Jarnow, Duke McGhee, Shelby Stehn, Adam Vandenhouten, Tyler Kallevig Reasons Why We Chose Queen: There are a lot of reasons that we, as a group, decided to do our project on Queen. Queen is an extremely well-known band across multiple generations, so it is an artist that we can talk to almost anyone anywhere about. Additionally, they were an influence to many artists after them. Finally, they released over 15 albums that showed a very impressive musical range and an awe-inspiring amount of talent. Queen: Overview Queen was one of the most popular and successful rock groups during the 1970s and 80s, with a very unique, experimental style and sound, Queen has remained one of the best selling artists of all time. The band began its formation in 1967, when the guitarist Brian May and the drummer Roger Taylor joined with Tim Staffell to form a rock group named Smile. When Tim Staffell left the group, May and Taylor joined forces with Freddie Mercury and a bass player named John Deacon, resulting in the core version of the band in 1970. Queen was famous for bright, glam, “pomp-rock” and put on energetic shows. Freddie Mercury in particular was known for his flamboyant style. Their sound was a very produced and incorporated elements of glam rock, heavy metal, hard rock, and harmony. After the tragic death of Freddie Mercury the band added new members and continued performing Even today their songs remain popular, for example, “We Are the Champions,” “Another One Bites the Dust,” “Bohemian Rhapsody,” and “We Will Rock You” are still played often.

NARR: Racing high above the earth, seated in a giant airliner, Flash Gordon, world famous athlete, glances across the aisle at Dale Arden, a lovely young woman sharing this air voyage. The minds of both are intent on the danger which for many months has been approaching the Earth with terrific speed. This terrible peril is a new and unknown planet, hurtling through space directly into the path of the Earth. Suddenly there’s a violent jar. The plane lurches into a spinning nose dive. Flash Gordon’s trained muscles carry him across the aisle to the frightened girl, to gather her in his arms and then leap free of the falling plane. And pulling the ripcord of his parachute, they glide to Earth. Flash: Don’t be frightened, Miss Arden. The plane has crashed, but we’re safe. Dale: Yes, thanks to you. Flash: Hold fast, we’re landing now…careful…easy… Flash: Are you all right, Miss Arden? Dale: Yes, yes I am. Please, call me Dale. Flash: All right – Dale. Please call me Flash.
