Description: Book Description Embarrassed billionaires tried to keep a lid on this story, but it cried out to be told: how America`s greatest comic-book company was driven to the brink of insolvency by warring tycoons and rescued from the abyss by two obscure but wily entrepreneurs. In the late 1980s, financier Ronald Perelman, worth billions and riding high after his hostile takeover of the cosmetics firm Revlon, bought Marvel Entertainment–legendary creator of Captain America, the Incredible Hulk, Spider-Man, the X-Men, and other superheroes–and he had big plans. He not only began churning out more comic books, he also acquired sports cards and other subsidiaries, impressing Wall Street so much that after he took the company public, Marvel’s market value ballooned to over $3 billion. Perelman took advantage of the company’s inflated valuation by selling junk bonds, and personally pocketing nearly $500 million. Meanwhile, Marvel’s bank debt… [detailed...]

Sulle sue note ilari aleggia l`atmosfera acre della citta e l`infinita distanza tra `centro` e `periferia`. Giacche questo e un romanzo in cui il riso ricade sul cinismo, la corruzione squallida e dorata, la stupidita di questi anni che qualcuno ha definito e qualcuno ha voluto bui. E un romanzo che risuona delle impreviste possibilita polifoniche del tragicomico quotidiano, un libro in definitiva che non somiglia a nessun altro somigliando a Stefano Benni. Il quale raggiunge qui un`altra meta del suo percorso solitario, rivolto a riscattare il comico dagli awilimenti imperanti, a restituirgli dignita letteraria in una scrittura vibrante di modulazioni musicali e poetiche, e in una torsione tematica che… [detailed...]

Comics, Comix and Graphic Novels: A History of Comic Art

2001 y.
Publisher: —
Description: For more than a century the comic book has been one of our most familiar, yet least appreciated popular art forms. As vehemently criticized as it is passionately defended, it has evolved from humble beginnings into a graphically sophisticated and culturally revealing medium. At a time when vintage comics are fetching huge prices at auction, this book traces the history of the medium from comic papers for kids, through the underground `comix` movements of the 1960s and `70s, to the glossy book-format `graphic novels` of today. Organized thematically, it investigates comic art`s varied genres - including humour, adventure, underground and alternative - and charts the rise, fall and rise of the medium. In so doing, Roger Sabin highlights the careers of the creators behind some of the best-known characters in modern fiction - from Superman to Sid the Sexist, Tintin to Tank Girl. [detailed...]

Description: Book DescriptionMovie trailers--those previews of coming attractions before the start of a feature film--are routinely praised and reviled by moviegoers and film critics alike: `They give away too much of the movie.` `They`re better than the films.` `They only show the spectacular parts.` `They lie.` `They`re the best part of going to the movies.` But whether you love them or hate them, trailers always serve their purpose of offering free samples of a film to influence moviegoing decision-making. Indeed,with their inclusion on videotapes, DVDs, and on the Internet, trailers are more widely seen and influential now than at any time in their history. Starting from the premise that movie trailers can be considered a film genre, this pioneering book explores the genre`s conventions and offers a primer for reading the rhetoric of movie trailers.

Coming Attractions?: Hollywood, High Tech, and the Future of Entertainment (Stanford Business Books)

Description: Hollywood and Silicon Valley have long been uncomfortable bedfellows. Out of fear of pirating and lost profits, entertainment companies have historically resisted technological changes. Conversely, high-tech companies, more concerned with technological progress, have largely ignored the needs of the entertainment industry. Nevertheless, those products that we now take for granted, such as DVDs, MP3 players, and the Internet, are all due to the synergy of technology and entertainment. The switch to digital and web formats for entertainment represents huge potential market opportunities for both Hollywood and Silicon Valley. It has opened up new possibilities for entertainment and expanded the way content is created, distributed and consumed. Consider the phenomenon of YouTube and its wildly popular user-created content, or the ability to download movies and TV shows from sites such as iTunes and watch them on your iPod or computer, anytime and anywhere. … [detailed...]
