Graphic Novels Are Fun and Stuff. Tuesday, December 9, 2008. I found an interesting website about the Pyongyang Metro. It's an unofficial site, of course, that provides interesting photographs, information, and external links concerning this subway system and its function. Honestly, some of the links don't work, and others are kind of funny and weird, but interesting none-the-less. Aside from his conspiracy theory, the website creator gives some photos of the metro stations. One photograph he took sh...

http://graphicnovelsarefunandstuff.blogspot.com/2008/09/understanding-comics-manipulation.html
Graphic Novels Are Fun and Stuff. Friday, September 19, 2008. Went back a second time to read it a little differently. It's interesting how we can be manipulated so easily by comics and not fully realize it. These elements of graphic novels and the art within them truly opens the reader's eyes to how complicated, thoughtful, and truly advanced this medium is. That once again brings the spread together as a whole. Although slightly different, we can also see this on pages 64 and 65. Once again the...The t...

http://graphicmaelstrom.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Understanding comics is serious business." - Scott McCloud. Tuesday, June 23, 2009. The Final Spin of the Maelstrom? I will probably cease work on this blog entirely, much like I will for Much Ado About Nothing and Everything Else Shakespearian. I would like to acknowledge the work of Ashley and Nicole for their early work on the blog. It would have been good for them to keep working with me, but I am happy that they were able to help me however they could. So for now, the maelstrom ends.

Understanding comics is serious business." - Scott McCloud. Tuesday, December 9, 2008. More Stories of the Holocaust. Is one of many accounts of the Holocaust. Back in public school, I dug into a few books related to the Holocaust. Part of it was an interest in European history related to World War II. The other part of my interest was a burning question: why would one group of people deem another group of people as "vermin" and send them to the gas chambers? A hard thing to believe is that some people d...
