Abstract

La bande dessinée est aujourd’hui à un tournant de son histoire. Son image sociale s’est considérablement améliorée, sa légitimité culturelle ne fait plus guère débat. Or ces évolutions, qui font d’elle un objet de mieux en mieux identifié et de plus en plus reconnu, se produisent alors que le marché, lui, au sortir d’une période de croissance continue, connaît une véritable crise, impactant tant les marges des éditeurs que les revenus des auteurs. Dans le cadre des États généraux de la bande dessinée, lancés en janvier 2015, qui se proposent de "faire un bilan et une analyse la plus exhaustive possible de la situation", ce petit livre interroge à chaud les évolutions récentes de la production éditoriale, la féminisation de la profession, l’essor de la non-fiction, la situation de l’édition alternative, la multiplication des formations spécialisées, la percée de la bande dessinée sur le marché de l’art, sa place à l’université et quelques autres questions d’actualité (éditeur)

Abstract

Since the graphic novel rose to prominence half a century ago, it has become one of the fastest growing literary/artistic genres, generating interest from readers globally. The Cambridge Companion to the Graphic Novel examines the evolution of comic books into graphic novels and the distinct development of this art form both in America and around the world. This Companion also explores the diverse subgenres often associated with it, such as journalism, fiction, historical fiction, autobiography, biography, science fiction and fantasy. Leading scholars offer insights into graphic novel adaptations of prose works and the adaptation of graphic novels to films; analyses of outstanding graphic novels, like Maus and The Walking Man; an overview which distinguishes the international graphic novel from its American counterpart; and analyses of how the form works and what it teaches, making this book a key resource for scholars, graduate students and undergraduate students alike.

Abstract

For over seventy-five years, Archie and the gang at Riverdale High have been America's most iconic teenagers, delighting generations of readers with their never-ending exploits. But despite their ubiquity, Archie comics have been relatively ignored by scholars-until now. Twelve-Cent Archie is not only the first scholarly study of the Archie comic, it is an innovative creative work in its own right. Inspired by Archie's own concise storytelling format, renowned comics scholar Bart Beaty divides the book into a hundred short chapters, each devoted to a different aspect of the Archie comics. Fans of the comics will be thrilled to read in-depth examinations of their favorite characters and motifs, including individual chapters devoted to Jughead's hat and Archie's sweater-vest. But the book also has plenty to interest newcomers to Riverdale, as it recounts the behind-the-scenes history of the comics and analyzes how Archie helped shape our images of the American teenager. As he employs a wide range of theoretical and methodological approaches, Beaty reveals that the Archie comics themselves were far more eclectic, creative, and self-aware than most critics recognize. Equally comfortable considering everything from the representation of racial diversity to the semiotics of Veronica's haircut, Twelve-Cent Archie gives a fresh appreciation for America's most endearing group of teenagers.

Abstract

"This study offers a critical examination of the work of Gilbert and Jaime Hernandez, Mexican-American brothers whose graphic novels are highly influential. The Hernandez brothers started in the alt-comics scene, where their Love and Rockets series quickly gained prominence. They have since published in more mainstream venues but have maintained an outsider status based on their own background and the content of their work. Enrique García argues that the Hernandez brothers have worked to create a new American graphic storytelling that, while still in touch with mainstream genres, provides a transgressive alternative from an aesthetic, gender, and ethnic perspective. The brothers were able to experiment with and modify these genres by taking advantage of the editorial freedom of independent publishing. This freedom also allowed them to explore issues of ethnic and gender identity in transgressive ways. Their depictions of latinidad and sexuality push against the edicts of mainstream Anglophone culture, but they also defy many Latino perceptions of life, politics, and self-representation. The book concludes with an in-depth interview with Jaime and Gilbert Hernandez that touches on and goes beyond the themes explored in the book"--

Abstract

"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, but Murray demonstrates that there were a great many superheroes in Britain, and that they were often used as a way to comment on the relationship between Britain and America. British superhero stories sometimes emulated the style of American comics, but also frequently became sites of resistance to perceived American political and cultural imperialism, 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 are quite different from those in America, resulting in some different approaches to the figure of the superhero. He looks at the origins of the superhero and supervillain in nineteenth-century popular culture and in science fiction writing. From the penny dreadfuls of the 1830s to the emergence of British superheroes in the 1930s, 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 the British superheroes, and the comics' creators who fashioned them"--
