serial		After dark New York : Danad Pub. Co: Call No: held v.12 no.1-v.13 no.7 May 1979-Nov. 1980 lacks v.12 no.2-6; -- IN STORAGE. OVERNIGHT RETRIEVAL Source: US Place: New York : Danad Pub. Co PhysDes: v. : ill. (some col.) ; 28 cm Subject: ENTERTAINMENT Summary: ‘After Dark’ (1968-1983) was an American showbiz magazine that covered fashion, opera, cabaret, theatre, cinema, and dance, profiling various artists, singers, and actors. It featured many well known celebrities on its covers (including the fabulous #AngelaLansbury in January 1980 -swipe to see) Although not officially described as a "gay magazine", After Dark regularly covered topics of interest to the gay community. First published in May 1968, the magazine succeeded Ballroom Dance Magazine (1960-1968). In the late 1970s Patrick Pacheco took over as chief editor from William Como hoping to make the magazine a more serious critical monthly, with a greater emphasis on quality writing, detailed reviews and critiques of current events, and performances. The magazine began a slow decline in the late '70s and in 1981 Louis Miele replaced Pacheco anticipating that amplified visuals and a full-color format with "plenty of skin on show" would prove successful. Topless male coverstars were a common occurrence, and many of the female cover stars pictured were gay icons, such as Liza Minelli and Bette Midler. Despite the new format sales remained low and in 1983 After Dark folded.

book		The American comic book industry and Hollywood / Alisa Perren and Gregory Steirer London: bfi Publishing, Call No: 753.5 PER Author: Perren, Alisa; Steirer, Gregory Edition: 2021 Place: London Publisher: bfi Publishing PhysDes: 250 pages ; 24 cm Subject: COMIC STRIPS AND THE CINEMA; COMIC STRIPS; COMIC STRIP CHARACTERS IN FILMS; SUPERHEROES IN FILMS; MARVEL; MARVEL ENTERTAINMENT; SUPERMAN IN FILMS Summary: The American Comic Book Industry and Hollywood traces the evolving relationship between the American comic book industry and Hollywood from the launch of X-Men, Spider-Man, and Smallville in the early 2000s through the ascent of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the Arrowverse, and the Walking Dead Universe in the 2010s. Perren and Steirer illustrate how the American comic book industry simultaneously has functioned throughout the first two decades of the twenty-first century as a relatively self-contained business characterized by its own organizational structures, business models, managerial discourses, production cultures, and professional identities even as it has remained dependent on Hollywood for revenue from IP licensing. The authors' expansive view of the industry includes not only a discussion of the “Big Two,” Marvel/Disney and DC Comics/Time Warner, but also a survey of the larger comics ecosystem. Other key industry players, including independent publishers BOOM! Studios, IDW, and Image, digital distributor ComiXology, and management-production company Circle of Confusion, all receive attention. Drawing from interviews, fieldwork, archival research, and trade analysis, The American Comic Book Industry and Hollywood provides a road map to understanding the operations of the comic book industry while also offering new models for undertaking trans- and inter-industrial analysis. -- publisher's web site ISBN: 9781844579419 Contents: Introduction: The More Things Change…: The American Comic Book Industry and Hollywood in the Twenty-First Century -- 1 Comics Pros Go to Hollywood: The Historical Evolution of the Comics-Hollywood Relationship -- 2 Comic Books and the Economics of Intellectual Property Production -- 3 Drawing Lines: The Place of Comic Book Artists and Writers in Hollywood -- 4 Synergy in Theory and in Practice: Comic Books and the Contemporary Media Conglomerate -- 5 Organizational (Dis-)Integration: Publisher-Hollywood Relationships in the Twenty-First Century -- 6 From Dental Floss to Dental Tape: The Strange Case of Digital Comics -- Distribution -- Afterword: Days of Future Present: The View from 2020 More info

Avengers Assemble! is a vibrant and theoretically informed interrogation of one of the defining and most financially successful film franchises of the new millennium. In the first single-authored monograph on the topic of the Marvel cinematic universe, this book asks, "Why has the superhero genre reemerged so emphatically in recent years?" In an age where people have stopped going to the cinema as frequently as they used to, they returned to it in droves for the superhero film. What is it about these films that has resonated with audiences all around the globe? Are they just disposable pop culture artifacts or might they have something interesting to say about the fears and anxieties of the world we live in today? Beginning with Iron Man in 2008, this study provocatively explores both the cinematic and the televisual branches of the series across ten dynamic and original chapters from a diverse range of critical perspectives which analyse their status as an embodiment of the changing industrial practices of the blockbuster film and their symbolic potency as affective cultural artifacts that are profoundly immersed in the turbulent political climate of the era in which they were made." -- BOOK BACK COVER Notes: Formerly CIP; Includes bibliographical references and index; Also issued online ISBN: 9780231186254 Donation: Senses of Cinema Contents: 1.

