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.

    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by ScholarWorks @ UVM GROWING UP WITH VERTIGO: BRITISH WRITERS, DC, AND THE MATURATION OF AMERICAN COMIC BOOKS A Thesis Presented by Derek A. Salisbury to The Faculty of the Graduate College of The University of Vermont In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of Master of Arts Specializing in History May, 2013 Accepted by the Faculty of the Graduate College, The University of Vermont, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts, specializing in History. 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.

  • Encrumbed by the Signifying Monkey: Con Men, Cackling Clowns and the Exigencies of Desire in the Comics of Robert Crumb
    © Andrew Perry 2019 Encrumbed by the Signifying Monkey: Con Men, Cackling Clowns and the Exigencies of Desire in the Comics of Robert Crumb “What [do] we learn from reading books with characters and situations that are repugnant[?] We learn how to critique, examine and analyze texts, to see them in their time period with the human limitations of the authors. [They] may make a reader enraged, repulsed and even sickened, but may also present an opportunity to deepen perspectives on one’s own worldviews and values, and perhaps to act on them.” – Trudy Smoke (from “Letters” in The New York Times Book Review, February 3, 2019) “Sex, as society defines it, is constructed, just like everything else, and so it can be deconstructed. Our identities play such a big role in how we move through the world and create connections with others, and we fool ourselves when we ignore them. One person’s fantasy is another’s trigger, and there’s room for all of it to exist next to each other.” Arielle Egozi (“How do you define the ‘best sex ever’?” in Salon.com, March 21, 2019) “Drawing is a way for me to articulate things inside myself that I can’t otherwise grasp.” – Robert Crumb (from the R. Crumb Handbook, 2005: 394) MUDDIED WATERS Do you have strong opinions on the topic of public masturbation? Multi-generational incest? The unconsenting degradation of inebriated young women? The depiction of African- Americans as monkey-like “pickaninnies,” “coons,” and “spades?” Right from the outset it is uncomfortably clear that confronting the provocative, inflammatory role of offensive images at the throbbing core of Robert Crumb’s artistic vision is morbidly tricky.
