María José Álvarez Faedo VºBº: Oviedo, 2012 To comic book creators of yesterday, today and tomorrow. The comics medium is a very specialized area of the Arts, home to many rare and talented blooms and flowering imaginations and it breaks my heart to see so many of our best and brightest bowing down to the same market pressures which drive lowest-common-denominator blockbuster movies and television cop shows. Let's see if we can call time on this trend by demanding and creating big, wild comics which stretch our imaginations. Let's make living breathing, sprawling adventures filled with mind-blowing images of things unseen on Earth. Let's make artefacts that are not faux-games or movies but something other, something so rare and strange it might as well be a window into another universe because that's what it is.

  • Justice League: Origins
    JUSTICE LEAGUE: ORIGINS Written by Chad Handley [email protected] EXT. PARK - DAY An idyllic American park from our Rockwellian past. A pick- up truck pulls up onto a nearby gravel lot. INT. PICK-UP TRUCK - DAY MARTHA KENT (30s) stalls the engine. Her young son, CLARK, (7) apprehensively peeks out at the park from just under the window. MARTHA KENT Go on, Clark. Scoot. CLARK Can’t I go with you? MARTHA KENT No, you may not. A woman is entitled to shop on her own once in a blue moon. And it’s high time you made friends your own age. Clark watches a group of bigger, rowdier boys play baseball on a diamond in the park. CLARK They won’t like me. MARTHA KENT How will you know unless you try? Go on. I’ll be back before you know it. EXT. PARK - BASEBALL DIAMOND - MOMENTS LATER Clark watches the other kids play from afar - too scared to approach. He is about to give up when a fly ball plops on the ground at his feet. He stares at it, unsure of what to do. BIG KID 1 (yelling) Yo, kid. Little help? Clark picks up the ball. Unsure he can throw the distance, he hesitates. Rolls the ball over instead. It stops halfway to Big Kid 1, who rolls his eyes, runs over and picks it up. 2. BIG KID 1 (CONT’D) Nice throw. The other kids laugh at him. Humiliated, Clark puts his hands in his pockets and walks away. Big Kid 2 advances on Big Kid 1; takes the ball away from him.

  • English 480: the Modern American Superhero Spring 2016 Professor Ben Saunders
    ENGLISH 480: THE MODERN AMERICAN SUPERHERO SPRING 2016 PROFESSOR BEN SAUNDERS Office Hours: Wednesdays, 9 a.m. —12 noon (366 PLC) E-mail: [email protected] Description: Once upon a time, the four-color world of the superhero was a comfortingly simple place. Whether they came from distant galaxies, other dimensions, or our home planet, the super-powered beings of the 1940s and 50s were secure in their sense of righteousness and saw no contradiction in the alignment of truth and justice with the American way. But in the 1960s superheroes experienced a crisis of confidence. They became more neurotic, more driven by guilt than moral rectitude, and more likely to be feared and misunderstood than admired and revered. Throughout the 1970s, things got worse. The Green Lantern was accused of racism; Spider-Man’s girlfriend was murdered; Superman wondered about his own relevance; Iron Man turned to the bottle. By the 1980s it had become hard to tell the heroes from the villains. In Watchmen, the single most influential superhero narrative of the late 20th century, super-beings were imagined variously as weapons in the Cold War, wannabe celebrities chasing the corporate dollar, self-loathing closet cases, and damaged psychotics. When the comic book industry underwent one of its periodic collapses in the 1990s it looked like it was all over for the spandex set. But today, superheroes are enjoying a commercial renaissance; indeed, the figure of the superhero has become one of the dominant fantasies of our present moment. What does all this tell us about the genre? And what does it say about us our culture, politics, and values? In this class we will map the path of the American superhero and consider the ways in which that journey reflects larger processes of social change.

  • Comics Aren't (Just) Funny
    CHAPTER 3 COMICS AREN’T (JUST) FUNNY Deconstructing Superhero Comics The United States of America is a Western culture enamored with its faith in the rugged individual. Many who comment on popular culture have noted the American fascination with celebrity, and I believe there is a significant overlap among the American fascination with celebrity, faith in the rugged individual, and enduring affection for superheroes. But that overlap has its traps. In 2010, many conservatives speak of Ronald Reagan in such glowing terms that we may forget a poll in 1986 that revealed 56% of African-Americans believed Reagan to be a racist—a distant parallel of charges leveled at Barack Obama by his detractors in the first year of his presidency. In 1983, Reagan also suffered a 35% approval rating—another chink in the armor his supporters envision today and another parallel with Obama early in his tenure as president. Americans suffer the distortions of memory, especially as it is tinted by our mythologies. Americans are also rocked time and again when our heroes in real life prove themselves to be human. 2009 was punctuated by the fall of professional golfer Tiger Woods, who had garnered superhero status as an athlete and a celebrity with the implicit message that he was invincible and morally superior. But Woods fell from grace and lay among the countless bodies scattered in the ditch of shame that follows such idolatry. Americans desperately want superheroes walking amongst us, and we are determined to create them where they don’t exist— just as we are even quicker to excoriate them when they inevitably prove us wrong.
