This comprehensive reference to TV cartoon shows covers some 75 years. In the decade or so since the first edition, the industry has grown and expanded to previously unimagined heights, thanks in great part to the upsurge of cable TV services catering to animation fans.

Who knew The Shadow better than his creator, Walter B. Gibson. Relatively few people have heard of Gibson, but many more are familiar with The Shadow having heard the program on the Blue Coal Radio Program in the 1930s and read the Street & Smith Shadow novels. Walter B. Gibson's life and career come out from behind The Shadow in this biography. It covers his youth in Philadelphia, his development as a writer and magician, his wives, including the third, (Litzka, who was a harpist and magician in her own right), his time living in Maine and upstate New York, and his later years and death.

With storylines that often contain overt social messages within its 'mutant metaphor,' X-Men is often credited with having more depth than the average superhero property. In this collection, each essay examines a specific era of the X-Men franchise in relationship to contemporary social concerns. The essays range from an analysis of popular science at the time of the first X-Men comic book in 1963 to an interpretation of a storyline in light of rhetoric of President Obama's first presidential campaign.

(W) Mark Clark, Bryan Senn This comprehensive filmography provides critical analyses and behind-the-scenes stories for 600 horror, science fiction, and fantasy films from the 1960s. During those tumultuous years horror cinema flourished, proving as innovative and unpredictable as the decade itself.

An historical overview chronicles the explosive growth of horror films during this era, as well as the emergence of such dynamic directorial talents as Roman Polanski, George Romero, Francis Ford Coppola, and Peter Bogdanovich.

Dick Grayson - alter-ego of the original Robin of Batman - has gone through various changes in his 75 years as a superhero but has remained the optimistic, humorous character readers first embraced in 1940. The first scholarly work to focus exclusively on the Boy Wonder, this collection of new essays features critical analysis, as well as interviews with some of the biggest names to write Dick Grayson, including Chuck Dixon, Devin Grayson and Marv Wolfman. The contributors discuss his vital place in the Batman saga, his growth and development into an independent hero, Nightwing, and the many storyline connections which put him at the center of the DC Universe. His character is explored in the contexts of feminism, trauma, friendship and masculinity. (immagine) Categoria: Books: novel/sci fi/horror

Dismissed as camp by critics but revered by fans, the kaiju or 'strange creature' film has become an iconic element of both Japanese and American pop culture. From homage to parody to advertising, references to Godzilla - and to a lesser extent Gamera, Rodan, Ultraman, and others - abound in entertainment media. Godzilla in particular is so ubiquitous, his name is synonymous with immensity and destruction. In this collection of new essays, contributors examine kaiju representations in a range of contexts and attempt to define this at times ambiguous genre.

Widely regarded as Japan's greatest animated director, Hayao Miyazaki creates films lauded for vibrant characters and meaningful narrative themes. Examining the messages of his 10 full-length films, from Nausicaä (1984) to The Wind Rises (2013), this study analyzes each for its religious, philosophical and ethical implications. Miyazaki's work addresses a coherent set of human concerns, including adolescence, good and evil, our relationship to the past, our place in the natural order, and the problems of living in a complex and ambiguous world. Exhibiting religious influences without religious endorsement, his films enjoin nonjudgment and perseverance in everyday life. (immagine) Categoria: Books: novel/sci fi/horror

Throughout the long-running BBC series Doctor Who, the Doctor has rarely been alone; his companions are essential. Male or (mostly) female, alien or (mostly) human, young or old (none as old as he), the dozens of companions who have travelled with him over the past 50 years have served as sympathetic proxies for the audience. This collection of new essays examines the role of the companion as an intermediate between viewers and the Doctor. The contributors discuss who travels with the Doctor and why, how they interact, how the companions influence the narrative and how their journeys change them.

by Robert Michael 'Bobb' Cotter This work provides a critical overview of monster magazines from the 1950s to the 1970s. The term 'monster magazine' is a blanket term, which, for the purposes of this study is used to describe both magazines that focus primarily on popular horror movies and magazines that contain stories featuring monsters which are illustrated in comic book style but printed in black and white.

Animation has been part of television since the start of the medium but it has rarely received unbiased recognition from media scholars. This book takes a serious look at the whole genre of television animation, from the early themes and practices through the evolution of the art to the present day. By taking seriously something often thought to be frivolous, the book provides a framework for understanding the persistent presence of television animation in the American media and how surprisingly influential it has been.

The worlds of Percy Jackson, Harry Potter, and other modern epics feature the Chosen One, an adolescent boy who defeats the Dark Lord and battles the sorrows of the world. Television's Buffy the Vampire Slayer represents a different kind of epic - the heroine's journey, not the hero's. This provocative study explores how Buffy blends 1990s girl power and the path of the warrior woman with the oldest of mythic traditions. As she sacrifices her life for the helpless, Buffy experiences the classic heroine's quest, ascending to protector and queen in this timeless metaphor for growing into adulthood.

(E) Donald E. Palumbo, C.W. Sullivan III From Doctor Who to Lost, a select group of television series - The Prisoner, Twin Peaks, The X-Files, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Lost, Heroes, Doctor Who, and Star Trek - with strong elements of fantasy has achieved cult status. This work analyzes what makes these programs unique, and what they have in common. Included are assessments of the strategies used to promote the series' appeal, an explanation of 'transmedia' storytelling, and analysis of changes within broadcasting that have enabled 'telefantasy' to transcend niche status and enjoy prominence and popularity.
