Hype: Tegneseriesalon i Literaturhaus
Har allerede reklameret for arrangementet, men synes lige jeg ville smide den officielle flyer op.
Hype: Thorhauge om Hergé
Check Thorhauges anmeldelse af Philippe Goddins Hergés liv og værk bind 2 ovre hos Politiken. Og samtidig kan I læse Bunkerens anmeldelse af Goddins store Hergé-biografi lige her.
Picks of the Week
Obama’s career up to now, lucky as it was, had been wanting in singular achievements for which he alone was responsible. His experience seems not to have taught him the law of natural selection in politics by which majorities are put together out of remainders. Any act that achieves something concrete will leave small multitudes…
George Tuska RIP
The great American journeyman comic book artist George Tuska has passed away at the age of 93. Tom Spurgeon’s obit is your one-stop for info (update: Mark Evanier now has a fine piece up too), but I just wanted to pay my respects here. I always associated Tuska’s style with toughness. There was a visceral…
Picks of the Week
The picks of the week from around the web. Commonweal: “Culture and Barbarism”. Terry Eagleton offers a compelling analysis of today’s fault lines between secularism and religion, which he analyses in terms of a dialectic of civilization and culture. A thoughtful corrective to the new atheists and an unsettling entreaty for us to confront the…
Dansk Tegneserieråds Nyhedsbrev Oktober 2009
Ja, så er der nyt fra Dansk Tegneserieråd. Vi udsendte i fredags vores seneste nyhedsbrev, hvor vi løfter sløret for hvad vi har foretaget os over sommeren. Der begynder at ske ting og sager, ikke mindst i forhold til etableringen af en dansk tegneserieuddannelse, og vi har som det fremgår også et arrangement på programmet:…
Charles Burns til Komiks.dk
Der er åbenbart ikke en ende på de gode nyheder for næste års internationale tegneseriefestival i København, Komiks.dk. Ware-Clowes-synergien lader til at have trukket tredje del af kløveret med sig, så festivalen nu også kan præsentere Charles Burns som officiel gæst! Burns er endnu en af mestrene indenfor den fornyelse af tegneserien, vi har set…
Picks of the Week
The picks of the week from around the web. Things are on the DL here at the Bunker for the moment — last stretch of dissertation — but I do have a few nice comics links I wanted to share with everyone who hasn’t already seen them and recommend to anyone who has skipped them.…
Hype: Seriekritikk.no
Den mangeårige norske tegneseriekritiker og -aktivist Tor Arne Hegna har netop oprettet en nyt kritisk website for tegneserier, Seriekritikk.no. Det er en overbygning på det nu hedengagne Tegneserier.no, som han bestyrede mellem 2003-2007 og rummer det sites arkiv, der tæller et opbud at solide kritiske anmeldelser. Tor Arne opdfordrer til både debat og deltagelse, så…
Hype: Markus Huber at the Danish Design School
Markus Huber, one of the most interesting German cartoonists of the 90s new wave of European comics, visits the Danish Design School this coming Monday, the 5th, at 10 am, where he’ll give a lecture on his work, open to all. If you’re in Copenhagen, do come — this guy’s very talented and has done…
Picks of the Week
The picks of the week from around the web. David Bordwell on Inglourious Basterds. A great piece on one of the year’s (surprisingly) great movies. Read it. Also, check out Jim Emerson’s somewhat rambling, but thoughtful comments and the interesting debate that follows them. Michael Dooley on Harvey Kurtzman. Good essay introducing the master satirist/cartoonist,…
Clowes og Ware til Komiks.dk
Store nyheder for dansk tegneseriekultur — næste års internationale tegneseriefestival i København, Komiks.dk, bliver gæstet af ingen ringere end Daniel Clowes og Chris Ware. Clowes er manden bag mesterværker som Ghost World, Ice Haven og “The Death Ray” — førstnævnte endda udgivet i Danmark af Aben Maler. Ware har skabt den paradigmesættende Jimmy Corrigan, the…
Respect the Architect
For this and other readers of David Mazzucchelli’s at the time almost revelatory work in Rubber Blanket and elsewhere in the rather meagre early- to mid-nineties, the wait for his Next Big Thing had become a thing unto itself, a running joke with undertones of rapt anticipation. It has been so long since we first…
Enter Sandman (Jump!)
This is just to note that the Hooded Utilitarians’ enlightening roundtable on Neil Gaiman’s Sandman (1989-1996) has now come full circle — hop over there to check the entries by Noah Berlatsky, Ng Suat Tong, Tom Crippen, Vom Marlowe and Kinukitty. There are lots of good thoughts there and the comments are also well worth…
