	Comics in Education: Strengths
		When DC Comics, Thorndike, and Downes introduced their Superman language arts workbook to classrooms, they reported "unusual interest" (Sones, 1944, p.233) among the students, which "presented the annoying difficulty of causing the youngsters to complete a whole week's task in one evening" (Sones, 1944, p.

	The Comics Journal: Interviews
		My parents lived through the comics witch-hunt of the '50s, and been left with the impression that comics were bad for kids, so we weren't allowed to have comics in the house.
		The audience reading comics at the end of the '70s and the start of the '80s was largely used to a generally-positive status quo, an optimism and hopefulness in their comics, and a sense of the good-guy hero.
		But sometimes it seems that comics is a vast field of possibility, with a large city in one corner of it where almost everybody lives, and a few scattered suburbs here and there.

		Sprite comics are more of a style than a genre, but many sprite comics are on the topic of the video games the sprites are taken from, such as pointing out logical inconsistencies in these video games, or just parodying them in general.
		These comics are based on the author's actual life, with characters representing people they interact with, either with the real-life people's names or pseudonyms.
		On the other hand, if you're bored to death and need a hobby to fill up your days, you might be able to handle producing a daily comic.

		The exclusionary view that art requires a certain skill level to produce is often described as a lay critique and derives from the fact that in Western culture at least, art has traditionally been pushed in the direction of representationalism, the literal presentation of reality through literal images.
		On the other hand, criticism has often been brought to bear on modern artists for having no creative involvement whatsoever in their creations: one might take Hirst's work again as emblematic of this approach.
		For example, Vasily Kandinsky developed his use of color in painting through a system of stimulus response, where over time he gained an understanding of the emotions that can be evoked by color and combinations of color.

	Coloring Comics - Adventure
		In the past, comics were hand colored by creating a "color guide" (a print size photostat of the lineart).
		The colorist would then hand this guide over to graphic artists, who would have to cut out pieces of halftone film by hand to represent colors for the final printing.
		Comics collector and Photoshop user, he started his "adventure" in the art of coloring in the middle of 1999.

		On the other hand, comics which did contain local themes were not sufficiently marketable because their themes were not considered "trendy" by some people.
		Reflecting Indonesian’s political and economic turbulence, current comics are unclear about new cultural patterns and have not found a clear vision to present to readers about today's society and how to live in it.
		By making comics more visual and producing alternative comics, they hope to have more space to express their ideas so that they can interact with the society which has been isolated from art by galleries’ walls for so long.

	Comic Book Resources - CBR News - The Comic Wire
		Last week saw release of the first issue of Marvel's "Elektra: The Hand," a new five issue mini-series written by Akira Yoshida with art by Christian "The Red Star" Gossett and covers by Bill Sienkiewicz, artist of the ground breaking "Elektra: Assassin" mini-series.
		Outside of comics, Gossett is hard at work for Peter Jackson's WETA Workshop, those technical wizards behind the special effects for the "Lord of the Rings" films.
		It was one of the most wonderful moments in my professional career, to work so hard to make comics unlike anyone else had ever done technologically, and to have that effort appreciated by artists who had made a fantasy film unlike any that had ever come before it.

	This Is Not News - Comics - November 2000 - Can a Hobby Make It as an Art Form?
		Both books are comics themselves; a fl and white McCloud guides the reader through comics history and his vision of comics’ future, using excerpts from other comics and many of the illustrative techniques he describes to develop his points.
		The core of comics, he argues, is in its unique portrayal of the passage of time and the way in which this portrayal engages the reader.
		It describes McCloud’s vision for comics in the 21st century, and while it is a very good vision, it is one that (in a variety of forms) has been articulated by other comics creators and even by artists in other media.

	Interview with Thunderbird writer Nathan Shumate - The Comics Review Forums (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		I think the biggest difference between the stories I choose to tell as comic scripts and the stories I choose to tell as screenplays is in the ending, the conclusion of the storyline.
		If, on the other hand, I think of a concept that really presents itself as a full story — something with a beginning, middle, and end — then I’ll think of that project in screenplay terms.
		And as for directors, it’s easy to toss out names like “Peter Jackson,” but I’d also be interested in seeing what fresh, hungry directors would do with the material, directors who aren’t concerned with maintaining the brand quality of their name.

