Killer Bodies offers a history of the single most critically-derided subgenre in American superhero comics: the 'bad girl' comics of the 1990s, which chronicled the blood-soaked adventures of barely-dressed and improbably-proportioned action heroines for an audience of adolescent boys. While not in any way attempting to rehabilitate the genre, which for the most part amply deserved its reputation as sexist and borderline pornographic, this book situates it within its original cultural context, as the result of a matrix of influences that included third-wave feminism, neopaganism, 'girl power,' the rise of the internet, the growing popularity of manga, supermodel beauty ideals, and the mainstreaming of pornography. It explores why and how the figure of the anti-heroic, physically aggressive, sexually objectified heroine arose within American comics culture, and the commercial and ideological factors that led to the genre's rapid rise and equally rapid decline amidst the crisis-racked comics industry of the mid-1990s.

Since cinema's beginning, live actors and cartoon characters have traded places and invaded each other's spaces, with real people getting animated and animated character getting real. The Live-Action Animated Film looks at the long history of movies that combine live action with 2D, stop-motion, and 3D animation to hallucinogenic effect. This survey suggests that the experimental and idiosyncratic mixed pics of the twentieth century set the template for the mainstream blockbusters of the twenty-first. Covering everything from Technicolor musicals and creature features to contemporary remakes and reboots, The Live-Action Animated Film brings this significant, boundary-blurring genre into sharper focus. In retrospect, the introduction of cartoons into live action looks as central to film history as the coming of sound or color. (immagine) Categoria: Books: novel/sci fi/horror (in preordine)
