    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.

  • Women's Comics Anthology, 2Nd Ed
    Introduction Comics have long been the rumored domain of nerdy boys who live in their mommies’ basements, old fat men in bathrobes, and pretentious, nasal-voiced misanthropes who only quiet their own rude hypothosizing when a live human female walks by. This, however, is evidently untrue. If anthologies are to be taken as any sort of state of the industry, women comprise exactly 16% of it, far too great a number to justify such boy-replete imaginaries. This comics anthology, Women’s Comics Anthology, argues that indeed, anthologies are to be taken as a state of the industry. Not, however, a mathematically accurate one. My own experience, for example—the driving force behind this project—tells me that far more than sixteen out of every hundred creators are female. During the times when I made it my business to read every comic I came across, including but not limited to reading for the Best American Comics series, it was clear to me that women comprise closer to 40% of the industry. Few are published by anyone but themselves, however, and even fewer stick around long enough to make names for themselves. Women comics artists, it would seem, simply don’t often have what it takes to make it. Or perhaps there’s another explanation for why so many women artists made so few appearances in the anthologies we researched for this volume—if they appeared at all. Indeed, in a series of interviews, surveys, public discussions, and panel presentations with female and trans creators both famous and forgotten (to be published in a forthcoming volume), women who 3 work in comics tell remarkably similar stories: of barely perceptible gender-based discrimination; of very occasional social discomfort; and of vague, gnawing sensations that, indeed, their sex has kept them from or allowed for opportunities in the industry that should have been available based on talent.

The modern comic derives from what many term "the golden age," specifically with the introduction of Superman. The "man of steel" triggered a fascination with comic book heroes; heroes who took flawed forms in the 1960s. Today, the comic serves not only as a vehicle for super-heroes, but also as a channel for political thought, education, alternative culture, and critiques of society. Contemporary interest in the comic trade, spurred by conventions and independent distribution, fosters a creative environment in which new genres and edgy content drive the scene.