	Sprite comic - Comixpedia
		Comics like How to Make a Sprite Comic in Eight Easy Bits use a combination of original and ripped sprites while comics like Shagy Comics use ripped sprites from several different games.
		The major difference is that in pixel art comics the sprites used are wholly or mostly created for the comic, rather than being pulled from video games.
		Some hand drawn comics, such as Tsunami Channel, have been known to have spin-off comics created using original sprite versions of their characters.

	Nuklear Power - Home of 8-bit Theater
		In fact, just as there are about a bazillion little hand drawn webcomics out there that you’ve never heard of, the sprite comic population is growing every day.
		A recent and interesting variation on sprite comics is Not So Final Fantasy which combines sharp hand drawn art with sharp Gameboy sprites making it the first to consistently use both methods to tell its story and, to my knowledge, the first to use Gameboy sprites (they actually look good too).
		And as sprite comics become more and more visible on the Average Internet User Radar, the more the Average Sprite Comic Creator is going to have to worry about a couple concerns.

		It was revolutionary, because it, for the first time except for the other books that preceded it, examined comics as a form, and what comics mean and why, and there was some stuff in there about the Aztecs, too.
		What we see by this chart is that there is a wide range of answers to this question, with most people falling roughly in the middle, and the relatively rare response of being stabbed with a pen at one extreme.
		In the case of some Image comics, that may in fact be an advantage.

		Hatfield: Well, a comic is similar to a movie, a combination of words and pictures, but the comic is in your hand.
		On the other hand comics can also be seen as what is called a graphic narrative, a work of fiction or nonfiction that tells stories and explains ideas, but this is achieved graphically with images.
		To see comics as literature allows you to look at a broader and interesting view of comics, understand the art, the point of view, and significant impact comics make on their readers.

	CJR March/April 2005: Essay
		The underground comics of the previous decade had helped demolish some of the barriers to more adult work, and the emergence of “direct market” comics shops opened a niche for small presses, many of which were doing this kind of work.
		Comics are not merely a collection of images, but a collection of images placed in deliberate — though not necessarily chronological — order.
		Comics are well suited to that role because of the inherent narrative properties of the medium.

		To the extent a comics page reflects conscious planning rather than neglect, it is generally crafted to help maintain and build newspaper readership.
		On the other hand, you might go the opposite, and drop Apartment 3-G because you feel your readership is simply too old -- so you'd pick up Luann, Foxtrot, Arlo & Janis, something to change the demographic entirely, or dump Mark Trail in favor of Liberty Meadows.
		Comic Genesis (www.comicgenesis.com), formerly Keenspace, offers free web hosting for comics and the possibility, at least, of rewarding (with shared ad revenue or even a promotion to their major league, Keenspot) rather than punishing success.

		On the one hand you have the comics purists deifying them and extolling their virtues from the rooftops, and on the other you have the average comics reader, who thinks that they look a little, well, amateurish.
		The comic in question is a normally a standalone story that ties into the main submission, and acts a kind of trailer for the series/OGN, making it easier for the editor/publisher to see what they're getting.

	Bad Webcomic Authors are getting out of hand
		I can probably pick out the handful of good ones, (mainly in the Bob and George community and the CCA of course ^_^.) but the latter of them will make your head explode from the sheer sloppiness.
		But when you read constant spelling errors throughout a comic you think the webmaster is a foreigner or under the age of five.
		They both host comics that have that quality and humor, the only difference is that Dave would rather link out to the “lesser” comics.

	Profiles 12 - Weird Fandom Pages (Mar 1999)
		Granted, comics fans may occupy a portion of civilization with limited access to the reproductive resources available to alpha males (of various social classes, from gangsters to emperors); but one would think that fantasizing about coition with beings that do not exist must indicate some pathological state.
		On the other hand, comics themselves may have done much to create an environment in which only a short step separates their material from erotica.
		The later comics carried on this tradition, with contributions like Wally Wood's version of Power Girl, who seemed to have an extra super-power that allowed her to grow like Giant-Man, but limited the effect to her bosom.
