The sequel, Marco Goes to School was released in By its very design—the book weighs almost nine pounds, is a foot and a half tall and over a foot wide, and contains some very small print that requires one to really look at what one is reading—Ware makes clear that Monograph is not casual reading. The album includes wild and reckless moments resembling demonic deliverances, poignant songwriting, and even tender ballads, seemingly abandoning genre altogether. Ware has spoken about finding inspiration in the work of artist Joseph Cornell [6] and cites Richard McGuire 's strip Here as a major influence on his use of non-linear narratives. The end product of this process will be several novels.

Ware is an ardent collector of ragtime paraphernalia and occasionally publishes a journal devoted to the music titled The Ragtime Ephemeralist. He seems like the type of artist, and indeed human being, who would not want to be put on a pedestal or enshrined as the epitome of what good comics art is; or even worse, to be reduced to one or two of the myriad works he has produced over the years.

  • Why Wonder Woman Matters
    Why Wonder Woman Matters When I was a kid, being a hero seemed like the easiest thing in the world to be- A Blue Beetle quote from the DC Comics publication The OMAC Project. Introduction The superhero is one of modern American culture’s most popular and pervasive myths. Though the primary medium, the comic book, is often derided as juvenile or material fit for illiterates the superhero narrative maintains a persistent presence in popular culture through films, television, posters and other mediums. There is a great power in the myth of the superhero. The question “Why does Wonder Woman matter?” could be answered simply. Wonder Woman matters because she is a member of this pantheon of modern American gods. Wonder Woman, along with her cohorts Batman and Superman represent societal ideals and provide colorful reminders of how powerful these ideals can be.1 This answer is compelling, but it ignores Wonder Woman’s often turbulent publication history. In contrast with titles starring Batman or Superman, Wonder Woman comic books have often sold poorly. Further, Wonder Woman does not have quite the presence that Batman and Superman both share in popular culture.2 Any other character under similar circumstances—poor sales, lack of direction and near constant revisions—would have been killed off or quietly faded into the background. Yet, Wonder Woman continues to persist as an important figure both within her comic universe and in our popular consciousness. “Why does Wonder Woman matter?” To answer this question an understanding of the superhero and their primary medium, the comic book, is required, Wonder Woman is a comic book character, and her existence in the popular consciousness largely depends on how she is presented within the conventions of the comic book superhero narrative.

The purpose of this research is to adapt the approaches used by prominent and influential writers and artists in the American superhero/action comic-book field to create an engaging Australian hero comic book. Further, the aim of this thesis is to bridge the gap between the lack of academic writing on the professional practice of the Australian comic industry. In order to achieve this, I explored and learned the methods these prominent and professional US writers and artists use. Compared to the American industry, the creating of comic books in Australia has rarely been documented, particularly in a formal capacity or from a contemporary perspective. The process I used was to navigate through the research and studio practice from the perspective of a solo artist with an interest to learn, and to develop into an artist with a firmer understanding of not only the medium being engaged, but the context in which the medium is being created.

  • The Third Side of the Coin: Constructing Superhero Comics Culture As Religious Myth Aaron Ricker, Mcgill University, Canada
    The Third Side of the Coin: Constructing Superhero Comics Culture as Religious Myth Aaron Ricker, McGill University, Canada he claim that superhero comics culture is a modern religious and/ Tor mythopoeic expression has been repeated so often by academic observers of pop culture over the years, it has assumed the dimensions of a modern myth in its own right. It has provided the driving thesis behind a chorus of academic works that has mushroomed steadily over the decades,1 and inspired a considerable trend in teaching about religion in North American universities.2 Critically evaluating this claim that superhero comics culture is in effect a modern religious or mythopoeic expression can, though, feel at times like reading comics produced by M.C. Escher, since superhero comics “mythology” so often includes elaborate homage to (and exuberant plagiarism of) real-world religions and myths, including the religions and myths held sacred by the heroes themselves.3 To complete 1 From Umberto Eco’s “The Myth of Superman,” trans. Natalie Chilton, Diacritics 2, no. 1 (Spring, 1972): 14–22 to Andrew R. Bahlmann’s The Mythology of the Superhero (Jefferson, NC: McFarland, 2016), such scholarly studies have grown steadily in terms of both quantity and sophistication. See Sections 1 and 2 below for representative works. 2 See, e.g., Jeffrey M. Brackett, “Religious Studies 201: Religion and Popular Culture” (Class Syllabus, 2014; Ball State University, Muncie, Indiana); Ellen Kellman, “NEJS 176b: Jewish Graphic Novels” (Class Syllabus, 2015; Brandeis University, Waltham, Massachusetts); Ken Koltun-Fromm and Yvonne Chireau, “Relg 144: Reading Comics and Religion,” (Class Syllabus, 2016; Haverford University, Haverford, Pennsylvania); Salvatore Pane, “FYS 110 01: Superheroes or Supergods?” (Class Syllabus, 2013; University of Indiana, Bloomington, Indiana); Kevin Wanner, “REL 3111: Superhero Comic Book Religion” (Class Syllabus, 2015; University of Western Michigan, Kalamazoo, Michigan).

  • Abstract the History of Book Jacket Design & Its Cultural
    ABSTRACT THE HISTORY OF BOOK JACKET DESIGN & ITS CULTURAL SIGNIFICANCE Lindsay B. Larimore Director: Virginia Green Book jacket designs act as historical snapsHots of the visual culture prevalent during their creation through the use of typography, shapes, style of imagery and overall mood. Illustration also played a significant role in development of the book jacket as an art and advertising medium, although illustration now struggles to maintain its prior prestige in the digitally dominant 21st century. By studying these historical examples and examining the development of the medium, I created three book jacket designs as a practical demonstration.
