        Der Mann ohne Eigenschaften

        Nach Robert Musil. Graphic Novel

        by Nicolas Mahler, Andreas Platthaus, Robert Musil

        Es gibt Bücher, die man einfach gelesen haben muss. Man weiß es und schreckt doch vor ihnen zurück. Zu gewaltig, zu anspruchsvoll, zu ehrfurchtgebietend muten sie einen an. Robert Musils »Der Mann ohne Eigenschaften« ist solch ein Romankoloss: Man grüßt ihn artig, um sich dann blitzschnell aus dem Staub zu machen. Wer sich aber an dieses Gebirge von Buch herantraut, wird bald überrascht feststellen, wie leicht und amüsant es zu lesen ist, und sich wundern, warum er sich dieses Vergnügen so lange hat entgehen lassen. Wenn ein solch ›wagemutiger‹ Leser dann auch noch zufällig ein so begnadeter Comic-Künstler wie Nicolas Mahler ist, dessen reduzierter Strich und lakonischer Humor ihn zu einem »internationalen Star der Zeichnerszene« (arte) werden ließen, entsteht aus der Begegnung mit Musils Jahrhundertroman etwas ganz und gar Einzigartiges: eine kongeniale Adaption, die ebenso tiefgründig wie übermütig ist.

        Ukrainian mal’opys: the (un) told story

        by Ruslana Koropetska, Vira Kordoba

        No one knows for sure at what point in history one should start talking about comics. It depends on the narrator and the point on the map where he is. Even though we are going to talk about Ukrainian mal’opys* here, we should stop at the start and by leaps and bounds to see from a bird's eye view that we are not alone in the multiple births, nativities, and discoveries of the ninth art form.

        La sopa más rica y otros cuentos (The most delicious soup and other stories)

        by Mariana Ruiz Johnson

        The most delicious soup and other stories brings together five stories that take place in the village of Villa Verde, the place where all the characters live and interact. The stories are apparently very simple, yet they offer readers a delicate literary experience woven from references, ways of naming the world, images, and experiences typical of young children. This book, moreover, shares many elements with comics. In fact, we could see it as a comic for very young children, where the author, Mariana Ruiz Johnson, has used nib and Indian ink and digital color to provide readers with images in warm colors and a very rich illustration work with thousands of details for the delight of readers.

        Comic empires

        Imperialism in cartoons, caricature, and satirical art

        by Richard Scully, Alan Lester, Andrekos Varnava

        Comic empires is a unique collection of new research exploring the relationship between imperialism and political cartoons, caricature, and satirical art. Edited by leading scholars across both fields (and with contributions from contexts as diverse as Egypt, Australia, the United States, and China, as well as Europe) the volume provides new perspectives on well-known events, and illuminates little-known players in the 'great game' of empire in modern times. Some of the finest comic art of the period is deployed as evidence, and examined seriously, in its own right, for the first time. Accessible to students of history at all levels, Comic empires is a major addition to the world-leading 'Studies in Imperialism' series, as well as standing alone as an innovative and significant contribution to the ever-growing international field of comics studies.

        Comic politics

        Gender in Hollywood Comedy

        by Mark Jancovich, Eric Schaefer

        Are Jim Carrey, Robin Williams, and Eddie Murphy the celluloid compatriots of Ronald Reagan, Margaret Thatcher and Tony Blair? This book argues that the rubber faces of '80s and '90s comedy films, helped to transform us into the flexible, self-managing citizens beloved of the new right—and its successors. Through its sustained look at the box-office comedies of the last two decades, Comic Politics provides a critical introduction to key approaches to comedy. It tests the usefulness and limits of psychoanalytics, Bakhtinian and postmodernist theory against comedians and comedies from Woody Allen to Wayne's World. The book includes a look at animation and computer enhanced comedies.
