Thesis Examination Committee: ______________________________________ Advisor Abigail McGowan, Ph.D ______________________________________ Melanie Gustafson, Ph.D ______________________________________ Chairperson Elizabeth Fenton, Ph.D ______________________________________ Dean, Graduate College Domenico Grasso, Ph.D March 22, 2013 Abstract At just under thirty years the serious academic study of American comic books is relatively young. Over the course of three decades most historians familiar with the medium have recognized that American comics, since becoming a mass-cultural product in 1939, have matured beyond their humble beginnings as a monthly publication for children. However, historians are not yet in agreement as to when the medium became mature. This thesis proposes that the medium’s maturity was cemented between 1985 and 2000, a much later point in time than existing texts postulate. The project involves the analysis of how an American mass medium, in this case the comic book, matured in the last two decades of the twentieth century. The goal is to show the interconnected relationships and factors that facilitated the maturation of the American sequential art, specifically a focus on a group of British writers working at DC Comics and Vertigo, an alternative imprint under the financial control of DC.

  • Post-Anarchism in Grant Morrison's the Invisibles
    4. “A Thought Thinking Itself:” Post-anarchism in Grant Morrison’s The Invisibles Lewis Call* Grant Morrison’s The Invisibles (1994-2000) tells the tale of a diverse band of anarchist freedom fighters. Morrison’s narrative follows the adventures of a cell within a centuries-old revolutionary organization called the Invisible College. The leader of this cell is King Mob, a bald, pierced fetishist, who resembles Morrison more than a little. Three of King Mob’s fellow “Invisibles” present as women: the cross-dressing Brazilian shaman Lord Fanny, a slightly insane time-travelling redhead called Ragged Robin, and an African-American former cop who calls herself Boy. The cell’s newest recruit is Jack Frost, a foul-mouthed working-class punk from Liverpool. Together these Invisible revolutionaries fight against an interdimensional authoritarian conspiracy called the “Outer Church.” This Outer Church works towards a world in which political, economic and religious institutions unite to create a system of total authority. Meanwhile, the Invisible College works towards the opposite end: a left- libertarian world based upon individual freedom, inclusive diversity, and universal access to the means of happiness (including sex, drugs, and magic). The Invisibles can thus be read as an inspirational story of anti-authoritarian rebellion: a strange, beautiful, anarchist fairy tale. Yet, The Invisibles is much more than that. Morrison’s comic is also a post-anarchist cultural artifact. Post-anarchism is a radical form of anarchist theory that first emerged in the 1980s. It draws on twentieth century post-structuralism and post- modernism to extend anarchism’s critical power beyond its traditional targets, capitalism and the state.

Escrita por Grant Morrisson, a série não apenas foi uma nova abordagem do gênero de super-heróis, como também uma transposição da visão de mundo e das experiências do autor, com o intuito de transformar nossa própria realidade – nas palavras de Morrisson, uma espécie de “boneco vodu”. Lord Fanny, em específico – uma bruxa travesti brasileira de ascendência mexicana –, trouxe para os quadrinhos mainstream a experiência estética do queer, quebrando o padrão de heteronormatividade comum ao gênero e aproximando a proposta da série à proposição de Serge Moscovici sobre o papel fundamental da comunicação de massa na transformação das representações correntes na sociedade. Palavras-chave: histórias em quadrinhos; representação social; homossexualidade; queer; camp. 1. Por que estudar Histórias em Quadrinhos As histórias em quadrinhos são uma mídia relativamente nova. As histórias que deram origem ao formato como o conhecemos hoje nasceram no final do século XIX, e a publicação nas páginas dos jornais tornaram as HQs intrínsecas à cultura jornalística (COHEN, H.; KLAWA, L., 1977) – logo, dos meios de comunicação de massa. Há algumas décadas, se vêm investigando como esses meios, através dos discursos que disseminam em seus conteúdos, influem no sentido de senso comum que permeia a convivência social, perpetuando ou transformando as diversas representações sociais nele existentes.

    The Medium of the Mystic: Gnosis in the Works of Grant Morrison and Alan Moore by Garrison Breckenridge A thesis presented to the Honors College of Middle Tennessee State University in partial fulfilment of the requirements for graduation from the University Honors College Spring 2015 The Medium of the Mystic: Gnosis in the Works of Grant Morrison and Alan Moore by Garrison Breckenridge APPROVED: _____________________________ Dr. David Lavery English Department _____________________________ Dr. Maria K. Bachman, Chairperson of English Department _____________________________ Dr. Philip E. Philips, Associate Dean University Honors College Dedicated to Tammy Breckenridge, or Tzaddia Morningstar Daughter, sister, wife, a friend to many and mother to one whose enduring memory and presence is testament to the lasting magic of the kind word and the compassionate gesture iii Acknowledgements I would like to thank all of my family and all of my friends. There is no me without you. I would also like to thank Dr. Lavery for his acceptance of a rather unconventional work. Hopefully the first of many. iv Abstract In this thesis I explore the potential of art to convey spiritual and/or liberating ideas with the examination of three case studies: a visionary voice from the past in William Blake with his illuminated works and the contemporary voices of Grant Morrison and Alan Moore with their respective comics The Invisibles and Promethea. I use gnosis, or illumination, as the conceptual fulcrum on which I analyze these works as it covers every facet of the artistic experience: the influence on the artists, the intent behind their works, the content of the works, and the reader’s experience of the works.

RESUMO No presente trabalho procuramos estabelecer linhas de compreensão de algumas formas de pensamento e de vivências no final do Século XX, repensando-as junto com a história em quadrinhos Os Invisíveis, de Grant Morrison. Para tanto, começamos abordando o conceito de invisibilidade, a partir do seu aspecto formal, para depois pensa-lo como possibilidade de resistência política frente a uma “sociedade de controle”. Em seguida, passamos a tratar do conceito de tempo e das experiências de novas temporalidades que se abrem como possibilidade no final do Século. Como um terceiro ponto, abordamos as questões relativas à fragmentação do real e o jogo entre real e Simulação que são tomados como fortes elementos da pós-modernidade.

Transatlantic Exchanges and Cultural Constructs: Vertigo Comics and the British Invasion Isabelle Licari-Guillaume Introduction Mainstream US comics, with their emphasis on the superhero genre, are often presented as the epitome of Americanness. Indeed, characters such as Superman (self-styled champion of “truth, justice, and the American way”), Captain America (who was depicted punching Hitler on the cover of Captain America Comics #1 in March 1941) or Wonder Woman (who literally wears the Star-Spangled Banner) have come to symbolize American cultural hegemony in an increasingly globalized world. Despite this strong national anchorage, however, the American tradition did not develop in a vacuum: comics scholars have shown how European productions influenced US creators over the years (Gabilliet, 2005; Labarre, 2017), or how the arrival of manga in the 2000s helped transform the industry (Brienza, 2016).
