Sinopse

"Western Comics" examines the evolution of the Western genre within comic books, revealing how this visual medium shaped popular narratives about the American West. Did you know that Western comics played a crucial role in both perpetuating and challenging common perceptions of westward expansion and American identity? By analyzing visual storytelling techniques, the book highlights how artists use panels and character design to convey meaning.

 
The book explores the Western genre's historical roots, tracing its origins from dime novels to early cinema, and then delves into the visual language of comics. It is structured in three parts, beginning with the early pioneers of Western comics like "The Lone Ranger," then focusing on the complex representation of marginalized groups, and finally examining the genre's modern evolution that includes revisionist history and social commentary. This approach is unique because it analyzes not only the narratives but also the visual rhetoric within the comic panels.

 
Through in-depth analyses of individual comic books and examination of the cultural and historical elements, "Western Comics" offers a unique perspective on the intersection of comics, American history, and cultural representation. The book argues that Western comics actively participate in shaping our understanding of this pivotal period, making it valuable for those interested in Film & Television, History, and cultural studies.

A cruel conqueror has captured the Spanish city of Fuente Ovejuna. As his reign of terror builds, the townspeople look within themselves to find the courage to overthrow him. The eminent Spanish playwright Lope de Vega based his best-known play on a historical incident that took place in 1476. Written in the early 17th century, the play remains a timely meditation on honor and selflessness in the face of oppression.

Voodoo, D'Angelo's much-anticipated 2000 release, set the standard for the musical cycle ordained as "neo-soul," a label the singer and songwriter would reject more than a decade later. The album is a product of heightened emotions and fused sensibilities; an amalgam of soul, rock, jazz, gospel, hip-hop, and Afrobeats. D'Angelo put to music his own pleasures and insecurities as a man-child in the promised land. It was both a tribute to his musical heroes: Prince, Sly Stone, Marvin Gaye, J Dilla...and a deconstruction of rhythm and blues itself.Despite nearly universal acclaim, the sonic expansiveness of Voodoo proved too nebulous for airplay on many radio stations, seeping outside the accepted lines of commercial R&B music. Voodoo was Black, it was definitely magic, and it was nearly overshadowed by a four-minute music video featuring D'Angelo's sweat-glistened six-pack abs. "The Video" created an accentuated moment when the shaman lost control of the spell he cast.

But keeping Oasis on the rails after debut album Definitely Maybe ignited their rise toward global superstardom would be the toughest gig of them all. Oasis would explode into public consciousness and have the world at their feet in the wake of their epic first album and a huge world tour. Iain was side-by-side as their road manager and minder, twenty-four hours a day, eight days a week, as they took on the world and won. No one was closer. Now updated with new unpublished material to celebrate the thirty year anniversary of Definitely Maybe and ahead of their upcoming reunion tour, this story is the defining chronicle of life on tour with Oasis.

This book is about that discovery: part study in the art of singing, part guide to finding one’s voice, and part memoir. This book is a must-have for anyone who knows they should be singing.
