Book excerpt: Before Buz Sawyer, Roy Crane wrote and drew Wash Tubbs a gag-a-day strip featuring the misadventures of the diminutive Washington Tubbs II beginning in 1924. It soon became one of the first adventure strips. On February 26, 1929, Crane introduced the soldier of fortune Captain Easy. In 1933 a Sunday Captain Easy strip was launched. Crane turned most of the art on the daily strip over to Leslie Turner to concentrate on the Sundays. The early Sundays featured some of Craneâe(tm)s finest work.In 1937 the NEA syndicate required all their Sunday strips to be designed to allow the dropping and rearrangement of panels to fit different formats. This greatly restricted Craneâe(tm)s artwork and he turned the Sundays over to Turner returning to the dailies. In 1943, Crane left the NEA to create Buz Sawyer. Turner drew the dailies while Walt Scott handled the dailies. During World War II, the strip focused on Captain Easy who in the army, and the daily stripâe(tm)s name was changed to Captain Easy to match the Sundays.The comic reprints from ecomicspace.com are reproduced from actual classic comics, and sometimes reflect the imperfection of books that are decades old...

Book The Phantom Unmasked

Download or read book The Phantom Unmasked written by Kevin Patrick and published by University of Iowa Press. This book was released on 2017-11-15 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Before Superman, before Batman, there was—the Phantom! Making its debut as an American newspaper comic strip in 1936, The Phantom was the forerunner of the comic-book superhero genre that today animates vast billion-dollar franchises spanning print, film, television, video games, and licensed merchandise. But you’ve probably never heard of it—you probably think Superman inaugurated the genre. That’s because, despite its American origins, The Phantom comic strip has enjoyed far greater popularity with international audiences, most notably in Australia, Sweden, and India, where it has appeared in newspapers, magazines, and comic books. The paradox of the character’s relative obscurity in the United States, offset by his phenomenal success in these three markedly different countries, is the subject of The Phantom Unmasked. By tracing the publication history of The Phantom in magazines and comic books across international markets since the mid-1930s, author Kevin Patrick delves into the largely unexplored prehistory of modern media licensing industries. He also explores the interconnections between the cultural, political, economic, and historical factors that fueled the character’s international popularity. The Phantom Unmasked offers readers a nuanced study of the complex cultural flow of American comic books around the world. Equally important, to provide a rare glimpse of international comics fandom, Patrick surveyed the Phantom’s “phans”—as they call themselves—and lets them explain how and why they came to love the world’s first masked superhero.

Download or read book Superheroes written by Laurence Maslon and published by Crown Archetype. This book was released on 2013-10-01 with total page 708 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Superman, Batman, Spider-Man, Iron Man, Wonder Woman, the Avengers, the X-Men, Watchmen, and more: the companion volume to the PBS documentary series of the same name that tells the story of the superhero in American popular culture. Together again for the first time, here come the greatest comic book superheroes ever assembled between two covers: down from the heavens—Superman and the Mighty Thor—or swinging over rooftops—the Batman and Spider-Man; star-spangled, like Captain America and Wonder Woman, or clad in darkness, like the Shadow and Spawn; facing down super-villains on their own, like the Flash and the Punisher or gathered together in a team of champions, like the Avengers and the X-Men! Based on the three-part PBS documentary series Superheroes, this companion volume chronicles the never-ending battle of the comic book industry, its greatest creators, and its greatest creations. Covering the effect of superheroes on American culture—in print, on film and television, and in digital media—and the effect of American culture on its superheroes, Superheroes: Capes, Cowls, and the Creation of Comic Book Culture appeals to readers of all ages, from the casual observer of the phenomenon to the most exacting fan of the genre. Drawing from more than 50 new interviews conducted expressly for Superheroes!—creators from Stan Lee to Grant Morrison, commentators from Michael Chabon to Jules Feiffer, actors from Adam West to Lynda Carter, and filmmakers such as Zach Snyder—this is an up-to-the-minute narrative history of the superhero, from the comic strip adventurers of the Great Depression, up to the blockbuster CGI movie superstars of the 21st Century. Featuring more than 500 full-color comic book panels, covers, sketches, photographs of both essential and rare artwork, Superheroes is the definitive story of this powerful presence in pop culture.
