After World War II, many comic books went from being mixed anthologies to being of specific genres, which eventually resulted in the comics code because many smaller publishers pushed the envelope too far with horror and crime material (that and comics made a good whipping boy). Superheroic comics nearly faded away but once the silver age superhero revival was firmly in place in the early sixties, superheroes slowly began to dominate the market and many genres essentially disappeared.
Today, if it weren't for small publishers, there wouldn't be much represented in comic books except superheroes and teen comedies, with a smattering of horror and science fiction.
Which of the defunct or delapidated genres would you like to see revived? Westerns? Funny Animals (other than the few from Disney in the U.S.)? War? Romance? Sword & Sorcery? Crime? Some genre I haven't mentioned?
Crime.
Hands down.
There isn't any good Crime these days.

If you were reading comic books in the early 1950's, and you wanted quality Western stories that went beyond the pretty photo on the cover, the best place to find them was a small outfit known as Magazine Enterprizes...
When we contemplate a memorable old comic book, the first thing that comes to mind is its cover, and that was no accident. Publishers realized fairly quickly that if they spent a little extra to hire a good cover artist, they could fill the insides with mediocrity and still make a sizable profit that all it took was a striking cover to entice thousands of kids to fork over their dimes. Even today, covers drive the collectors market. Apart from number-one issues and first appearances, the strength of a comic book s cover is the first consideration in determining its value. Indeed, it is now common practice to entomb the book between slabs of sealed plastic with only the cover visible as if the interior pages sole purpose was to provide a place to secure the staples. In order to locate the best possible examples, collectors from around the world have been enlisted to share their rare and valuable comic books. The scores of cover artists represented include Carl Barks, Charles Biro, Dick Briefer, L.B. Cole, Jack Cole, Reed Crandall, Will Eisner, Bill Everett, Lou Fine, Walt Kelly, Jack Kirby, Mac Raboy, and Alex Schomburg. Every comic book genre will be explored, from superhero to detective to Western to funny animal. Majestic, iconic, chaotic, or downright weird, a classic comic book cover has an undeniable appeal, and Action Mystery Thrills celebrates in spades this unique cultural icon. The covers will be printed full-sized on glossy paper to most faithfully replicate the originals, and arranged chronologically to give the reader a sense of the sweeping trends and stylistic developments throughout the medium s first decade, as inexorable waves of dazzling imagery battled monthly for newsstand attention.
This book takes an inside look at the artists who created the Silver Age of comics. Based on dozens of interviews, this book carefully shows the development of the art of comic book storytelling from its roots in comic strips and the first generation of comic book artists in the Golden Age. Hundreds of pieces of original artwork illustrate the lengthy text.

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Comic Cavalcade was a comic book series published by AllAmerican Publications and later DC Comics. It ran 63 issues, coverdated Winter 1942/43 to Summer 1954. Most American comic book publishers in the 1930s and 40s Golden Age of comic books published anthology titles that showcased a variety of characters, usually with one star such as Green Lantern in AllAmerican Comics or Wonder Woman in Sensation Comics. Comic Cavalcade, however, featured both those star characters as well as the Flash, a star in his own namesake title as well as the spinoff AllFlash.

The Wild West has been romanticized in American culture ever since the dime novels capturing the exploits of Jesse James were produced in the years directly following the Civil War, and the Western genre continues to enthrall audiences to this day. The stories of frontiersmen, outlaws, cowboys, Indians, prospectors, and marksmen surviving the harshest of environments through wit, skill, and determination, or meeting their end by bullet, noose, or exposure speak to what it means to be American and play an essential part in how we define ourselves as a nation. These mythic stories have been captured and created in almost every popular mass medium of the past century and beyond from tabloids to novels, radio plays, television shows, and movies.Now, powerHouse Books is pleased to present a collection of these uniquely American stories as told through a uniquely American medium…the comic book! Golden Age Western Comics lovingly reproduces in full-color, restored, complete scans of 20 of the best Western stories—plus a few pin-ups—created between the years 1948 and 1956. These lavishly illustrated stories of guts and glory, violence and valor, intrigue, romance, and betrayal, on the range and in lawless frontier towns, were created by some of the best artists and writers of the era. The action flies off the page in stories such as “The Tragedy at Massacre Pass,” and “Breakout in rondo Prison,” from the greatest earliest publishing houses, including: Fawcett, Charlton, Avon, Youthful, and more.Golden Age Western Comics is a collection unlike any other and is sure to delight fans of rootin-tootin, gun-toting, adventure of all ages!Featuring Western Legends of Life, Literature, and Filmdom such as:• Wild Bill Hickok• Jesse James• Annie Oakley• Davy Crockett• Daniel “Dan’l” Boone• Tex Ritter• Lash Larue• Gabby Hayes• Tom MixAnd Many More!
Comics emerged parallel to, and in several ways intertwined with, the development of modern urban mass societies at the turn of the 20th century. On the one hand, urban topoi, self-portrayals, forms of urban cultural memories, and variant readings of the city (strolling, advertising, architecture, detective stories, mass phenomena, street life, etc.) are all incorporated into comics. On the other hand, comics have unique abilities to capture urban space and city life because of their hybrid nature, consisting of words, pictures, and sequences. These formal aspects of comics are also to be found within the cityscape itself: one can see the influence of comic book aesthetics all around us today. . With chapters on the very earliest comic strips, and on artists as diverse as Alan Moore, Carl Barks, Will Eisner and Jacques Tardi, Comics and the City is an important new collection of international scholarship that will help to define the field for many years to come.

