Magic as Metaphor in Anime: A Critical StudySince its inception as an art form, anime has engaged with themes, symbols and narrative strategies drawn from the realm of magic. In recent years, the medium has increasingly turned to magic specifically as a metaphor for a wide range of cultural, philosophical and psychological concerns. This book first examines a range of Eastern and Western approaches to magic in anime, addressing magical thinking as an overarching concept which unites numerous titles despite their generic and tonal diversity. It then explores the collusion of anime and magic with reference to specific topics. A close study of cardinal titles is complemented by allusions to ancillary productions in order to situate the medium’s fascination with magic within an appropriately broad historical context. $14.99 Write or Wrong: A Writer’s Guide to Creating ComicsFor over five years Dirk Manning’s “Write or Wrong” column at Newsarama has provided aspiring writers with candid advice, anecdotes and inspiration about how to successfully meet artists, create comics, and get them published.

Write or Wrong: A Writer’s Guide to Creating Comics is an invaluable tool fro anyone seeking to create comics, improve their knowledge of the industry and the craft, and/or be simultaneously entertained and informed by this remarkable, forthright and ultimately charming writer as he openly discusses how to overcome the odds and create comics – even if you can’t draw them yourself. $9.99 Charismagic V2 #1CHARISMAGIC returns as Aspen’s newest ’10 for 10″ debut!

Investigating Heroes: Essays on Truth, Justice and Quality TVPremiering in September of 2006, the weekly NBC television series Heroes was an immediate commercial and critical hit, lasting four successful seasons. Heroes follows a group of interrelated characters who discover they have superhuman powers, with each successive episode exploring how these people react to and utilize their powers for good or for evil. This collection of essays explores a variety of issues surrounding Heroes, examining the series’ content, marketing and reception. Also investigated is the show’s fusion of “cult” and mainstream elements of television, analyzing its ability to combine so-called lowbrow elements (comic books and superheroes) with a high-quality television form prizing such factors as moral ambiguity and depth of characterization–and what this blending process suggests about the current hybrid state of genre television, and about the medium as a whole. $14.99 |
