Book Synopsis Famous Funnies #146 by : Kari Therrian
Download or read book Famous Funnies #146 written by Kari Therrian and published by . This book was released on 2015-03-27 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: INVISIBLE SCARLETT O'NEIL DICKIE DARE NAPOLEON BIG CHIEF WAHOO SCORCHY SMITH ------- AND MUCH MORE! Although newspaper Sunday strips had been compiled before, for promotion purposes, Famous Funnies in 1936 became the first book of comic strips put together for sale to the public - at the significant price of 10-cents! Thus began the monthly mission of encouraging kids (and adults) to plop down a dime for their addiction. Famous Funnies began by reprinting the Sunday Comics sections, but soon graduated to original stories and original characters. The comic ran for almost 20 years and 218 issues, securing its place in American comic history and the first and one of the longest-running of the Golden Age. NOTE: THIS BOOK CONTAINS MATERIAL THAT IS NOT POLITICALLY CORRECT, AND MAY OFFEND MODERN SENSIBILITIES. The comic reprints from Golden Age Reprints and UP History and Hobby are reproduced from actual classic comics, and sometimes reflect the imperfection of books that are decades old. These books are constantly updated with the best version possible - if you are EVER unhappy with the experience or quality of a book, return the book to us to exchange for another title or the upgrade as new files become available.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Horror comics were among the first comic books published--ghastly tales that soon developed an avid young readership, along with a bad reputation. Parent groups, psychologists, even the United States government joined in a crusade to wipe out the horror comics industry--and they almost succeeded. Yet the genre survived and flourished, from the 1950s to today. This history covers the tribulations endured by horror comics creators and the broader impact on the comics industry. The genre's ultimate success helped launch the careers of many of the biggest names in comics. Their stories and the stories of other key players are included, along with a few surprises.

Book Synopsis Love on the Racks by : Michelle Nolan
Download or read book Love on the Racks written by Michelle Nolan and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2015-03-21 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the better part of three decades romance comics were an American institution. Nearly 6000 titles were published between 1947 and 1977, and for a time one in five comics sold in the U.S. was a romance comic. This first full-length study examines the several types of romance comics, their creators and publishing history. The author explores significant periods in the development of the genre, including the origins of Archie Comics and other teen publications, the romance comic "boom and bust" of the 1950s, and their sudden disappearance when fantasy and superhero comics began to dominate in the late 1970s.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To say that graphic novels, comics, and other forms of sequential art have become a major part of popular culture and academia would be a vast understatement. Now an established component of library and archive collections across the globe, graphic novels are proving to be one of the last kinds of print publications actually gaining in popularity. Full of practical advice and innovative ideas for librarians, educators, and archivists, this book provides a wide-reaching look at how graphic novels and comics can be used to their full advantage in educational settings. Topics include the historically tenuous relationship between comics and librarians; the aesthetic value of sequential art; the use of graphic novels in library outreach services; collection evaluations for both American and Canadian libraries; cataloging tips and tricks; and the swiftly growing realm of webcomics.

Book Synopsis Comics, Manga, and Graphic Novels by : Robert Petersen
Download or read book Comics, Manga, and Graphic Novels written by Robert Petersen and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2010-11-18 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This text examines comics, graphic novels, and manga with a broad, international scope that reveals their conceptual origins in antiquity. Graphic narrative art is a fascinating phenomenon that emerged centuries ago with the expansion of literacy and the publication industry. The earliest example of a repeating comic character dates back to the late 1700s. By following the growth of print technology in Europe and Asia, it is possible to understand how and why artists across cultures developed different strategies for telling stories with pictures. This book is much more than a history of graphic narrative across the globe. It examines broader conceptual developments that preceded the origins of comics and graphic novels; how those ideas have evolved over the last century and a half; how literacy, print technology, and developments in narrative art are interrelated; and the way graphic narratives communicate culturally significant stories. The work of artists such as William Hogarth, J. J. Grandville, Willhem Busch, Frans Masereel, Max Ernst, Saul Steinberg, Henry Darger, and Larry Gonick are discussed or depicted.
