Processing Information Processed by Ann Galvan in 2018. Arrangement Arranged as received by title. Biography of Thomas Bentley Rue Thomas (Tom) Bentley Rue was born to Loring and Lorene (Land) Rue on March 13, 1937 in Norfolk, Virginia. During World War II Tom’s family moved to Long Beach, California, where his father, a commercial artist, worked for the U. S. Navy creating maps for the war effort. Tom enlisted in the army as soon as he graduated from Maury High School in Norfolk, Virginia in 1956. He served at several U.S. Army posts in the United States and spent over two years in what was then the Panama Canal Zone, serving as a radar operator and technician for the last Anti-Aircraft Battalion in the U. S. Army. Following his discharge from the army in 1959, Tom enrolled at the Norfolk College of William and Mary, now Old Dominion University, where he graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in history. It was there that he met his future wife, Virginia Dare Hardee of Hampton, Virginia. Following her Peace Corps service in Colombia, S.A., they were married in the chapel at Grand Forks Air Force Base in North Dakota. In 1963, Staff Sergeant Rue was commissioned a second lieutenant in the U. S. Air Force and served with the Strategic Air Command. During the Viet Nam war, he served in South Korea with the 6246th Air Force Advisory Group and was promoted to Captain. Upon returning to the U.S., he served as a division chief with the U. S. Air Force Office of Special Investigation in New York. He was awarded the Air Force Commendation Medal, the Korean Defense Service Medal, and the National Defense Service Medal. He was a member of the American Legion, the Commemorative Air Force, and a life member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars. In retirement, his interests centered on preserving the historical artifacts of WWII. He was a founding member of the American Air Museum in Britain and a contributing member of the Women’s Air Service Pilots’ Museum in Sweetwater, Texas. Tom and Virginia moved in 1972 to Napa, California, where he worked for several business interests in San Francisco and taught at St. John’s Catholic School in Napa. Thomas Bentley Rue died on November 27, 2016. Scope and Contents asc.2018.001 2 Donated by the collector Thomas Bentley Rue, this collection features comics and adventure strips ranging from the 1930s to the 1950s. Early American comics were collections of re-published newsprint cartoons, and this collection has several prominent Platinum Age (1897-1937) collected titles, including Popular Comics, Tip Top Comics, and Famous Funnies, the latter considered by some historians to be the first true American comic book. Noteworthy strips include Joe Palooka, Smilin’ Jack, Nancy, and Li’l Abner. This collection also contains Golden Age comics (1938-1955), with a particular focus on wartime heroes and their combat adventures during World War II, including Boy Commandos, Blackhawk, and Terry and the Pirates. Additional prominent comics during this period are Walt Disney’s Comics and Stories, heavily featuring the Donald Duck stories of 1943-1948 written by Carl Barks, and the Four Color series. Other titles of interest include Captain Marvel Adventures (now known as Shazam), Plastic Man, and an original copy of Superman, No. 1, although superhero comics are not majorly represented in this collection.

    Copyright 2013 Shawn Patrick Gilmore THE INVENTION OF THE GRAPHIC NOVEL: UNDERGROUND COMIX AND CORPORATE AESTHETICS BY SHAWN PATRICK GILMORE DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2013 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor Michael Rothberg, Chair Professor Cary Nelson Associate Professor James Hansen Associate Professor Stephanie Foote ii Abstract This dissertation explores what I term the invention of the graphic novel, or more specifically, the process by which stories told in comics (or graphic narratives) form became longer, more complex, concerned with deeper themes and symbolism, and formally more coherent, ultimately requiring a new publication format, which came to be known as the graphic novel. This format was invented in fits and starts throughout the twentieth century, and I argue throughout this dissertation that only by examining the nuances of the publishing history of twentieth-century comics can we fully understand the process by which the graphic novel emerged. In particular, I show that previous studies of the history of comics tend to focus on one of two broad genealogies: 1) corporate, commercially-oriented, typically superhero-focused comic books, produced by teams of artists; 2) individually-produced, counter-cultural, typically autobiographical underground comix and their subsequent progeny. In this dissertation, I bring these two genealogies together, demonstrating that we can only truly understand the evolution of comics toward the graphic novel format by considering the movement of artists between these two camps and the works that they produced along the way.

Currently, William Patrick Maynard and I are writing about the programming that will be featured at PulpFest 2019. We’ll be posting about the panels and presentations through June 10. On June 17, we’ll write about this year’s author signings, something new we’re planning for the convention. Check things out at www.pulpfest.com. Laurie Powers biography of LOVE STORY MAGAZINE editor Daisy Bacon is currently scheduled for release around the end of 2019. I will be carrying this book. It’s entitled QUEEN OF THE PULPS. Please reserve your copy today. Recently, I was contacted about carrying the Armchair Fiction line of books. I’ve contacted the publisher and will certainly be able to stock their books. Founded in 2011, they are dedicated to the restoration of classic genre fiction. Their forté is early science fiction, but they also publish mystery, horror, and westerns. They have a strong line of lost race novels. Their books are illustrated with art from the pulps and such.

In various inter- views Barks had referred to the “Landon correspondence course in cartooning” he’d taken when he was sixteen. Fascinated, I tried to find a copy of Landon’s course. After a couple of years of searching on eBay and other auction houses – where I was only able to find partial copies – I finally tracked down a com- plete copy from a New York rare book dealer. In the meantime, my research revealed that more than a few cartoonists from Barks’s generation had taken the Landon course.
