  • Copyright 2013 Shawn Patrick Gilmore
    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.

    William Rotsler, P.O.Box 3126, Los Angeles, California 90028 Hoog! NEVER PUT ANYTHING BIGGER THAN YOUR ELBOW IN YOUR EAR The last two issues of this letter-substitute went to a lot more people than normal. (And a lot weren1t normal!) I just got carried away. In addition to the Lilapa 15 ("Free the Lilapa 15'") I made up 25 copies, most of which were passed on to a second party. Do you think I'm getting "fannish"? I certain do "go on" in these pages...and this paragraph. Oh, well, fandom is just a goddamn ego-trip. Harlan Ellison Harlan Ellison Harlan Ellison Harlan Ellison Harlan I did a dummmmmb thing last issue...I left out two pages. They were lost in the great pile of sheets for those two issues (and a special edition yet to come—something really different for Kteic!), so they are included right after this. I was showing pages from FUTUREWORLD and where I had Tuckerized, etc. Then I received an autographed copy of L'AMBASSADEURS DES OMBRES, the latest French color comic (he) by J.C.Mezieres et P. Christin. Mezieres is a friend og Philippe Hupp, who was here in LA just before the MidAmeriCon. He not only sent me a copy but added a huge full-page drawing! That, too, is introduced somewhere herein. (Thank you, Philippe! And thank you, J.C.! Merci!) I love Valerian. If you others are not familiar, you should check him out. The drawing is the BEST and the stories cinematic as hell, in that I can "read" them without knowing French.

Dystopian RevolutionBy MikeI enjoyed this dystopian novel. Fans of dystopian novels, such as George Orwell's 1984, and ardent Frank Herbert fans will probably enjoy this novel. Those looking for a new Frank Herbert sci-fi novel, similar to Dune or The Dosadi Experiment, might want to think twice before getting this book.Setting is the near future where the world has become dominated by opinion polls and those who control the polls. In theory, those who rule are freely elected but in practice control has accumulated into the hand of a few families and their governmental bureaus. Frank Herbert goes onto explore how societies and governments have cycles and are destined to fail and how the actions of individuals and societies can be predicted scientifically. Daniel Movius has rose rapidly in the system which purportedly allows all to succeed but he falls even more rapidly as a result of political machinations. Daniel then goes on to join the separatist movement and turbocharge their languishing revolution. Overall, this is a good story which is filled with suspense, intrigue and action.I would be interested to know when this novella was written in relation to some of Frank Herbert's other novels - unfortunately I could not find this information.

    WILLIAM ROTSLER POST OFFICE BOX 3126 LOS ANGELES CALIFORNIA 90028 jurrg/W Jj 13 June 77 Received a letter from George Barr, along with a lot of good quotes. He starts out by saying he felt guilty for not writing, etc etc. BUT YOU PEOPLE LISTEN, PLEASE! I don't want to make anyone feel guilty! My attempts to trim the mailing list are just an effort to cut down expenses, and not to bother anyone who doesn't want it with Kteic Magazine. None of you are under an obligation to write. Please believe that. Just now and again, though, I'd like verbal or written proof that (1) you still want to get KM; (2) you are getting KM. That's all. Now on with George's letter. Thanks for sending the photos of Sharman. I'll try to have the picture finished in time to exhibit at the World Fantasy Con in LA this coming October. The photos course are beautiful... beautiful subject: (almost-) automatically beautiful photos. If I were to pick a fault at all, it would be that they are obviously publicity photos. And the only thing wrong with that is that it bothers me occasionally knowing that people will have the picture I used as referance material to compare with the finished painting. I make so many changes fox’ character or composition, that I'm always afraid people will point out every minute way in which the painting differs from the original photo and assume that it was be- .• cause I couldn’t do any better.

    STANLEY DONEN Chantons sous la pluie DOSSIER 150 COLLÈGE AU CINÉMA SYNOPSIS En 1927, l’acteur de cinéma Don Lockwood et sa partenaire Lina Lamont assistent à la première de leur nouveau film à Hollywood. Malgré ce qu’il raconte alors au public sur sa carrière et son sens de la dignité, Don a fait beaucoup de compromissions avant de devenir une star. Avec son ami Cosmo Brown, il a tenté de s’imposer au music-hall, puis a débuté obscu- rément au cinéma comme cascadeur jusqu’à ce que le producteur Simpson des studios Monumental Pictures le remarque et fasse de lui le partenaire de la blonde Lina Lamont, aussi belle qu’idiote. Le service de presse du studio les a fiancés pour des raisons publicitaires. L’écervelée Lina croit que leur amour est réel, alors que Don la déteste et ne joue le jeu du couple que pour la galerie et les magazines.
