Comics Research Bibliography 2012 print edition

By Michael Rhode and John A. Lent

Arlington, VA: ComicsDC via Lulu.com 2012

John Bullough, struck by the success of the Grand Comics Database crowd-sourcing project, proposed a companion project of a compilation of works about comics. Michael Rhode was the only member to join him in compiling an online Comics Research Bibliography. Bullough selected a citation format and created a web interface hosted on his school’s server. We both contributed citations, from our local newspapers and collections, especially from Rhode’s books and magazines. In the early days of the Internet, we were unaware of John Lent’s similar project which he had started for an academic publisher. Both online library catalogues and booksellers have made it less necessary to have an author's books listed, but it seemed silly to have reviews of the books and not the citation for the book itself, so collections of comics were added fairly early in the project. Since Bullough is no longer a student, updates to the online version have slowed, so Rhode has decided to try to produce a semi-annual print and electronic version to fill the gap. He and Lent began working together on the International Journal of Comic Art over a decade ago, and at the conclusion of Lent’s publishing contract, began sharing bibliographic data. This bibliography is a continual work in progress — the authors literally have thousands of additional citations waiting to be formatted and included. Many new articles have appeared due to the growing acceptance of comic art as a subject of interest at the same time the Internet has become a mass publishing media. As the years passed, and the Internet expanded, online citations grew far more rapidly than print ones. We are trying to be a quality filter by only grabbing substantive articles, or interviews off the web. If one types ‘Fantagraphics’ into Google’s search engine, 2,570,000 results are returned, but if you look at the Fantagraphics entry here, hopefully we will have some substantive pieces on the company that will be useful for research.

A word of caution -— this bibliography is best used in conjunction with Lent’s 10- volume set of Comic Art Bibliography, Rhode & Bullough’s online Comics Research Bibliography at http: //www.rpi.edu/~bulloj/comxbib.html (for not all citations there have been added here yet), and Randy Scott’s Index to and List of the Comic Art Collection at http: //comics.lib.msu.edu/ . It is neither feasible nor possible to duplicate efforts, and it would not be desireable either, as we all work together and have helped each other.

Subject headings are derived from the 10-volume series by Lent. Modifications by Rhode are in italics; Underlined or struck-through headings are mistaken and should not be reused in that location, but may point you to information in one of Lent’s earlier volumes. Subheadings may be used under any other major heading. Topics not large enough to merit a subheading should still be filed as close to alphabetical as possible i.e. a cartoonist with a last name starting with 'B' should be in the A-C section of CARTOONISTS AND THEIR WORKS, not in the general section. For Global (or world-wide) articles, see the section before the Europe heading. As traditional, Mac and Mc preceed Ma in the subject headings; however in the citations themselves they are arranged as a computer would sort them —- Ma, Mac, Mc. * marks entires or articles that are new since the last printed version in the International Journal of Comic Art at the end of 2009 - 4,816 of them.

The blank branches are hold-overs from John Lent's previous 10 volumes. Rhode pulled Lent’s arrangement schema out of his books, merged it back into one document, and then began populating it anew and adding to it as necessary. If there is a blank entry, then there's some entry in one of his print volumes that might be useful to you. Parenthetical information, marked with [] has been added by the compilers as tags for computer searches. For material on DC and Marvel ‘Universes’ see COMIC BOOK - CONTENT, FORM - Genre - Superhero. As anime and manga have come to spread worldwide, heading for these can be found under countries other than Japan. In the US, ‘anime’ is under ANIMATION - Genres & Types - Anime. WEBCOMICS or internet comics have a new upper level section (3a. Web Comics, webcomics), after formerly being a subheading under COMIC BOOKS - TECHNICAL AND TECHNOLOGICAL ASPECTS.

If an Internet link no longer works, try the Internet Archive at http://www.archive.org to see if a version of it was captured and stored. When a link is prefaced with ‘Online at...’ one can assume a version also appeared in print, possibly with a different title and/or content.

The big American stories covered in this time period were the Spider-Man musical, the migration of comic books to electronic forms, the increased respectability of graphic novels, the continuing comic book movies, DC’s restart of their entire superhero line, the slow death of editorial cartoons and the growth of webcomics. The Danish Islam cartoon controversy continues to have worldwide repercussions. Syrian cartoonist Ali Ferzat was assaulted due to his cartooning. As world culture grows more interconnected, the first entry for Tibet -— about Tibetan animation on Chinese television - was added in this version. Deaths in 2010 and 2011 included TV animator Alex Anderson, editorial cartoonist Bob Artley, Uruguayan cartoonist Eduardo Barretto, Croatian cartoonist Ivica Bednjanec, Italian comic-book publisher Sergio Bonelli, avant-garde animator Robert Breer, Charles Brooks, gag cartoonist John Callahan, political cartoonist Paul Conrad, New Yorker cartoonist Leo Cullum, Archie Comics artist John "Jon" D'agostino, Spanish artist Victor de la Fuente, Frank Frazetta, sports cartoonist Bill Gallo, Belgian cartoonist Andre Geerts, French artist Paul Gillon, Dick Giordano, Belgian comics writer Francine Graton, Futurama producer Alex Johns, Jeffrey Jones, Family Circus creator Bil Keane, Japanese animator Satoshi Kon, British cartoonist David Langdon, German cartoonist Loriot, Spirou editor Thierry Martens, Indian cartoonist Mario Miranda, caricaturist Sam Norkin, American Splendor creator Harvey Pekar, Slovenian artist Jelko Peternelj, Serbian inker Branko Plavsic, Jerry Robinson, Albany Times Union editorial cartoonist Hy Rosen, DC Comics writer Alvin Schwartz, Captain America co-creator Joe Simon, French cartoonist Jean Tabary, Argentinian comics writer Carlos Trillo, Belgian cartoonist Albert Weinberg, Al Williamson, Irish editorial cartoonist Terry Willers, and Ziggy creator Tom Wilson.
