Synopsis

Horror Comics History explores the rise and fall of a controversial art form in post-war America. Delving into the graphic world of horror comics, the book examines their popularity, the social anxieties they mirrored, and the censorship that ultimately curtailed their artistic freedom.

 
The book highlights how these comics, filled with gore and the supernatural, became a focal point in a moral panic fueled by concerns about juvenile delinquency, even leading to the establishment of the Comics Code Authority, which significantly sanitized the industry.

 
The book charts the ascent of horror comics, dissects the moral panic they ignited, and analyzes the lasting impact of censorship. It begins with the pioneers of the genre, moves through the thematic elements that defined these comics, and culminates in the establishment of the Comics Code Authority.

 
This exploration reveals how anxieties about the Cold War and changing social norms found expression in these often disturbing narratives, offering a unique lens through which to view mid-20th century American culture and the ongoing tension between artistic expression and societal control.

    Honest, raw and very funny, Selin Sevinç's musings on the art of screenwriting shine light on the illusive craft which plays such a pivotal role in the movie making process. Inbetween recollecting on her efforts to make unique stories in a industry seemingly interested only in identikit movies, Sevinç blends in darkly amusing tales of homelife and motherhood in Oregon, US, and reminisces on her own childhood growing up in Turkey. 
    In the latter chapters, Sevinç shares guidance with the reader on how to make thought-provoking and meaningful screenplays. Here the author demonstrates a deep technical knowledge of the screenwriting craft, showing us how Blake Snyder's famous Beat Sheet formula can be used creatively without sacrificing depth and originality. 
    The saying goes, that art reflects life. As most artists will know, the inner drive to create perfect artistic expression is both a blessing and a curse, and it has never been better articulated than here. In ADVENTURES IN SCREENWRITING, Sevinç will take you on a careering emotional joyride through her creative processes, her pitfalls and breakthroughs, where the boundaries between art and life become blurred.

    What is Art?

    Leo Tolstoy

    During the decades of his world fame as sage and preacher as well as author of War and Peace and Anna Karenina, Leo Tolstoy wrote prolifically in a series of essays and polemics on issues of morality, social justice and religion.
    
    These culminated in What Is Art?, published in 1898. Although Tolstoy perceived the question of art to be a religious one, he considered and rejected the idea that art reveals and reinvents through beauty. The works of Dante, Michelangelo, Shakespeare, Beethoven, Baudelaire, and even his own novels are condemned in the course of Tolstoy's impassioned and iconoclastic redefinition of art as a force for good; for the improvement of humankind.
