Doonesbury Comic Strip Collection


The comic strip was a continuation of Bull Tales, which appeared in the Yale University student newspaper the Yale Daily News beginning September 1968. It focused on local campus events at Yale.
As Doonesbury, the strip debuted as a daily strip in about two dozen newspapers on October 26, 1970, the first strip from the Universal Press Syndicate. A Sunday strip began on March 21, 1971. It became well known for its social and political (usually liberal) commentary, always timely, and peppered with wry and ironic humor. It is presently syndicated in approximately 1,400 newspapers worldwide. The decision, on September 12, 2005 to drop Doonesbury from The Guardian (UK) was reversed less than 24 hours later, after the strip's followers voiced strong discontent.

Like Little Orphan Annie and Pogo before it, Doonesbury blurred the distinction between editorial cartoon and the funny pages. In 1975, the strip won Trudeau a Pulitzer Prize for Editorial Cartooning, the first strip cartoon to be so honored. President Gerald Ford acknowledged the stature of the comic strip in the 1970s, saying "There are only three major vehicles to keep us informed as to what is going on in Washington: the electronic media, the print media, and Doonesbury — not necessarily in that order."

The strip underwent a significant change after Trudeau returned to it from a 22 month hiatus (from January 1983 to October 1984), during which he helped create a Doonesbury Broadway production. Before the break in the strip, the characters were eternal college students, living in a commune together near an unnamed university modelled after Trudeau's alma mater. When the strip resumed, the main characters had all graduated, most had moved, and Michael had married his girlfriend JJ. Since then, the main characters' age and career development has tracked that of standard media portrayals of baby boomers, with jobs in advertising, law enforcement, and the dot-com boom.

Portrait Drawing


Portrait Drawing (Artist's Painting Library)

by Wendon Blake

"Keep It Simple. The best way to start drawing is to get yourself just two things: a pencil and a pad of white drawing paper..."


Wendon Blake shows himself to be a very good instructor, but as is true of most of his works, his books generally are too brief, too short treatments of drawing, whether figure, portraiture or painting. This book, for example, contains only 175 illustrations. When other books offer much more illustration, it becomes difficult to rate "Portrait Drawing" higher. What is there though, is quite good.

Another reader's review:

I recieved a copy of your book through my art teacher, Mr. David Autry, at Fort Myers High School. Normally I only work with clay, but last year I drew a picture of an evil looking skull with three swords going through the top of its head. The color drawing of that won third place at an art show in town. I had also made a full sculpture of the skull out of clay, but I put brains on the top of its head, and veins at the side of its face. It turned out quite well and took second place at a state level Anyway, I decided that I wanted to go back to learning how to draw real looking portraits. I tried to draw a picture of my girlfriend, but I got stuck on the nose, so my art teacher gave me a few tips and let me borrow his copy of the book. I am glad he did, cause I personally think that for my first time doing portrait art, I did pretty good. Even my girlfriend, boss, and taecher were all impressed. If there are more books on the same things, that are just as good, I would be interested in hearing about them. I am very excited about my new talent that I have found, and like to be able to improve and better my skills that I have achieved. Shane E. Jones

Drawing Cutting Edge Anatomy

The Ultimate Reference for Comic Book Artists


ISBN: 0823023982
Author: Christopher Hart
Publisher: Watson-Guptill Publications


The follow-up title to the hit title Drawing Cutting Edge Comics, which has been translated into seven languages, this drawing tutorial shows artists how to draw the exaggerated musculature of super-sized figures in action poses. The guesswork is taken out of figuring out which muscles show through to the surface and how muscles appear through clothing. This instructional manual even gives both the Latin and the common terms for particular body parts such as scapula/shoulder blade. Hart covers all aspects of extreme anatomy. The book opens by providing detailed diagrams of all of the various muscle groups, including chest, back, shoulder, arm, and leg muscles. Then he covers many of the various extreme comic book types including good guy, bad guy, insane guy, punk, genius, and brute for men; and the heroine, bad gal, trashy gal, seductress, fighter babe, and cyber chick for women. As an added bonus, this book closes with two invaluable sections to all aspiring comic book artists. One provides a roadmap of all the steps an artist must take if he or she is going to get started in the comic book business, and advice on how the comic book business works. The second section features interviews with people from two of the most significant companies in the world of comics, Marvel Comics and Dark Horse Comics.

