I'm taking a class on comics (Heh heh), cleverly entitled "Seminar in Postmodernism" this semester. For my first assignment -- given on the first day of class, due on the second day of class -- I'm supposed to submit a research paper on public perception of the graphic novel medium, for which I'm supposed to interview people. So, I'd be very much obliged to anyone who'd like to reply to this post with their answers.
What do you think of comic books/graphic novels as a whole/industry? How do you percieve comic book fans? What is your favorite comic book? Why? What do you think is the average age group of comic book readers? Who is your favorite author? Why? Who is your favorite illustrator? Why? Do you think the unique blend of visual and literary art is a positive influence on literature, as a whole, or negative? What do you think of the recent boom of comic book-based movies? What are your views on traditional, superhero comics, versus those representing an average person under extraordinary circumstances? Why? *** You don't have to answer all of the suggested questions. Similarly, if you have any information of your own to add, please feel free to do so. Any responce, at all, would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance :D -------------------- "So this Zealot comes to my door, all glazed eyes and clean reproductive organs, asking me if I ever think about God. So I tell him I killed God. I tracked God down like a rabid dog, hacked off his legs with a hedge trimmer, raped him with a corncob and boiled off his corpse in an acid bath. So he pulls an alternating-current taser on me and tells me that only the Official Serbian Church of Tesla can save my polyphase intrinsic electric field, known to non-engineers as 'the soul.' So I hit him. What would you do?" -- Warren Ellis, Transmetropolitan

What do you think of comic books/graphic novels as a whole/industry?
"It's a good medium,creative talent and artistic merits all around." How do you percieve comic book fans? "Visual people who like art,drawings,super hero's and storytelling." What is your favorite comic book? Why? "I always loved Marvel comics,i like Spider-Man for the action and drama." What do you think is the average age group of comic book readers? "I would say about 18" Who is your favorite author? Why? "Stan Lee had some great idea's.i know he didn't write all of the Marvel stuff and he is more mainstream but he is a major reason comic books are still popular today" Who is your favorite illustrator? Why? "I use too love the early Spider-Man and Daredevil artist,forgot his name right now...i liked the way he draws the action scenes,he gave the best impressions of movement and emotions." Do you think the unique blend of visual and literary art is a positive influence on literature, as a whole, or negative? "Positive for sure,creativity is mostly positive." What do you think of the recent boom of comic book-based movies? 'I love them,especially when they are well made like X-Men 2 or Spidey". What are your views on traditional, superhero comics, versus those representing an average person under extraordinary circumstances? "I love the superhero aspect better,i like the more sci-fiction oriented,make believe characters versus the more serious comics". -------------------- ============================
