A Gray Morrow MasterpieceBy Stephen Vincent KemptonIn my humble opinion the three best Science Fiction Comic Artists in the history of Comic art are Al Williamson, Wally Wood and Gray Morrow. In this volume you get to see Gray Morrow at the top of his form doing what he does best. Yes I know their have been rumblings because what we have here does not match the description as far as content. What we have are the first five continuities from the relaunched 1979 Buck Rogers comic strip, running just under a year in length. The Sunday strips are in full color and run a full page, the dallies are in glorious black and white and run two to a page. Cramming any more of this beautiful art on to a page would have been a shame.Hermes Press is a small company with a small budget. I have purchased all their books and this volume I find to be their best book yet. The color restoration and black and white looks excellent and is lovingly reproduced. Publisher Daniel Herman provides an excellent introduction about Gray Morrow. He also provides original art from his own collection which is reproduced in a gallery in the back of the book.In 1979 in the wake of the Star Wars craze NBC brings back Buck Rogers first in a TV Movie then in a TV series. It is decided to bring the newspaper strip back to life at the same time. The strip had been canceled since 1967. The team of Jim Lawrence (writer) and Gray Morrow revive the strip using new likeness of the characters different from both the original strip and new TV show. The cast consists of Buck Rogers, a pilot from current earth brought to the future, Commander Wilma Deering and Doctor Huer. Also on board are re-occuring villains Killer Kane and Princess Ardella. #1 SPACE VAMPIRE the first story introduces us to the cast in plot revolving around a Elephant's Graveyard made out of derlict Spaceships. Yoryx the space vampire it is revealed is working with Kane and Ardella. The plot is a little cheesy but fun.#2 MUTANT ZONE the second story is twist on Island Of Doctor Moreau and highlights Morrow's skill at drawing both sexy beautiful woman and ugly mutants.#3 VOSTRIAN CRISIS involves a story of politics and revolution among an avian society. Wilma picks up a pair wings so she can go under cover among these bird people. On page 117 Twiki (from the TV show) makes a one panel guest appearance from out of no where.#4 THE FACELESS KID is my favorite of the five arcs as Buck is appointed Marshall on the planet Texar. Texar is of course a futurist send up to Old West and Texas. Killer Kane , Princess Ardella and Wilma all show up along they way in various disguises.#5 SOLAR PERIL is the final story about Ominu the ruler of planet of perfect people who is causing solar flares and jeopardizing the Earth. the story borrows some from Frank L Baum you will discover.Gray Morrow who at one time worked as an assistant himself for Al Williamson and Wally Wood used some assistants himself on this strip. Probably the most famous are Stan Woch (of Airboy fame) and Tim Truman (Scout). Jack Sparling also helped on the strips. Jim Lawrence quit several months after the end of this collection and was replaced by DC comics legend Cary Bates who continued to the end. The strip lasted another three years. A year and a half more from Gray Morrow and a year and a half from artist Jack Sparling. Sparling while no Gray Morrow did produce some nice work.We really need to see the rest of Gray Morrow work and even the Jack Sparling material would be a delight since the newspaper circulation towards the end made these strips impossible to find.My Highest Recommendation for this one of my favorite books of the year.1 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Buck Rogers...reborn again!By L. W. SwintIn 1967, during the height of the so called "space race" between the United States and the Soviet Union, a pop culture institution that played a role in introducing millions to the wonders of space and science fiction, died. Ten years later, a space fantasy film written and directed by a talented young filmmaker named George Lucas was released, and in audiences around the world, it reignited that spark of excitement in the universe beyond our world. That movie, "Star Wars," would inspire the rebirth of that pop culture icon in its own theatrical film, a television series and a comic strip illustrated by one of the great creators of comic art. That decades old pop culture phenomenon was Buck Rogers!"Buck Rogers in the 25th Century: The Gray Morrow Years Volume 1," is a hardcover book published by Hermes Press which collects the first 2 years of the revitalized newspaper comic strip adventures of one of the first science fiction heroes. As written by James Lawrence and drawn by Gray Morrow, Buck Rogers' return to the comic strip page is a welcome rebirth of a classic character, envisioned by an artist born to draw this kind of adventure tale. While taking its initial look and design inspiration from the 1979-1980 TV series which starred Gil Gerard as Buck Rogers, and Erin Gray as Wilma Deering, the comic strip was very much the artistic vision of Mr. Morrow. Buck and Wilma are the ideal hero and heroine, handsome and beautiful. Writer James Lawrence made them equals in all their outer space adventures, comrades in arms with a hint of romance in their relationship. Their villainous counterparts are Killer Kane and Ardala, who trouble Buck and Wilma more than once in this volume. The foursome are featured in a dramatic tussle on the book's cover. Ardala in particular is depicted in a distinctively sexy Morrow manner in her appearances. The Lawrence and Morrow version of Buck Rogers is very much a contemporary take on the character. This premiere volume contains a total of 5 of Buck's exploits:1."Space Vampire" (September 9, 1979 - November 6, 1979)2."Mutant Zone" (November 7, 1979 - January 17, 1980)3."Vostrian Crisis" (January 18, 1980 - April 2, 1980)4."The Faceless Kid" (April 3, 1980 - June 9, 1980)5."Solar Peril" ( June 10, 1980 - August 18, 1980)The black and white daily strips are printed 2 per page while the color Sunday illustrations are reproduced in full size. Regrettably a few examples of the black and white strip art seemed to be reprinted with a lesser quality but it is not a major distraction in the enjoyment of Mr. Morrow's work.A very special highlight of this book is the inclusion of reproductions of some of Mr. Morrow's original newspaper artwork. This gives the reader the opportunity to more fully examine and admire the unique line rendering technique of this gifted artist. Mr. Morrow did not seem to be a deliberate artist like the great Hal Foster when it came to his style. To this fan's eye, his use of the pencil and pen line appear to come to the comic art page in a slightly more improvisational way, almost in what I can only describe as a happy flourish. It is the mark of his genius that Mr. Morrow's work never seems overly calculated but rather sparked by that first light of inspiration and imagination.This volume also includes promotional artwork for the comic strip and a fully illustrated introduction by Daniel Herman, which provides a brief history of Buck Rogers and an artistic biography of the talented artist that was Gray Morrow. The book as a whole, in all its 224 pages, is a lasting tribute to Mr. Morrow, a true master of comic art. It comes highly recommended.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Buck Rides Again!By r r pollakA beautiful collection of Gray Morrow's Buck Rogers strips. Full of fun and adventure! Love the pages shot from the original art. With the success of the Buck Rogers TV show the New York Times Syndicate decided to revive the classic Buck Rogers newspaper feature and to give it a contemporary sci-fi treatment. The feature, which was unrelated to the television show, offered the artwork of Gray Morrow with scripts by Jim Lawrence. Volume One offers a full two years of the strip with the black and white dailies and full-color Sundays. This material has never before been offered in its original version.

