Topic: Desire (DC Comics)

	Reference.com/Encyclopedia/Desire (DC Comics)
		Desire is the third youngest of the Endless and the twin of Despair.
		Desire sometimes acts in concert with Despair and Delirium; the relationship is not clear, however, and Desire is much more distant from its siblings than Despair or Delirium.
		Desire had made Dream and a mortal fall in love, then caused the mortal to fall in love with the essence of a sun.

	Comics Code Authority Summary
		Called to testify, Wertham continued his attack on comic books, concluding "I think Hitler was a beginner compared to the comic book industry." William Gaines, publisher of the much-maligned EC line of comics, argued that these comics were not intended for young children and should not be subjected to protective censorship.
		Given the virtual elimination of crime and horror comics, several publishers began to place more emphasis on their superhero books, in which the violence was bigger than life and far from the graphically realistic portrayals in crime and horror comics.
		DC Comics, Marvel, and other CCA sponsors began to publish lines of comics intended for adult audiences, without the CCA seal.

	Comic books keep seducing today's discerning fans
		Comics can provide "high interest-low level" reading: literature that is attractive to readers yet not too intimidating.
		The most potent attack on comics came from Fredric Wertham's 1954 "Seduction of the Innocent," in which comics were depicted as contributing to juvenile delinquency and inhibiting reading and language development.
		Studies today, however, are praising the comic book as an accessible, visually stimulating literary form that serves as a conduit to advanced reading, not an obstacle.

	Confessions of an Aca/Fan: The Official Weblog of Henry Jenkins: Comics and Convergence Part One
		Once mainstream, comics are increasingly a fringe (even an avant garde) form of entertainment, one that appeals predominantly to college students or college-educated professionals.
		Moreover, comics are not inherently bound to print culture and McCloud identifies a range of different delivery mechanisms for sequential arts: "A close reading of various ancient works yielded far more than a passing resemblance to comics.
		Comics, then might be characterized less as a medium than as a mode of expression, cutting across not only different delivery mechanisms (the newspaper supplement, the printed comic book, the carved column, the tapestry) but also across multiple media (print, digital).

	Profiles 39 - Horror Comics (Nov 2000)
		In a broader sense, the horror comics of the fifties horrified too well; and this attracted an unwanted attention that would ultimately bring about the end of this form for almost two decades, and a permanent end to a moment in comics when the form saw its finest expression.
		DC, on the other hand, seemed barely to have waded into the waters, partially, perhaps, because during its own reformative years in the Silver Age, it invested much in the adoption of science fiction concepts, almost to the exclusion of fantasy.
		The loss of horror comics stands, in many ways, as a tragedy, even considering their weaknesses and the growing gap in the ability of comics to compete with other media for the shorter and shorter attention spans of later audiences.

	The Wire - midlife Crisis (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		You don’t even need to read comics or watch TV to know that Superman fights for truth, justice and the American way; Batman kicks the snot out of criminals; and Wonder Woman, well, she has a golden lasso and an invisible jet.
		Superman is referring to the period of “grim and gritty” comics that followed “Crisis.” In those two decades, Superman died, Batman was paralyzed and Green Lantern went insane and tried to destroy the universe, not once, but twice.
		DC is particularly positioned to respond because of the iconic nature of their characters.

		Taking its name from Detective Comics, the longest-running title in comic book history (it began in 1937 and is still around today), DC Comics made its mark in the late 1930s as a publisher of exciting, four-color adventures full of larger-than-life heroes and villains.
		Ironically, DC Comics’ highly publicized death of Superman storyline, which climaxed in late 1992, is widely considered the beginning of a bust that still reverberates today.
		DC even created a new slogan --“Comics aren’t just for kids”-- during this period as the company tried to attract adults to its publications.

	STL COMICS - Calling All Comics - "The Captain Marvel and Family's Rise to Prominence in Comics - Part 2" - by KEVIN ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Then, in 1972, DC Comics came to an agreement to publish the adventures of the Marvel Family, but had to use the title, Shazam, as Marvel Comics now owned the Captain Marvel name, and was publishing their own character using that very name.
		After Crisis, when all the parallel Earths in the DC Universe were "misplaced," many of the heroes on those worlds came over to Earth-1 with the rest of the current DC heroes.
		As DC looks to its future, the company would be well-advised to include the Marvels in their plans as more than 60 years of continuity is simply too much to casually brush aside.

	Geek in the City :: Letter to DC Comics - Byrne'ing Bridges
		I have heard rumors that DC intends to hire Byrne to pen a re-launch of the Spectre* once the dust settles on Infinite Crisis.
		DC has made some great strides lately in the stories they tell, the consistency of stories and art during that past year to two has been exceptional.
		After years of being little more than a place for Warner Brothers to get easy merchandising money, DC Comics is finally taking some creative control of their properties on the small and large screen.

	Desire
		Desire is one of the topics in focus at Global Oneness.
		The reason for this is because desire and resist both have the same quality of "being in the lack of" something.
		To put it simply, if you desire something, you are coming from a place of "I don't have this thing I want." According to the Universal Law of Attraction (which I have been studying for some time now), you must be in vibrational harmony with what you desire.

