This book was released on 2017-01-01 with total page 530 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: They were the very definition of Saturday morning TV for kids - Superman, Batman and Robin, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, and Wendy, Marvin, and Wonder Dog, then the Wonder Twins and Gleek, all wrapped up in a full-color, animated package called the Super Friends. Beginning in 1973 with the original hourlong series, then continuing through the 1980s, these heroes fought for justice, putting evil criminals (and quite a few misguided scientists!) in their place and making the world safe for mankind. What child of the '70s and '80s didn't love these adventures on Saturday morning, cereal bowl in hand? And new generations of kids continue to discover the Super Friends through re-airings and DVDs. Now Will Rodgers, a lifelong fan of the Super Friends, writes this ultimate companion to the series. Volume 1 of the print edition, which covers the 1970s incarnations of the "Super Friends," offers up goodies like these: Lengthy commentary and analysis of each episode of the 1970s series Character profiles of the heroes and villains A rundown of the DVD content for each '70s series Features on the history of the five main heroes in comics and other media and on the writing style of the "Super Friends" Retrospectives of superhero teamups over the years and the history of DC and Warner Bros. classic animation (Look for Volume 2 of "The Ultimate Super Friends Companion" for the rest of the story -- the 1980s, the comics and the toylines! And for both volumes combined into one e-book, see the Kindle edition!) Will leaves no stone unturned in his heavyweight analysis of the Super Friends. Join him at the Hall of Justice for this gigantic journey into geekery. As a special treat to fans, Shannon Farnon, the original voice of Wonder Woman, writes the foreword, and talented Baltimore artist Dale Cuthbertson offers his own interpretation of our heroes for the book's cover!

Download or read book Retcon Game written by Andrew J. Friedenthal and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 2017-04-03 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The superhero Wolverine time travels and changes storylines. On Torchwood, there's a pill popped to alter memories of the past. The narrative technique of retroactive continuity seems rife lately, given all the world-building in comics. Andrew J. Friedenthal deems retroactive continuity, or "retconning," as a force with many implications for how Americans view history and culture. Friedenthal examines this phenomenon in a range of media, from its beginnings in comic books and now its widespread shift into television, film, and digital media. Retconning has reached its present form as a result of the complicated workings of superhero comics. In comic books and other narratives, retconning often seems utilized to literally rewrite some aspect of a character's past, either to keep that character more contemporary, to erase stories from continuity that no longer fit, or to create future story potential. From comics, retconning has spread extensively, to long-form, continuity-rich dramas on television, such as Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Lost, and beyond. Friedenthal explains that in a culture saturated by editable media, where interest groups argue over Wikipedia pages and politicians can immediately delete questionable tweets, the retcon serves as a perfect metaphor for the ways in which history, and our access to information overall, has become endlessly malleable. In the first book to focus on this subject, Friedenthal regards the editable Internet hyperlink, rather than the stable printed footnote, as the de facto source of information in America today. To embrace retroactive continuity in fictional media means accepting that the past itself is not a stable element, but rather something constantly in contentious flux. Due to retconning's ubiquity within our media, we have grown familiar with narratives as inherently unstable, a realization that deeply affects how we understand the world.

This book was released on 2020-08-17 with total page 1009 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Routledge Companion to Gender and Sexuality in Comic Book Studies is a comprehensive, global, and interdisciplinary examination of the essential relationship between Gender, Sexuality, Comics, and Graphic Novels. A diverse range of international and interdisciplinary scholars take a closer look at how gender and sexuality have been essential in the evolution of comics, and how gender and sexuality in comics demand that we re-frame and re-view comics history. Chapters cover a wide array of intersectional topics including Queer Underground and Alternative comics, Feminist Autobiography, re-drawing disability, Latina testimony, and re-evaluating the critical whiteness and masculinity of superheroes in this first truly global reference text to gender and sexuality in comics. Comics have always been an important place for the radical exploration of feminist and non-binary sexualities and identities, and the growth of non-normative comic book traditions as a field of inquiry makes this an essential text for upper-level undergraduates, postgraduates, and researchers studying Comics Studies, Women’s and Gender Studies, Literary Studies, and Cultural Studies.
