| boris vallejo frank frazetta: Gothic Witches Nuesret Kaymak, 2022-10-22 Here comes the season of the witch... As these beautiful young ladies prove, the Gothic cult - which has been around for almost half a century - has not lost its appeal.The subculture, which grew out of post punk and new wave, has fans all over the world. The Goths are extravagant: the mainstream disgusts them. Instead of the colorful, superficial Disney world of the normal population - Goths prefer the eerie dark wave music. Gloomy music that deals with transience and death and from which Ariana Grande fans run away screaming. Goths like horror movies and all the eerie kitschy trappings. Everything that has to do with darkness, Bella Lugosi and demons. They find the kitsch amusing and so awesome that they wear these flashy and often very unusual black clothes. The fashion tick is the signature of the Goths and identifies them as members of the black scene. This subculture never gets into the embarrassment of degenerating into the mainstream - it takes a lot of courage to walk around like that. That's why you have to look for a long time to get a Goth in front of your lens. The gothic aesthetic helped Johnny Depp make his breakthrough in the feature film Edward Scissorhands, making him a heartthrob all over the world. In this book I pay tribute to the Goths and show you beautiful gothic women who can easily compete with Johnny Depp: because every single modern witch is a world star! |

| boris vallejo frank frazetta: Adult Comics Roger Sabin, 2013-10-11 In a society where a comic equates with knockabout amusement for children, the sudden pre-eminence of adult comics, on everything from political satire to erotic fantasy, has predictably attracted an enormous amount of attention. Adult comics are part of the cultural landscape in a way that would have been unimaginable a decade ago. In this first survey of its kind, Roger Sabin traces the history of comics for older readers from the end of the nineteenth century to the present. He takes in the pioneering titles pre-First World War, the underground 'comix' of the 1960s and 1970s, 'fandom' in the 1970s and 1980s, and the boom of the 1980s and 1990s (including 'graphic novels' and Viz.). Covering comics from the United States, Europe and Japan, Adult Comics addresses such issues as the graphic novel in context, cultural overspill and the role of women. By taking a broad sweep, Sabin demonstrates that the widely-held notion that comics 'grew up' in the late 1980s is a mistaken one, largely invented by the media. Adult Comics: An Introduction is intended primarily for student use, but is written with the comic enthusiast very much in mind. |

| boris vallejo frank frazetta: The Middle Ages in Popular Imagination Paul B. Sturtevant, 2018-02-28 It is often assumed that those outside of academia know very little about the Middle Ages. But the truth is not so simple. Non-specialists in fact learn a great deal from the myriad medievalisms - post-medieval imaginings of the medieval world - that pervade our everyday culture. These, like Lord of the Rings or Game of Thrones, offer compelling, if not necessarily accurate, visions of the medieval world. And more, they have an impact on the popular imagination, particularly since there are new medievalisms constantly being developed, synthesised and remade. But what does the public really know? How do the conflicting medievalisms they consume contribute to their knowledge? And why is this important? In this book, the first evidence-based exploration of the wider public's understanding of the Middle Ages, Paul B. Sturtevant adapts sociological methods to answer these important questions. Based on extensive focus groups, the book details the ways - both formal and informal - that people learn about the medieval past and the many other ways that this informs, and even distorts, our present. In the process, Sturtevant also sheds light, in more general terms, onto the ways non-specialists learn about the past, and why understanding this is so important. The Middle Ages in Popular Imagination will be of interest to anyone working on medieval studies, medievalism, memory studies, medieval film studies, informal learning or public history. |
| boris vallejo frank frazetta: Chameleo Robert Guffey, 2015-04-23 A mesmerizing mix of Charles Bukowski, Hunter S. Thompson, and Philip K. Dick, Chameleo is a true account of what happened in a seedy Southern California town when an enthusiastic and unrepentant heroin addict named Dion Fuller sheltered a U.S. Marine who’d stolen night vision goggles and perhaps a few top secret files from a nearby military base. Dion found himself arrested (under the ostensible auspices of The Patriot Act) for conspiring with international terrorists to smuggle Top Secret military equipment out of Camp Pendleton. The fact that Dion had absolutely nothing to do with international terrorists, smuggling, Top Secret military equipment, or Camp Pendleton didn’t seem to bother the military. He was released from jail after a six-day-long Abu-Ghraib-style interrogation. Subsequently, he believed himself under intense government scrutiny — and, he suspected, the subject of bizarre experimentation involving “cloaking”— electro-optical camouflage so extreme it renders observers practically invisible from a distance of some meters — by the Department of Homeland Security. Hallucination? Perhaps — except Robert Guffey, an English teacher and Dion’s friend, tracked down and interviewed one of the scientists behind the project codenamed “Chameleo,” experimental technology which appears to have been stolen by the U.S. Department of Defense and deployed on American soil. More shocking still, Guffey discovered that the DoD has been experimenting with its newest technologies on a number of American citizens. A condensed version of this story was the cover feature of Fortean Times Magazine (September 2013). |
