Did Hitler commit suicide, or was he shot by Russian troops? Do you remember what year Princess Diana died in that car crash in Paris? How many husbands did Elizabeth Taylor divorce in her lifetime?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chris Murray reveals the largely unknown and rather surprising history of the British superhero. It is often thought that Britain did not have its own superheroes, yet Murray demonstrates that there were a great many in Britain and that they were often used as a way to comment on the relationship between Britain and America. Sometimes they emulated the style of American comics, but they also frequently became sites of resistance to perceived American political and cultural hegemony, drawing upon satire and parody as a means of critique. Murray illustrates that the superhero genre is a blend of several influences, and that in British comics these influences were quite different from those in America, resulting in some contrasting approaches to the figure of the superhero. He identifies the origins of the superhero and supervillain in nineteenth-century popular culture such as the penny dreadfuls and boys' weeklies and in science fiction writing of the 1920s and 1930s. He traces the emergence of British superheroes in the 1940s, the advent of "fake" American comics, and the reformatting of reprinted material. Murray then chronicles the British Invasion of the 1980s and the pivotal roles in American superhero comics and film production held by British artists today. This book will challenge views about British superheroes and the comics creators who fashioned them. Murray brings to light a gallery of such comics heroes as the Amazing Mr X, Powerman, Streamline, Captain Zenith, Electroman, Mr Apollo, Masterman, Captain Universe, Marvelman, Kelly's Eye, Steel Claw, the Purple Hood, Captain Britain, Supercats, Bananaman, Paradax, Jack Staff, and SuperBob. He reminds us of the significance of many such creators and artists as Len Fullerton, Jock McCail, Jack Glass, Denis Gifford, Bob Monkhouse, Dennis M. Reader, Mick Anglo, Brendan McCarthy, Alan Moore, Grant Morrison, Dave Gibbons, and Mark Millar.

Book excerpt: Arguing that British comics are distinct from their international counterparts, a unique showcase of the major role they have played in the imaginative lives of British youth—and some adults. In this entertaining cultural history of British comic papers and magazines, James Chapman shows how comics were transformed in the early twentieth century from adult amusement to imaginative reading matter for children. Beginning with the first British comic, Ally Sloper—known as “A Selection, Side-splitting, Sentimental, and Serious, for the Benefit of Old Boys, Young Boys, Odd Boys generally, and even Girls”—British Comics goes on to describe the heyday of comics in the 1950s and ’60s, when titles such as School Friend and Eagle sold a million copies a week. Chapman also analyzes the major genres, including schoolgirl fantasies and sports and war stories for boys; the development of a new breed of violent comics in the 1970s, including the controversial Action and 2000AD; and the attempt by American publisher, Marvel, to launch a new hero for the British market in the form of Captain Britain. Considering the work of important contemporary comic writers such as Alan Moore, Grant Morrison, Ian Edginton, Warren Ellis, and Garth Ennis, Chapman’s history comes right up to the present and takes in adult-oriented comics such as Warrior, Crisis, Deadline,and Revolver, and alternative comics such as Viz. Through a look at the changing structure of the comic publishing industry and how comic publishers, writers, and artists have responded to the tastes of their consumers, Chapman ultimately argues that British comics are distinctive and different from American, French, and Japanese comics. An invaluable reference for all comic collectors and fans in Britain and beyond, British Comics showcases the major role comics have played in the imaginative lives of readers young and old.

Download or read book Reclaiming Nostalgia written by Jennifer K. Ladino and published by University of Virginia Press. This book was released on 2012 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Often thought of as the quintessential home or the Eden from which humanity has fallen, the natural world has long been a popular object of nostalgic narratives. In Reclaiming Nostalgia, Jennifer Ladino assesses the ideological effects of this phenomenon by tracing its dominant forms in American literature and culture since the closing of the frontier in 1890. While referencing nostalgia for pastoral communities and for untamed and often violent frontiers, she also highlights the ways in which nostalgia for nature has served as a mechanism for social change, a model for ethical relationships, and a motivating force for social and environmental justice.

Book excerpt: Destined For Nostalgia raises from the grave and lets breathe again a decade over forty years deceased Using two, highly varied writing styles, and backed by astounding recollection, the author's mind enters a time portal and reincarnates back to the 1950s; not to revisit but to relive his own growing-up experiences amid a vibrant socio-cultural neighborhood inherent in a single urban family and embracing a single urban block. Here is an insightful and sensual work that journeys through multifarious events and emotions, some hilarious and heartwarming, others virtuous and zestful, while some sorrowful and disenchanting. In Volume One the author presents a vivid account of the impact of TV and his obsession with certain character rolls; the unwarranted acts of parochial despotism yet the positive value system it evoked; the horde of friends with whom he was raised and those "regular" guys who "hung out" to their hearts' content; the audacious, bizarre, and not-so-nice acts of boyhood antics that searched for big trouble yet spawned a bundle of laughs; and the medical world to which he was subjected, and the fears that evolved from its methodologies. Here is the beginning of a uniquely personal yet broadly conceptual saga, a bold exposition that even holds in contempt the drawbacks of the decade he cherishes. Here are the 1950s and their splendid, unyielding moral force, of the family unit and of individuals, and the crazed nature of a boyhood and the innocence of its visions. Here is a captivating tour through a decade imbued with honor and respect, but not without its periodic surges of defiance and malice. Destined For Nostalgia (Volume One and beyond), in large part, is more than whatthe 1950s entailed; it's what the 1950s portrayed.
