        Der Mann ohne Eigenschaften

        Nach Robert Musil. Graphic Novel

        by Nicolas Mahler, Andreas Platthaus, Robert Musil

        Es gibt Bücher, die man einfach gelesen haben muss. Man weiß es und schreckt doch vor ihnen zurück. Zu gewaltig, zu anspruchsvoll, zu ehrfurchtgebietend muten sie einen an. Robert Musils »Der Mann ohne Eigenschaften« ist solch ein Romankoloss: Man grüßt ihn artig, um sich dann blitzschnell aus dem Staub zu machen. Wer sich aber an dieses Gebirge von Buch herantraut, wird bald überrascht feststellen, wie leicht und amüsant es zu lesen ist, und sich wundern, warum er sich dieses Vergnügen so lange hat entgehen lassen. Wenn ein solch ›wagemutiger‹ Leser dann auch noch zufällig ein so begnadeter Comic-Künstler wie Nicolas Mahler ist, dessen reduzierter Strich und lakonischer Humor ihn zu einem »internationalen Star der Zeichnerszene« (arte) werden ließen, entsteht aus der Begegnung mit Musils Jahrhundertroman etwas ganz und gar Einzigartiges: eine kongeniale Adaption, die ebenso tiefgründig wie übermütig ist.

        Ukrainian mal’opys: the (un) told story

        by Ruslana Koropetska, Vira Kordoba

        No one knows for sure at what point in history one should start talking about comics. It depends on the narrator and the point on the map where he is. Even though we are going to talk about Ukrainian mal’opys* here, we should stop at the start and by leaps and bounds to see from a bird's eye view that we are not alone in the multiple births, nativities, and discoveries of the ninth art form.

        La sopa más rica y otros cuentos (The most delicious soup and other stories)

        by Mariana Ruiz Johnson

        The most delicious soup and other stories brings together five stories that take place in the village of Villa Verde, the place where all the characters live and interact. The stories are apparently very simple, yet they offer readers a delicate literary experience woven from references, ways of naming the world, images, and experiences typical of young children. This book, moreover, shares many elements with comics. In fact, we could see it as a comic for very young children, where the author, Mariana Ruiz Johnson, has used nib and Indian ink and digital color to provide readers with images in warm colors and a very rich illustration work with thousands of details for the delight of readers.

        Comic empires

        Imperialism in cartoons, caricature, and satirical art

        by Richard Scully, Alan Lester, Andrekos Varnava

        Comic empires is a unique collection of new research exploring the relationship between imperialism and political cartoons, caricature, and satirical art. Edited by leading scholars across both fields (and with contributions from contexts as diverse as Egypt, Australia, the United States, and China, as well as Europe) the volume provides new perspectives on well-known events, and illuminates little-known players in the 'great game' of empire in modern times. Some of the finest comic art of the period is deployed as evidence, and examined seriously, in its own right, for the first time. Accessible to students of history at all levels, Comic empires is a major addition to the world-leading 'Studies in Imperialism' series, as well as standing alone as an innovative and significant contribution to the ever-growing international field of comics studies.

        Comic politics

        Gender in Hollywood Comedy

        by Mark Jancovich, Eric Schaefer

        Are Jim Carrey, Robin Williams, and Eddie Murphy the celluloid compatriots of Ronald Reagan, Margaret Thatcher and Tony Blair? This book argues that the rubber faces of '80s and '90s comedy films, helped to transform us into the flexible, self-managing citizens beloved of the new right—and its successors. Through its sustained look at the box-office comedies of the last two decades, Comic Politics provides a critical introduction to key approaches to comedy. It tests the usefulness and limits of psychoanalytics, Bakhtinian and postmodernist theory against comedians and comedies from Woody Allen to Wayne's World. The book includes a look at animation and computer enhanced comedies.

        Flughunde

        Graphic Novel

        by Ulli Lust, Marcel Beyer, Andreas Platthaus, Marcel Beyer

        Seit dem Erscheinen seines ebenso brillanten wie erschütternden Romans »Flughunde« im Jahr 1995 gilt Marcel Beyer als »einer der besten jungen Romanciers der Gegenwart« (The New Yorker). »Flughunde«, mittlerweile in 14 Sprachen übersetzt, erzählt vom Ende des Zweiten Weltkriegs aus der Perspektive eines fanatischen Akustikers im Dienste der Nazis und aus der Sicht einer der Töchter Goebbels’, erzählt von der Instrumentalisierung der Sprache durch die Propaganda und von Experimenten mit menschlichen Stimmen. Ulli Lust, eine der bedeutendsten deutschsprachigen Comic-Künstler und erst kürzlich mit dem Comic-Oscar, dem Prix Révélation, ausgezeichnet, legt hier Marcel Beyers verstörendes Meisterwerk als Graphic Novel vor.

        Partyspaß mit Kant

        Philosofunnies

        by Nicolas Mahler

        Nicolas Mahlers kleine Comic-Geschichte der Philosophie von Platon bis Foucault Philosophie ist unverständlich, langweilig und witzlos? Denkste! Das kann nur der behaupten, der noch nicht Nicolas Mahlers ebenso kluge wie subtil komische Comic-Geschichte der Philosophie kennt. Hier erzählt er bislang unbekannte Szenen aus dem Leben der 22 berühmtesten Philosophinnen und Philosophen: Wir erleben Partyspaß mit Kant, besuchen mit Hegel eine Kunstausstellung, sind mit Marx im Supermarkt und mit Nietzsche im Pfadfinderlager, gehen mit Deleuze ins Kino und feiern Traumhochzeit mit Simone de Beauvoir … Und auch wenn sich nichts so zugetragen hat, haben wir mehr über das Leben, Denken und Fühlen des jeweiligen Philosophen erfahren als je zuvor – und wie selten über die Absurdität unserer menschlichen Existenz gelacht.