Settled as New Towne in 1631, Cambridge was referred to by Wood, a seventeenth-century chronicler, as "one of the neatest and best compacted towns in New England." The founding of Harvard College in 1636 was to ensure the town's notoriety, as it was the first college in the New World. Harvard gave Cambridge a cosmopolitan flavor, but the town retained its open farmland and its well-known fisheries along the Charles and Alewife Rivers for nearly two centuries. By the early nineteenth century Cambridge saw tremendous development, with industrial concerns in Cambridgeport. New residents swelled Cambridge's population so much that it became a city in 1846. These changes, which included horse-drawn streetcars and, later, the Elevated Railway that is today known as the Red Line, made Cambridge a place of convenient residence. With the large-scale development in the late nineteenth century, Cambridge became a thriving nexus of cultural diversity.
The System of Comics by Thierry Groensteen translated by Bart Beaty and Nick Nguyen. This edition of Thierry Groensteen's The System of Comics makes available in English a groundbreaking work on comics by one of the medium's foremost scholars. In this book, originally published in France in 1999, Groensteen ranges broadly through the history of comics to explain clearly the subtle, complex workings of the medium and its unique way of combining visual, verbal, spatial, and chronological expressions. The System of Comics uses examples from a wide variety of countries including the United States, England, Japan, France, and Argentina. It describes and analyzes the properties and functions of speech and thought balloons, panels, strips, and pages to examine methodically and insightfully the medium's fundamental processes. From this, Groensteen develops his own coherent, overarching theory of comics, a "system" that he builds on existing studies of the "word and image" paradigm while adding innovative approaches of his own. Examining both meaning and appreciation, the book provides a wealth of ideas that will challenge the way scholars approach the study of comics. By emphasizing not simply "storytelling techniques" but also the qualities of the printed page and the reader's engagement, the book's approach is broadly applicable to all forms of interpreting this evolving art. Thierry Groensteen is a comics scholar born in Brussels, Belgium, the founding publisher of Editions de l'An 2, and the curator of the Angouleme Comics Museum in Angouleme, France. Bart Beaty is associate professor of communication and culture at the University of Calgary. Nick Nguyen is an archivist at Library andArchives Canada in Ottawa, Ontario.

Since at least 1939, when daily-strip caveman Alley Oop time-traveled to the Trojan War, comics have been drawing (on) material from Greek and Roman myth, literature and history. At times the connection is cosmetic-as perhaps with Wonder Woman's Amazonian heritage-and at times it is almost irrelevant-as with Hercules' starfaring adventures in the 1982 Marvel miniseries. But all of these make implicit or explicit claims about the place of classics in modern literary culture. Classics and Comics is the first book to explore the engagement of classics with the epitome of modern popular literature, the comic book. The volume collects sixteen articles, all specially commissioned for this volume, that look at how classical content is deployed in comics and reconfigured for a modern audience. It opens with a detailed historical introduction surveying the role of classical material in comics since the 1930s. Subsequent chapters cover a broad range of topics, including the incorporation of modern theories of myth into the creation and interpretation of comic books, the appropriation of characters from classical literature and myth, and the reconfiguration of motif into a modern literary medium. Among the well-known comics considered in the collection are Frank Miller's 300 and Sin City, DC Comics' Wonder Woman, Jack Kirby's The Eternals, Neil Gaiman's Sandman, and examples of Japanese manga. The volume also includes an original 12-page "comics-essay," drawn and written by Eisner Award-winning Eric Shanower, creator of the graphic novel series Age of Bronze.
Starting in the mid-1980s, a talented set of comics artists changed the American comic-book industry forever by introducing adult sensibilities and aesthetic considerations into popular genres such as superhero comics and the newspaper strip. Frank MillerÃ?'s Batman: The Dark Knight Returns (1986) and Alan Moore and Dave GibbonsÃ?'s Watchmen (1987) revolutionized the former genre in particular. During this same period, underground and alternative genres began to garner critical acclaim and media attention beyond comics-specific outlets, as best represented by Art SpiegelmanÃ?'s Maus . Publishers began to collect, bind, and market comics as Ã?"graphic novels,Ã?" and these appeared in mainstream bookstores and in magazine reviews. The Rise of the American Comics Artist: Creators and Contexts brings together new scholarship surveying the production, distribution and reception of American comics from this pivotal decade to the present. The collection specifically explores the figure of the comics creatorÃ?--either as writer, as artist, or as writer and artistÃ?--in contemporary U.S. comics, using creators as focal points to evaluate changes to the industry, its aesthetics, and its critical reception. The book also includes essays on landmark creators such as Joe Sacco, Art Spiegelman, and Chris Ware, as well as insightful interviews with Jeff Smith ( Bone ), Jim Woodring ( Frank ) and Scott McCloud ( Understanding Comics ). As comics have reached new audiences, through different material and electronic forms, the publicÃ?'s broad perception of what comics are has changed. The Rise of the American Comics Artist surveys the ways in which the figure of the creator has been at the heart of these evolutions.

A map showing the same portion of the sky exactly one year later would look very similar to the first one. ?
What would probably be different?
Explain your anwer.
Also, (if possible) The stars in the constellation Draco form the shape of a dragon. Can you infer that the stars in Draco are close together? Why or why not?
THANKS!
The stars would all appear in the same locations and brightnesses.
The only things that would be different would be:
- a comet could be in that portion of the sky
- a nova or supernova could have appeared (though that is very unlikely)
If that portion of the sky was close to the ecliptic, then you may also see that:
- the planets may be in different positions
- the moon may or may not appear depending on the date and the moon's orbit
Constellations are the shapes people believe they see in the random arrangement of stars in the sky. From simply looking at the constellation there is no way to infer if the stars are close or not - the sky is 2-dimensional and there is no way from simply looking to know the distance to each star (the 3rd dimension).
