Graphic Novel
A graphic novel is a long-form, fictional work of sequential art. The term ''graphic novel'' is often applied broadly, including fiction, non-fiction, and anthologized work, though this practice is highly contested by comic scholars and industry professionals. It is, at least in the United States, typically distinct from the term ''comic book'', which is generally used for comics periodicals and trade paperbacks (see American comic book). Fan historian Richard Kyle coined the term ''graphic novel'' in an essay in the November 1964 issue of the comics fanzine ''Capa-Alpha''. The term gained popularity in the comics community after the publication of Will Eisner's '' A Contract with God'' (1978) and the start of the ''Marvel Graphic Novel'' line (1982) and became familiar to the public in the late 1980s after the commercial successes of the first volume of Art Spiegelman's '' Maus'' in 1986, the collected editions of Frank Miller's '' The Dark Knight Returns'' in 1986 and Alan ...

The Tribe (Monica's Gang)
''The Tribe'' ("Papa Capim") is a Brazilian comic strip, part of the ''Monica's Gang'' series. It centers around a tribe of indigenous people from the Amazon (although it is never specified which). Their tribe was once named "Tribo do Rio" ''(River's Tribe)''. Although the only characters are Tom-Tom (the main character), Tamoyo, Papaya and the Pajé, their stories feature a large range of themes, going from environmental concerns to the shock between indigenous and non-indigenous cultures. People from outside the jungle are called "Caras-pálidas" (''White-faced'' or ''paleface'', due to their white skin, in contrast to the usual dark skin of indigenous peoples from the Amazon) or simply "Caraíbas". When one of the Caraíbas approaches Tom-Tom's tribe, the encounter can be either friendly or unfriendly, the latter always happening when the Caraíba attempts to hunt, deforest, burn, or in any other way harm the environment.

Blu (Monica And Friends)
''Blu'' (''Bidu'') is a character in the Brazilian comic strip ''Monica's Gang'', created in 1959. He was the first character created by Maurício de Sousa, along with his owner Franklin (''Franjinha''). The character appears in the logo and is the mascot of Mauricio de Sousa Produções, the company founded by Sousa to release his works. Blu is the only character who appears in two different kinds of stories. In one, he is a normal dog, owned by Franklin, who fears taking baths (but is invariably forced to take them by Franklin), does anything in exchange for a bone, and plays around with the other dogs from the neighborhood. In the other type of stories, he is a director-actor of his own stories, is highly personified walking with two feet behind the sets (and walking like a normal dog when acting), and is famous for the strips in which he talks to objects, especially the rock called Mrs. Stone. History Mauricio says he has based both Blu and Franklin on himself and Cuíca, t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