  • Mira Las Sorprendentes Apariciones De Chile En Variadas Historias De DC Cómics
    Mira las sorprendentes apariciones de Chile en variadas historias de DC Cómics Han transcurrido ocho décadas desde que Superman apareció por primera vez, el 18 de abril de 1938, en el N° 1 de la revista “Action Comics”. Casi un año después, en “Detective Comics” N° 27, apareció Batman. Fue el punto de partida para la consolidación de la National Allied Publications, hoy DC Comics, como empresa dedicada a la producción y distribución de cómics, pieza relevante de la industria cultural de los Estados Unidos y el conjunto del mundo capitalista occidental. Hoy DC Comics es la unidad de publicaciones de DC Entertainment, la cual a la vez es subsidiaria de Warner Bros Entertainment Inc., división de Time Warner. Forma parte -entonces- de un complejo industrial de productos culturales que incluyen también la televisión, el cine, la música y videojuegos. En la actualidad, Time Warner es el tercer conglomerado multinacional de medios y entretenimiento más grande del mundo. Batman y Superman están en el medio de esa industria. Y son figuras reconocibles por personas de todas las latitudes del planeta. DC Comics, el mundo en que habitan Batman y Superman, ha publicado cómics con referencias a Chile, las cuales han sido más bien escasas, puesto que la mayoría de sus historias transcurren en las ciudades ficticias de Gotham y Metrópolis y en lugares de Estados Unidos. Cuando salen de esas fronteras, los países de Europa, Rusia, México y Cuba han sido los sitios más visitados. Mira las sorprendentes apariciones de Chile en variadas historias de DC Cómics Un caso es la saga “American Gothic” de Swamp Thing (La Cosa del Pantano), cuyo guionista fue el británico Alan Moore, uno de los principales maestros de los cómics a nivel internacional.

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.

MORRISON A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Honors in the Major Program in Anthropology in the College of Sciences and in The Burnett Honors College at the University of Central Florida Orlando, Florida Spring Term 2015 Thesis Chair: Joanna Mishtal, Ph.D. Abstract As popular culture has an increasing presence in America, so do its various sub-cultures. One of such sub-cultures is the world of comic book fans known as cosplayers. Cosplayers dress- up and emulate characters at comic book conventions throughout the United States and the world—a practice known as cosplay, also described as costume-play. Despite the growing popularity of cosplay, little is known about this population. In this research, I set out to answer the following research question: why are women choosing to dress-up and embody these characters (the Gotham City Sirens) when they are often viewed as oversexualized.
