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 Desce ...

Intercompany Crossovers
In comic books, an intercompany crossover (also called cross-company or company crossover) is a comic or series of comics in which characters, that at the time of publication are the property or licensed property of one publisher, meet characters owned or licensed by another publisher (for example, DC Comics and Marvel Comics collaborating on '' Superman vs. The Amazing Spider-Man'' or WildStorm (DC Comics) and Dynamite Entertainment teaming to produce ''Freddy vs. Jason vs. Ash''). These crossovers typically occur in "one-shot" issues or miniseries. Some crossovers are part of canon, but most are outside of the continuity of a character's regular title or series of stories. They can be a joke, a dream sequence, or even a "what if" scenario (such as Marvel's ''What If'' series or DC's ''Elseworlds'' titles). While '' Avengers/JLA'' is debatably considered canon, Marvel/DC crossovers are generally considered non-canonical. They include those where the characters live in alterna ...

Dark Horse Comics Titles
Darkness, the direct opposite of lightness, is defined as a lack of illumination, an absence of visible light, or a surface that absorbs light, such as black or brown. Human vision is unable to distinguish colors in conditions of very low luminance. This is because the hue sensitive photoreceptor cells on the retina are inactive when light levels are insufficient, in the range of visual perception referred to as scotopic vision. The emotional response to darkness has generated metaphorical usages of the term in many cultures, often used to describe an unhappy or foreboding feeling. Referring to a time of day, complete darkness occurs when the Sun is more than 18° below the horizon, without the effects of twilight on the night sky. Scientific Perception The perception of darkness differs from the mere absence of light due to the effects of after images on perception. In perceiving, the eye is active, and the part of the retina that is unstimulated produces a complemen ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