Subject: SONY CORPORATION; MARVEL ENTERTAINMENT; AMAZON; NETFLIX; IMAX; WALT DISNEY PRODUCTIONS; BUENA VISTA INTERNATIONAL; WARNER BROS.; FRANCHISES; STAR WARS [...] (US, 1977-2015) Summary: "The stunning metamorphosis of twenty-first-century Hollywood and what lies ahead for the art and commerce of film. In the past decade, Hollywood has endured a cataclysm on a par with the end of silent film and the demise of the studio system. Stars and directors have seen their power dwindle, while writers and producers lift their best techniques from TV, comic books, and the toy biz. The future of Hollywood is being written by powerful corporate brands like Marvel, Amazon, Netflix, and Lego, as well as censors in China. Ben Fritz chronicles this dramatic shakeup with unmatched skill, bringing equal fluency to both the financial and entertainment aspects of Hollywood. He dives deeply into the fruits of the Sony hack to show how the previous model, long a creative and commercial success, lost its way. And he looks ahead through interviews with dozens of key players at Disney, Marvel, Netflix, Amazon, IMAX, and others to discover how they have reinvented the business. He shows us, for instance, how Marvel replaced stars with "universes," and how Disney remade itself in Apple's image and reaped enormous profits. But despite the destruction of the studios' traditional playbook, Fritz argues that these seismic shifts signal the dawn of a new heyday for film. The Big Picture shows the first glimmers of this new golden age through the eyes of the creative mavericks who are defining what our movies will look like in the new era." -- Book jacket.

book		Black Panther : 21st century film essentials / Scott Bukatman Austin: University of Texas Press, 2022. Call No: 79 BLA BUK Author: Bukatman, Scott Edition: 2022 Place: Austin Publisher: University of Texas Press PubDate: 2022 PhysDes: 222 pages Subject: BLACK PANTHER (US, Ryan Coogler, 2018); BOSEMAN, CHADWICK; FRUITVALE STATION (US, Ryan Coogler, 2013); MARVEL ENTERTAINMENT; SUPERHEROES IN FILMS; RACIAL ISSUES AND THE CINEMA Summary: Black Panther was the first Black superhero in mainstream American comics. Black Panther was a cultural phenomenon that broke box office records. Yet it wasn’t just a movie led by and starring Black artists. It grappled with ideas and conflicts central to Black life in America and helped redress the racial dynamics of the Hollywood blockbuster. Scott Bukatman, one of the foremost scholars of superheroes and cinematic spectacle, brings his impeccable pedigree to this lively and accessible study, finding in the utopianism of Black Panther a way of re-envisioning what a superhero movie can and should be while centering the Black creators, performers, and issues behind it. He considers the superheroic Black body; the Pan-African fantasy, feminism, and Afrofuturism of Wakanda; the African American relationship to Africa; the political influence of director Ryan Coogler’s earlier movies; and the entwined performances of Chadwick Boseman’s T’Challa and Michael B. Jordan’s Killmonger. Bukatman argues that Black Panther is escapism of the best kind, offering a fantasy of liberation and social justice while demonstrating the power of popular culture to articulate ideals and raise vital questions. -- publisher's web site ISBN: 9781477325353 Contents: Preface -- Introduction: Tell Me a Story -- The Road to Wakanda -- Black Panther’s Black Body -- The Wakandan Dream -- The Killmonger Problem -- Conclusion: Why Do We Hide? -- -- Appreciations -- Notes -- Index More info

Call No: 761(931/94)(097.1) COL Author: Colligan, Mimi Source: AT Place: Carlton South, Vic. Publisher: Melbourne University Press PubDate: 2002 PhysDes: xvi, 250 p. : ill. (some col.), ports, plans ; 22 cm x 28 cm Subject: ART AND THE CINEMA; DOCUMENTARIES; PRE-CINEMA HISTORY; AUSTRALIA; NEW ZEALAND; ENTERTAINMENT. AUSTRALIA Summary: "Long before cinema was invented, people went to picture shows. In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries in Britain, Europe and America they were treated to dramatic pictorial spectacles. Audiences might be encircled by vast 360-degree canvases, or seated before continuous images drawn across a proscenium, or gathered in amusement parks to watch painted 3-D structures come 'alive' with the explosion of fireworks overhead. The sense of realism was enhanced by back-lighting, running commentaries and props such as real sand and trees. These spectacular representations of scenery, current events or recent battles abroad were indeed documentaries on canvas-the first travelogues. The phenomenon of complex circular panoramas and dioramas took root in Australia and New Zealand in the 1850s. They drew enthusiastic crowds, brought good work for local artists, and propogated the glories of empire in all the capital cities they toured. Canvas Documentaries captures the artistic, civic and social preoccupations of the times. Generously illustrated with paintings, etchings, engravings, mechanical drawings, architectural plans, photographs and advertising material, this beautiful book is a window on the vibrant popular culture of the Victorian era.

This trend, now in its second decade, has blossomed into Hollywood's leading genre. From superheroes to Spartan warriors, The Comic Book Film Adaptation offers the first dedicated study to examine how comic books moved from the fringes of popular culture to the center of mainstream film production. Through in-depth analysis, industry interviews, and audience research, this book charts the cause-and-effect of this influential trend. It considers the cultural traumas, business demands, and digital possibilities that Hollywood faced at the dawn of the twenty-first century. The industry managed to meet these challenges by exploiting comics and their existing audiences. However, studios were caught off-guard when these comic book fans, empowered by digital media, began to influence the success of these adaptations. Nonetheless, filmmakers soon developed strategies to take advantage of this intense fanbase, while codifying the trend into a more lucrative genre, the comic book movie, which appealed to an even wider audience. Central to this vibrant trend is a comic aesthetic in which filmmakers utilize digital filmmaking technologies to engage with the language and conventions of comics like never before.The Comic Book Film Adaptation explores this unique moment in which cinema is stimulated, challenged, and enriched by the once-dismissed medium of comics" -- LIBRARIES AUSTRALIA Notes: Includes bibliographical references and index ISBN: 9781628462036 Contents: -- acknowledgments -- introduction -- The Golden Age of Comic Book Filmmaking -- The Comic Book Movie Genre -- Fans, Fidelity, and the Grammar of Value -- A Comic Aesthetic -- How to Adapt Comics the Marvel Way -- the future of the comic book movie -- North American box-office totals for comic book film adaptations -- notes -- works cited -- index -- More info