	WildPig Comics II - Comic Shop Tips
		A: The biggies are rent, weekly new comic shipments (every Wed.), back issues, energy, gas, phone, insurance, security, credit card machine, internet connection, advertising (webpage, etc.), sales tax, loans, and other incidentals that inevitably pop up.
		DC Comics will also set you up with a sales rep, which I’ve found to be an invaluable service.
		Your best bet is going out of business sales at other storefronts, be they comic, video, clothes, etc. ABCTarget is a company that specializes in virtually everything you’ll need, but you’ll obviously have to cough up more cash (www.abctarget.com).

	World Famous Comics >> Law is a Ass - Bob Ingersoll, Oct 24, 2000
		So, what I decided to do was compare three famous suits, all involving DC as the plaintiff; one in which DC successfully sued over copyright infringement, one which was kind of a draw, and one where DC lost; to help you see what is and isn't infringement.
		Wonderman was a cape-wearing hero who had a civilian secret identity; wore a skin-tight costume under his street clothes; had super strength, super speed, flight, and invulnerability; and tended to rip open steel doors, bounce bullets off his chests, leap between buildings and generally made the world safe for the girl next door.
		The McClure Syndicate was negligent in copyrighting the newspaper strip stories and failed to affix the correct copyright symbol--that familiar C enclosed in a circle followed by the year of publication and the name of the copyright holder--on the strips.

	Fanzing 0 - January 2001 - Introduction to the Warlord
		This book may have seemed like a silly Sword and Sorcery comic, but creator Mike Grell was not kind to the usual conventions of the genre.
		In the 1970s, the comics field was awash with comics attempting to cash in on the current Sword and Sorcery fad spearheaded by Conan the Barbarian at Marvel Comics.
		DC characters are used here in fan art and fiction in accordance with their generous "fair use" policies.

	Komikwerks Features: Jog Likes Comics
		Apparently, this hot new logo is intended to spread the good word of DC Comics as a name brand throughout our media universe; indeed, one of DC’s senior vice presidents mentioned that the old logo was difficult to reproduce in other formats.
		Oh, excuse me. I’d temporarily forgotten that this column is about comic books, although I think DC’s desire to translate their brand to outside of the direct-market sphere is a telling one.
		Even new comics environs -- they take work to understand, but the superhero world of the direct market requires virtually no understanding, as its financing practically takes care of itself, the basis of being old and being there and being many enough to carry the day.

	Comics Scholars Survey Results (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Barb Rausch broadened this issue to encompass the way that comics, as an industry, share the corporate mindset at the executive and upper editorial levels, as well as the focus of other entertainment industries on the youth ma rket and the almost built-in pop culture tendency to repeat, with slight variations, anything that sells.
		She continued, that comics, "almost alone among pop culture mass media--can still be the creation and labor of a single person, and be produced and distributed on an individual's shoestring budget (which was also mentioned in A.3.).
		I believe comics may be different from other media industry in the extent to which fans have moved into creative positions, but this conclusion may be a result of ignorance of other media industries on my part, rather than anything unique to comics.

	Interview with Ron Lim - PopMatters Comics Interview
		Ron Lim has been everywhere in the comic book universe, from Marvel Comic to DC Comics, from big publishers to new independents, from regular artist to freelancer.
		Sometimes I jump around and do other stuff, but since the comics field seems to be focused on superheroes, that's mainly where I seem to land most of the time.
		There's definitely more of the adult-oriented comics these days, which is good, but I also think that we need to search again for the younger readers, since they are the one who will be growing up on comics into the future.

	Same Mask Different Identity, Same Identity Different Mask
		Several characters in the DC Universe used this name: Grant Wilson (first appeared in New Teen Titans #1) who died battling the Teen Titans, Bill Walsh who took up the name to lure in Deathstroke in Deathstroke the Terminator #1 and the insane Wade DeFarge.
		The first Sandman to appear in DC Comics was Wesley Dodds who took up this costume to calm the nightmares he was having due to the capture of Morpheus the Endless (the "real" Sandman), as shown in Neil Geiman's Sandman #1.
		Somewhere down the line, DC editors changed this to Hawkwoman to be more politically correct.

		He was one of the first artists to experiment with fully painted covers for mainstream comic books, he was the first to create a character for the Marvel Universe and retain full ownership (Dreadstar); and has become of the most respected writer/artists in the field today.
		Comics were suddenly going from, I think Marvel had sixteen titles and they suddenly kicked themselves up to eighty, so they were hiring anybody coming across the state line and I just happened to qualify.
		We presented that to DC and said “Here, do you want a sequel to this, it was your best-selling book that year” and they said “No, we want Bernie to do Swamp Thing instead”.

	IGN: Comics in Context #17: Dream Analysis
		October 31, 2003 - The new book Endless Nights is not a sequel to Bruce Brown's classic documentary The Endless Summer, in which Morpheus, lord of dreams, leads his siblings through the Dreaming in a quest to find the perfect wave.
		Each of them embodies an aspect of existence: Morpheus is Dream, and his siblings are Death, Desire, Despair, Delirium (formerly known as Delight), Destruction and Destiny.
		In certain cases Gaiman's Endless fit one's expectations: Despair is in despair, Desire does embody amoral desire, and Destiny (the sole member of the Endless he did not create, who was a preexisting DC character) is a variant on the familiar figure of Father Time.

		Legends, by their very nature, get told and re-told over time, allowing the subject to be changed and, in some cases, become updated.
		One of the great things that DC Comics has done with its legendary characters has created different platforms for authors to tell stories set in different chronological settings.
		All the familiar elements are there; Bruce’s brooding over the death of his parents, the desire to make the world better coupled with his desire for revenge, his early naiveté and Alfred’s dry wit.
