Film and Comic Books
By:"Ian Gordon","Mark Jancovich","Matthew P. McAllister"
Published on 2010-01-06 by Univ. Press of Mississippi

In Film and Comic Books contributors analyze the problems of adapting one medium to another; the translation of comics aesthetics into film; audience expectations, reception, and reaction to comic book-based films; and the adaptation of films into comics. A wide range of comic/film adaptations are explored, including superheroes (Spider-Man), comic strips (Dick Tracy), realist and autobiographical comics (American Splendor, Ghost World), and photo-montage comics (Mexico's El Santo). Essayists discuss films beginning with the 1978 Superman. That success led filmmakers to adapt a multitude of comic books for the screen including Marvel's Uncanny X-Men, the Amazing Spider-Man, Blade, and the Incredible Hulk as well as alternative graphic novels such as From Hell, V for Vendetta, and Road to Perdition. Essayists also discuss recent works from Mexico, France, Germany, and Malaysia. Essays from Timothy P. Barnard, Michael Cohen, Rayna Denison, Martin Flanagan, Sophie Geoffroy-Menoux, Mel Gibson, Kerry Gough, Jonathan Gray, Craig Hight, Derek Johnson, Pascal Lef?vre, Paul M. Malone, Neil Rae, Aldo J. Regalado, Jan van der Putten, and David Wilt Ian Gordon is associate professor of history and convenor of American studies at the National University of Singapore. Mark Jancovich is professor of film and television studies at the University of East Anglia. Matthew P. McAllister is associate professor of film, video, and media studies at Pennsylvania State University.

Comic Books
By:"Shirrel Rhoades"
Published on 2008 by Peter Lang

This book is an insider’s guide to how the comic book industry works. You’ll learn how comic book superheroes are created and the deeper meanings they represent. You’ll follow the development of sequential art storytelling – from caveman wall paintings to modern manga and cinematic techniques. Here you will explore comics in all forms: those flimsy pamphlets we call comic books; thick graphic novels; Japanese manga; and blockbuster movies featuring epic battles between good and evil. But behind it all, you’ll discover how comics are an intellectual property business, the real money found in licensed bedsheets and fast-food merchandise, heart-pounding theme park rides and collectible toys, video games, and Hollywood extravaganza featuring such popular superheroes as Spider-Man, Superman, X-Men, and Batman.

Along the way you will meet the hustlers, hucksters, hacks, and visionaries who made the American comic book what it is today. It’s an exciting journey, filled with mutants, changelings, atomized scientists, gamma-ray accidents, and supernaturally empowered heroes and villains who challenge the imagination and spark the secret identities lurking within us.

Published on 2007 by ProQuest

Over the past forty years, psychological self-help books have become increasingly popular. Despite the success of self-help books and popular psychology in the media, relatively little research has been done in this area, especially in self-selected and self-administered conditions. The purpose of this dissertation was to assess a representative sample of American women on their attitudes and beliefs about self-help books via an online survey. Specifically, this study examined 343 women's general positive or negative attitudes towards self-help material, beliefs about their credibility and effectiveness, ideas why women read self-help books, and what they perceive to be the best solutions to social, emotional, or behavioral problems. In addition to collecting demographic information, participant's attitudes towards feminism were also measured. Results from this study indicate that women were generally positive about self-help, did not believe they were effective, and prefer individual solutions for social, emotional, or behavioral problems. Demographic variables and feminist beliefs were not found to account for differences between \
