Book excerpt: One of the most popular comic strips of the 1950s and the first to reference politics of the day, Walt Kelly's Pogo took on Joe McCarthy before the controversial senator was a blip on Edward R. Murrow's radar. The strip's satire was so biting, it was often relegated to newspaper editorial sections at a time when artists in other media were blacklisted for far less. Pogo was the vanguard of today's political comic strips, such as Doonesbury and Pearls Before Swine, and a precursor of the modern political parody of late night television. This comprehensive biography of Kelly reveals the life of a conflicted man and unravels the symbolism and word-play of his art for modern readers. There are 241 original Pogo comic strips illustrated and 13 other Kelly artworks (as well as illustrations by other cartoonists).

Download or read book Ten Ever-lovin' Blue-eyed Years with Pogo written by Walt Kelly and published by Simon & Schuster. This book was released on 1959 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pogo, a possum by trade, first appeared in a comic-book feature called "Bumbazine and Albert the Alligator" in 1943. Six years later, he was on his way up through the newspaper columns into the homes of millions of Americans. Today Pogo is as household a word as "blueberry pie," "who's-got-the-funnies?" and "probabobbly-me." Here now is the official tenth-anniversary history and commemoration of Pogo, spelled out in a selection of daily strips, Sunday pages, Pogo book stories and a sprinkling of verse, all wrapped up with a running commentary on this past decade in the Okefenokee Swamp and elsewhere by Walt Kelly. Life in the Swamp and life in the Elsewhere have more than a passing resemblance, as Pogo readers have long been aware. Kelly's creations are deeply embroiled in everything from Presidential elections to atomic bombs, from civil liberties and juvenile delinquency to schools and the Olympics, from beatniks and baseball to taxes, TV, togetherness, and just plain fun. This book is an attempt to answer the flood of letters over the years, asking, demanding, begging, cajoling and petitioning Kelly to gather together some of his work as a permanent collection. So here it is: ten ever lovin' blue eyed years - with Pogo and his friends and with the assorted pleasures and calamities, real and fancied, that have in these uneasy years shaken their world and ours.

Download or read book Icons of the American Comic Book [2 volumes] written by Randy Duncan and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2013-01-29 with total page 1022 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores how the heroes and villains of popular comic books—and the creators of these icons of our culture—reflect the American experience out of which they sprang, and how they have achieved relevance by adapting to, and perhaps influencing, the evolving American character. Multiple generations have thrilled to the exploits of the heroes and villains of American comic books. These imaginary characters permeate our culture—even Americans who have never read a comic book grasp what the most well-known examples represent. But these comic book characters, and their creators, do more than simply thrill: they make us consider who we are and who we aspire to be. Icons of the American Comic Book: From Captain America to Wonder Woman contains 100 entries that provide historical background, explore the impact of the comic-book character on American culture, and summarize what is iconic about the subject of the entry. Each entry also lists essential works, suggests further readings, and contains at least one sidebar that provides entertaining and often quirky insight not covered in the main entry. This two-volume work examines fascinating subjects, such as how the superhero concept embodied the essence of American culture in the 1930s; and the ways in which comic book icons have evolved to reflect changing circumstances, values, and attitudes regarding cultural diversity. The book's coverage extends beyond just characters, as it also includes entries devoted to creators, publishers, titles, and even comic book related phenomena that have had enduring significance.

Download or read book Adult Comics written by Roger Sabin and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-10-11 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a society where a comic equates with knockabout amusement for children, the sudden pre-eminence of adult comics, on everything from political satire to erotic fantasy, has predictably attracted an enormous amount of attention. Adult comics are part of the cultural landscape in a way that would have been unimaginable a decade ago. In this first survey of its kind, Roger Sabin traces the history of comics for older readers from the end of the nineteenth century to the present. He takes in the pioneering titles pre-First World War, the underground 'comix' of the 1960s and 1970s, 'fandom' in the 1970s and 1980s, and the boom of the 1980s and 1990s (including 'graphic novels' and Viz.). Covering comics from the United States, Europe and Japan, Adult Comics addresses such issues as the graphic novel in context, cultural overspill and the role of women. By taking a broad sweep, Sabin demonstrates that the widely-held notion that comics 'grew up' in the late 1980s is a mistaken one, largely invented by the media. Adult Comics: An Introduction is intended primarily for student use, but is written with the comic enthusiast very much in mind.
