Comic Books
A comic book, also called comicbook, comic magazine or (in the United Kingdom and Ireland) simply comic, is a publication that consists of comics art in the form of sequential juxtaposed panels that represent individual scenes. Panels are often accompanied by descriptive prose and written narrative, usually, dialogue contained in word balloons emblematic of the comics art form. " Comic Cuts" was a British comic published from 1890 to 1953. It was preceded by " Ally Sloper's Half Holiday" (1884) which is notable for its use of sequential cartoons to unfold narrative. These British comics existed alongside of the popular lurid " Penny dreadfuls" (such as "Spring-heeled Jack"), boys' " Story papers" and the humorous Punch (magazine) which was the first to use the term "cartoon" in its modern sense of a humorous drawing. The interweaving of drawings and the written word had been pioneered by, among others, William Blake (1757 - 1857) in works such as Blake's "The Descent Of Chris ...

Blade (comics)
Blade (Eric Cross Brooks) is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Created by writer Marv Wolfman and penciller Gene Colan, his first appearance was in the comic book ''The Tomb of Dracula'' #10 (July 1973) as a supporting character, but later went on to star in his own storylines.

Liege-Killer
''Liege Killer'' is a science fiction novel by American writer Christopher Hinz. The book and its sequels ''Ash Ock'' and ''The Paratwa'' are set in human colonies in orbit around a desolated post-apocalyptic Earth. The antagonists of the books are the Paratwa, a new species resulting from experimentation on human embryos in the near future. They are a single consciousness occupying pairs of telepathically linked bodies. The Paratwa are highly skilled warriors but look like normal people; the only way to identify a Paratwa match is by inflicting a great deal of pain upon one of them, and observing the pain in the other. The books follow the activities of humans and Paratwa as these old enemies are reunited more than a century after the earth's apocalypse, during which humans had believed the Paratwa were extinct. The novel won the Compton Crook Award in 1988. In 2013, ''Liege-Killer'' was adapted into a graphic novel, ''Binary'',Binary on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Binary-C ...

Plot synopsis The year is 2101 and thirty three years have passed since the first successful brain tissue remodulation and body reanimation of a human being. ''Vitals'', ordinary living human beings, share their lives with ''Expireds'', an underclass of once dead people who have been restored to life to perform a variety of specialist but unwanted tasks.

Helix (comics)
Helix was a short-lived science fiction and science fantasy imprint of DC Comics, launched in 1996 and discontinued in 1998. In early promotional materials prior to the release of the first title, the imprint was called Matrix instead of Helix. It was renamed because of the then-upcoming film, ''The Matrix''. It featured a handful of ongoing monthly series, several limited series, and one short graphic novel. Despite the involvement of successful science fiction/fantasy novelists Michael Moorcock, Lucius Shepard and Christopher Hinz, and established comics creators Howard Chaykin, Elaine Lee, Matt Howarth, Warren Ellis, Walt Simonson, and Garth Ennis, sales of the comic books were low, and most of the ongoing titles were cancelled after 12 or fewer issues. Ellis' ''Transmetropolitan'' was switched to the Vertigo imprint, where it continued for several more years before reaching its planned conclusion. Ennis' ''Bloody Mary'' miniseries and ''Michael Moorcock's Multiverse'' were la ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