Paul Gadzikowski's fan fiction

The artwork is primitive, as these were originally intended only for his own amusement, but the writing is kind of engrossing, particularly if you're Nerdy enough to follow these series. Includes Paul's take on the Buffy, Dr. Who, Star Trek, Batman and Superman universes, among others.

Alan Moore - V for Vendetta


V for Vendetta

Words by Alan Moore Art by David Lloyd First published 1988 Originally published in Warrior Magazine and as V for Vendetta 1-10

Describing where V for Vendetta lies in the comics cannon is tricky. Without wanting to over-state its importance, this particular reviewer considers it as fascinating and enjoyable a piece of serious science fiction as George Orwell's 1984 and Rildey Scott's Blade Runner. On our first reading, over 10 years ago, it really felt that big, that important and that much of a classic. Rereading it, despite the fact that the dark near-future predictions remain thankfully off mark, the distopian vision remains as horrific and potent as ever.

We won't expose too much of the story, as the unfurling mystery is a roller-coaster ride of twists and turns. It's set in a fascist, post-apocalyptic Britain, with a cowed population ruled by a police state that, like Orwell's, is always watching. Like a modern day Guy Fawkes, the story's lead character (known only as 'V') is committed to bringing down the government of his day. We see his plans unfold through the eyes of Evey Hammond, an innocent and impressionable young woman V rescues from the clutches the corrupt police force.

Because all culture is controlled by the state, V is a cultural oasis, allowing Moore to flex his erudite muscles, quoting liberally from literature, music and other media. This can be overwhelming at times, though it serves the purpose of enhancing the stark difference between the sparse official media controlled by the state and church, and the rich cultural heritage that is kept hidden from the populace.

David Lloyd uses gorgeous subtle shading throughout the book, creating a gloomy London bathed in an inky wash. At times this can evoke a sense of noir thirties nostalgia, again showing the debt it owes to George Orwell, while simultaneously twisting everything into a gloomy futuristic world of overt control.

This is book has an eloquence and beauty to it, stemming from both the writing and the artwork, both of which are at the peak of their craft. The book remains one of Alan Moore's finest works, no mean feat considering we consider Moore to be up there amongst the all-time best writers to grace comics with their work. If you're interested in the medium, this book is an absolute must. And if you're new to comics, this provides an excellent place to start for anyone who likes edgy science fiction thrillers, especially if they like their sci-fi to come with a little politics, a little culture and the odd explosion.

Anatomy for Fantasy Artists : An Illustrator's Guide to Creating Action Figures and Fantastical Forms


The password turned out to be accurate. It's just case-sensitive.


Here in a single volume is a practical, comprehensive training course
for budding illustrators working to master comic book art, graphic
novels, fantasy posters, sci-fi book covers and illustrations, and
computer games. The author, a highly successful fantasy artist,
teaches the basics of human anatomical drawing and musculature, as
well as perspective and composition. He then instructs on ways to
distort, develop, and transform the human figure, giving it features
that range from monstrous or magical to super-agile or larger than
life. Detailed artist's references and step-by-step instructions show
how to build bodies that truly stretch the imagination—mighty alien
warriors, kick-boxing cyber-punks, and mega-muscled superheroes, to
name just a few. Art students also learn how to show their characters
in many different dynamic action poses, such as flying, spinning,
punching, and jumping, as well as how to express each character's
emotions through facial expressions. More than 300 color
illustrations.
