    Adapting the Graphic Novel Format for Undergraduate Level Textbooks

    ADAPTING THE GRAPHIC NOVEL FORMAT FOR UNDERGRADUATE LEVEL TEXTBOOKS DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Brian M. Kane, M.A. Graduate Program in Arts Administration, Education, and Policy The Ohio State University 2013 Dissertation Committee: Professor Candace Stout, Advisor Professor Clayton Funk Professor Shari Savage Professor Arthur Efland Copyright by Brian M. Kane 2013 i ABSTRACT This dissertation explores ways in which the graphic narrative (graphic novel) format for storytelling, known as sequential art, can be adapted for undergraduate-level introductory textbooks across disciplines. Currently, very few graphic textbooks exist, and many of them lack the academic rigor needed to give them credibility. My goal in this dissertation is to examine critically both the strengths and weaknesses of this art form and formulate a set of standards and procedures necessary for developing new graphic textbooks that are scholastically viable for use in college-level instruction across disciplines. To the ends of establishing these standards, I have developed a four-pronged information-gathering approach. First I read as much pre factum qualitative and quantitative data from books, articles, and Internet sources as possible in order to establish my base of inquiry. Second, I created a twelve-part dissertation blog (graphictextbooks.blogspot.com) where I was able to post my findings and establish my integrity for my research among potential interviewees. Third, I interviewed 16 professional graphic novel/graphic textbook publishers, editors, writers, artists, and scholars as well as college professors and librarians. Finally, I sent out an online survey consisting of a sample chapter of an existing graphic textbook to college professors and asked if the content of the source material was potentially effective for their own instruction in undergraduate teaching.

Hulshof-Schmidt 1 Robert Hulshof-Schmidt How Lust Was Lost: Genre, Identity, and the Neglect of a Pioneering Comics Publication In 1950, comic book publisher St. John released a self-proclaimed “Picture Novel” titled It Rhymes With Lust, a 128-page digest sized book written by the pseudonymous Drake Waller (in fact the team of Arthur Drake and Leslie Waller). Their story blended the romance and crime genres popular in comics of the day and featured art by St. John stalwarts Matt Baker (pencils) and Ray Osrin (inks). An unusual publishing experiment, It Rhymes With Lust can arguably be considered the first graphic novel, but is seldom recognized as such. In this paper I will explore the novel’s overlooked place in comics history, and examine key reasons for this omission.

    Les Sources Du Graphic Novel: Des Romanssans Paroles De Lynd Ward À It Rhymes with Lust D'arnold Drake Et Matt Baker

    Les sources du graphic novel: des romanssans paroles de Lynd Ward à it rhymes with lust d'Arnold Drake et Matt Baker Jean-Paul Gabilliet Université Michel de Montaigne — Bordeaux 3 (França) Resumo Este artigo examina as formas primitivas que os americanos batizaram de “graphic novels” (romance gráfico) a partir dos anos 70. Dos “romances” sob a forma de gravuras em madeira produzidas pelo artista americano Lynd Ward nos anos 30 e 40 ao “picture novel” It Rhymes With Lust em formato de livro de bolso publicado em 1950 pelo editor popular St. John, passando por diversas experiências “sérias” ou “populares”, assiste-se no meio do século XX nos Estados Unidos a tentativas dispersas de fazer narrativa com imagens em formatos próximos do desenho em quadrinhos sem o ser de fato. Daí uma possibilidade de reflexão sobre onde começa e onde termina a forma “desenho em quadrinhos” e uma interrogação sobre as condições de legitimidade e de ilegitimidade cultural das histórias com imagens na América do meio do século XX. Palavras-chave: desenho em quadrinho artístico; romance gráfico; narração gráfica; Estados Unidos. This paper looks into the early forms of what Americans have called "graphic novel" as of the 1970s. From fine artist Lynd Ward's 1930s and 40s woodcut novels to the film noir pastiche It Rhymes With Lust released in 1950 by pulp publisher St John, via a number of drawn narratives released by both popular and highbrow companies in-between, a number of disparate graphic story-telling experiments in comic strip- like or quasi-comic strip formats appeared in the United States in the mid-20th century.
  • Spionaggio E Graphic Novel

    Spionaggio E Graphic Novel

    FUMETTO Spionaggio e graphic novel GIUSEPPE POLLICELLI Un graphic novel è un fumetto abbastanza lungo nello sviluppo narrativo, tale da poter essere accostato a un romanzo. Qualunque altra definizione va respinta poiché inesatta e, spesso, ingiustamente penalizzante nei confronti del linguaggio fumettistico. Un romanzo grafico, non diversamente da uno in prosa, può frequentare qualsiasi segmento dell’immaginario e, dunque, non mancano quelli di genere spionistico. L’autore di fumetti che si è maggiormente distinto uando si parla di fumetti capita con sempre maggiore frequenza, soprattutto sui nell’abbinare la formula del romanzo grafico media, di imbattersi nella locuzione in lingua inglese graphic novel, che tradotta allo spionaggio è l’americano Matt Kindt che, Qletteralmente in italiano significa «romanzo grafico».

  • Graphic Novels: a Brief History and Overview for Library Managers

    Graphic Novels: a Brief History and Overview for Library Managers

    Graphic Novels: A Brief History and Overview for Library Managers Janet Pinkley and Kaela Casey Abstract Graphic novels have long fought to gain literary recognition; however, as the struggle has unfolded, graphic novels have not only achieved this, but have also been recognized for their uses and applications within other disciplines as well. These books have overcome the medium’s criticisms of violence, sexual situations, and stereotypes of male power, and have earned their place in our society, and in libraries. As more libraries, both public and academic, integrate graphic novels into their collections, the potential for criticism and censorship attempts increases. Graphic novels deserve the same recognition and consideration for inclusion in libraries as other literary formats; therefore, library managers must have a basic understanding of the format in order to defend their inclusion in collections to critics. Introduction Twenty years ago Keith R.A. DeCandido, in his article “Picture This: Graphic Novels in Libraries,” indicated that both libraries and The American Heritage Dictionary had yet to discover graphic novels.1 Since then, graphic novels have not only appeared in libraries and bookstores, but have become an integral part of popular culture and a vital aspect of the literary community. After spending decades struggling for recognition, educators are now praising graphic novels, libraries are ordering them, and bookstores are selling them. Despite enduring criticism and scrutiny, graphic novels are finally being recognized
