Noir Comics
Dark comics emerged from the crime comics genre in the early 1900s. Chester Gould's Dick Tracy in 1931 helped popularize the genre. Charles Biro's Crime Does Not Pay in 1942 marked the beginning of the dark comics genre. In the 1940s and 1950s, comic books came under scrutiny for their violent and sexual content. This led to the creation of the Comics Code Authority which strictly censored comics and ended the golden age of dark comics until artists like Frank Miller began pushing creative boundaries again in the late 1970s and 1980s.

The creators wanted to portray females in a different light and took inspiration from thrillers like Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Silence of the Lambs that featured strong female leads similar to their target social group. They believe their thriller will appeal to intelligent females because they can see themselves represented in the main character Sasha.

The document discusses the representation of social groups in a media product. It represents females through three stereotypical characters - the main character Kyra is emotional and kills out of revenge, Lilly is also emotional and lets her emotions lead her to suicide, and Rhiannon is manipulative and controlling, causing Lilly to kill herself. The product only includes female characters. It could be seen as either feminist or portraying women as overemotional. Kyra is similar to a character from American Horror Story who kills her husband after finding an affair. The characters are all white British. The film shows how harsh words can deeply hurt youth and some may react in extreme ways, like Kyra's revenge killing, or how bullying is

Graphic novels and manga are everywhere: TV series, movies, and now coming to a library near you! Starting a collection or updating your holdings can be a challenge in this medium. Which superhero do I follow? Should I start purchasing this manga or wait until it’s complete?

This presentation will cover what exactly makes up a comic or manga, the different types and genres, how to get started with your collection, and the logistics of getting into this particular art form.

Some of her notable novels include "Shattered Pages", which features an eccentric mystery author whose books are used as a murder map by a serial killer, and "Prowl" about an FBI profiler who helps a woman deal with her stalker.

It provides context on the origins of the term "graphic novel" and how the format tells stories using both words and pictures. Examples are given of early pioneering graphic novels like Maus and A Contract with God that helped establish the format as a serious literary art form beyond just comics.
