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.

    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 352 976 IR 054 326 AUTHOR Andelson, Eric TITLE A Study of Graphic Novel Cataloging Records. PUB DATE Feb 92 NOTE 93p.; Master's Thesis, Kent State University. PUB TYPE Dissertations/Theses Masters Theses (042) EDRS PRICE MF01/PC04 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS Bibliographic Utilities; *Cataloging; College Libraries; Higher Education; Library Research; Online Catalogs; Online Searching; Research Methodology; Statistical Analysis; *Subject Index Terms; Tables (Data) IDENTIFIERS Bowling Green State University OH; *Graphic Novels; OCLC; Statistical Package for the Social Sciences ABSTRACT Graphic novels are a blending of words and art in which the illustrations bear the same relationship to the text that a film carries to its screenplay. The hypothesis of this research is that, as a new form of literature, graphic novels will display inconsistent cataloging. Methodology consisted of searching the titles generated from Bowling Green State University's subject heading, Graphic Novels, against OCLC records. There are 191 titles, with 299 OCLC records and 3,416 holdings. All records for the same title were downloaded from OCLC, encoded, and entered into SPSS. Statistical analysis such as tabulating and frequency distribution are utilized in analyzing the cataloging records. Definitions, examples, AACR2 cataloging rules, subject headings, added entries, and classification numbers clarify the format as well as the cataloging of graphic novels. One conclusion is that there are consistencies as well as inconsistencies in the cataloging record. Another is that graphic novels are not automatically cGnsidered juvenile works. Several recommendations based on the study findings are offered: (1) "chiefly ill." should be used in the physical field; (2) a subject heading "Graphic Novels" should be assigned in order to bring out this form of literature;(3) libraries may want to class graphic novels together locally; and (4) more individuals and roles should be listed in the statement of responsibility or notes.

  • Richard Robinson's Rewarde of Wickednesse
    Journal of Early Modern Studies, n. 4 (2015), pp. 71-98 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.13128/JEMS-2279-7149-15781 ‘I keepe my watche, and warde’: Richard Robinson’s Rewarde of Wickednesse (1574)* Emily Buff ey University of Birmingham (<[email protected]>) Abstract In response to the recent call to re-evaluate what C.S. Lewis called the ‘Drab Age’, the article reassesses one sixteenth-century poem, Th e Rewarde of Wickednesse(1574), and its author, Richard Robinson. Th e poem is framed in such a way that the topos of service is central to an understanding of Robinson’s authorial identity, an identity determined by his proclaimed status within the household of the sixth Earl of Shrewsbury. Th e poet claims to be one ‘of a hundreth’ serving the family during the captivity of Mary, Queen of Scots. Th e article locates the Rewarde of Wickednesse within the relevant geographical, literary and socio-political contexts and reveals aspects of Robinson’s artistry that have remained hitherto unexplored. Keywords: de casibus, Dream Vision, Mary Stuart, Mirror for Magistrates, Richard Robinson, Servant Writing 1. Introduction Th e Rewarde of Wickednesse Discoursing the Sundrye Monstrous Abuses of Wicked and Ungodlye Worldelinges is a little-known Elizabethan poem dedicated to Gilbert Talbot, son of the sixth Earl of Shrewsbury. It was written by Richard Robinson, a ‘Servaunt’ in the household of George Talbot and his wife, Elizabeth Cavendish (‘Bess of Hardwick’) and published in 1574, during * I would like to thank David Griffi th and Gillian Wright of the University of Birmingham for their valuable suggestions and abiding support during the process of writing this article.

  • The Narratology of Comic Art
    The Narratology of Comic Art By placing comics in a lively dialogue with contemporary narrative theory, The Narratology of Comic Art builds a systematic theory of narrative comics, going beyond the typical focus on the Anglophone tra­ dition. This involves not just the exploration of those properties in com­ ics that can be meaningfully investigated with existing narrative theory, but an interpretive study of the potential in narratological concepts and analytical procedures that has hitherto been overlooked as well. This research monograph is, then, not an application of narratology in the medium and art of comics, but a revision of narratological concepts and approaches through the study of narrative comics. Thus, while narrato­ logy is brought to bear on comics, equally comics are brought to bear on narratology.

    ESSENTIAL JUDGE DREDD: ORIGINS PDF, EPUB, EBOOK John Wagner | 192 pages | 31 Aug 2021 | Rebellion | 9781781088630 | English | Oxford, United Kingdom Essential Judge Dredd: Origins PDF Book Ben Smith , head of Rebellion Publishing, said: "Not only is America one of the most amazing Judge Dredd stories ever told, this incredibly prescient look at the demands society must make for democracy and what a state will do to protect itself couldn't be more contemporary. Available in one week slots. Patrolling the streets of Mega-City One on America's Eastern seaboard years in the future, Dredd is judge, jury, and executioner in a blackly funny, often challenging, and always riotous satire of 'law and order' politics, whose underlying message has only become more relevant in the 21st Century. You might also like. The middle chapters of "Origins" cover Fargo's life history, and how he founded his Judge System in The latest in the smash-hit, best-selling graphic novel series! In Mega-City One, the Judges are the law - acting as judge, jury, and executioner. An unusual delivery is made to the Grand Hall of Justice, a package that will force Dredd to lead a mission into the Cursed Earth and into the darkest recesses of the history of the Judges and Mega-City One His real task? Fans speculated at the time that this indicated that this theme may be followed up in later stories. Only the Judges — powerful law enforcers supporting the despotic Justice Department — can stop total anarchy running rife on the crime-ridden streets. Any words.
