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.

The ArtsJanuary 2023Ukrainian 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.

February 2001Comic 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.

Ulli Lust, eine der bedeutendsten deutschsprachigen Comic-Künstler und erst kürzlich mit dem Comic-Oscar, dem Prix Révélation, ausgezeichnet, legt hier Marcel Beyers verstörendes Meisterwerk als Graphic Novel vor.

October 2015Partyspaß mit Kant
Philosofunnies
by Nicolas Mahler
Nicolas Mahlers kleine Comic-Geschichte der Philosophie von Platon bis Foucault Philosophie ist unverständlich, langweilig und witzlos? Denkste! Das kann nur der behaupten, der noch nicht Nicolas Mahlers ebenso kluge wie subtil komische Comic-Geschichte der Philosophie kennt. Hier erzählt er bislang unbekannte Szenen aus dem Leben der 22 berühmtesten Philosophinnen und Philosophen: Wir erleben Partyspaß mit Kant, besuchen mit Hegel eine Kunstausstellung, sind mit Marx im Supermarkt und mit Nietzsche im Pfadfinderlager, gehen mit Deleuze ins Kino und feiern Traumhochzeit mit Simone de Beauvoir … Und auch wenn sich nichts so zugetragen hat, haben wir mehr über das Leben, Denken und Fühlen des jeweiligen Philosophen erfahren als je zuvor – und wie selten über die Absurdität unserer menschlichen Existenz gelacht.

March 2024Wilhelm Busch »Wer Sorgen hat, hat auch Likör«
by Paula Schmid, Burkhard Neie
»Dieses war der erste Streich und der nächste folgt sogleich«: Seine Bildergeschichten sind Allgemeingut, seine Reime sprichwörtlich geworden. Wilhelm Busch hat seine Mitmenschen mit Sympathie, aber unbestechlich und ohne ein Blatt vor den Mund zu nehmen, gezeichnet und beschrieben: ihre Gesinnung, die Habgier, die Frivolität und Rücksichtslosigkeit. Als »ernsthafter Maler« blieb ihm größere Anerkennung und Ansehen versagt, als Autor und Grafiker wurde er zu einem der meistgelesenen Künstler Deutschlands, avancierte schon bald zum Klassiker der komischen Literatur. Bedeutende Zeichner, Autoren und Comic-Künstler haben ihn als ihr Vorbild bezeichnet. Der vorliegende Band bietet ein kleines ABC seiner berühmten Sentenzen aus Max und Moritz oder der Frommen Helene, aus Maler Klecksel und Balduin Bählamm, ergänzt mit seinen bekanntesten Gedichten und Aphorismen. Den Band rundet ein Auszug aus seiner autobiografischen Skizze Von mir über mich ab: »Das Reden tut dem Menschen gut, wenn man es nämlich selber tut.«
