Synopsis

Golden Age Comics explores the vibrant origins of comic books in the 1930s and 1940s, a period that laid the groundwork for today's entertainment empire. This book examines how these ten-cent pamphlets became a cultural phenomenon, reflecting and shaping American ideals during the Depression era and World War II. These early comics weren't just juvenile entertainment; they offered escapism and archetypes that continue to influence modern storytelling. 

 
The book delves into the creation of iconic superheroes like Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman, examining their societal impact. It also explores the diverse genres that thrived alongside superheroes, such as crime and romance comics. 

 
By analyzing the visual styles, narratives, and the socio-economic context, the book reveals how the Golden Age established the visual grammar of the medium and its lasting legacy on popular culture and American history. Golden Age Comics progresses through the pre-history of comics, the emergence of superheroes, the variety of genres, and the foundational contributions of key publishers and artists.

Multiple Maniacs - A Screenplay

John Waters

A very John Waters traveling show, replete with freaks, robbery, murder, sex, blasphemy, and savage shellfish—a lurid, surreal celebration of filth and trash. Listen as Waters himself acts out each role!The Cavalcade of Perversion is a traveling show run by Lady Divine and a crew of her fellow degenerates. They have to drag suburban housewives into each vile, tasteless performance—only to rob them at gunpoint at the end of each show. When Divine gets bored of the routine and graduates to murdering the attendees one day, it sets her off on a rampage, hunting down her cheating lover, Mr. David, and unleashing a chain of frenzy, a truly blasphemous sex act, and a surreal violation by a giant lobster. Multiple Maniacs is John Waters’ paean to the glories of trash. As Lady Divine chants as she marches proudly into downtown Baltimore at the end of the movie, “I’m a maniac! A maniac that cannot be cured! O Divine, I am Di-vine!”Multiple Maniacs is available in audio here, on its own, or in the The John Waters Screenplay Collection where you can also listen to Waters narrate this iconic film along with five of his other masterpieces, including Pink Flamingos, Hairspray, Flamingos Forever, Female Trouble, and Desperate Living. A Macmillan Audio production from Farrar, Straus and Giroux

The Musée International...

Nadja Maillard

In 1974, while the watchmaking world was trying to read its future in a quartz crystal, the city of La Chaux-de-Fonds was unveiling a cite dedicated to watchmaking history: the Musée International d’Horlogerie (MIH). The building, designed by architects Pierre Zoelly and Georges-Jacques Haefeli, was immediately hailed as an event. A superb example of brutalist architecture and almost entirely buried in the ground, the museum is undeniably as discreet as its collections are rich. Its vast range, in terms of chronology and typology, and the care the founders took to make such an incredible heritage available to a wide public, position the institution among the world’s greatest museums dedicated to measuring time. By including a Centre for the restoration of antique watches as well as an academic mission with the Centre d’Études L’Homme et le Temps, the MIH far exceeds its sole purpose as a museum.
