# I want to be the king of books and newspapers #DC classic graphic novel top 6+ 1 (I)

Comics is an artistic expression, and there are many different types in the world, mostly divided by regions. In addition to the familiar Riman, I want to share another mainstream comic category with you today.

Magic originated in America. Comics for adult readers are called comic novels, and the famous eisner Prize is named after Will Eisner, the father of comic novels.

Compared with the familiar Riman, the biggest difference of Man Mei is that it is usually literary. With more complex narrative techniques, more exquisite painting style and deeper theme selection, we will constantly improve our own artistic aesthetic value. Authors often use works to express their thoughts on practical problems, making them more profound, rather than just providing a delicate, interesting and dramatic story.

Riemann creates dreams for readers, while Man Mei magnifies reality.

Please join me in opening the curtain of reality. ...

1923 is one of the best English novels so far.

One of the 25 classics that DC comics must read.

The film of the same name was released in 2009. The director copied all the classic pictures and dialogues in the comics mirror by mirror, striving to be faithful to the original. It is the most successful movie in history, with a douban score of 8.5.

In 20 19, it was adapted into a series by HBO, and won the 72nd Emmy Awards for Best Limited Drama, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor and Best Screenplay.

It is a magnificent postmodern literary epic, which won the Hugo Award, the highest honor in the science fiction art world, and challenged the highest achievement that visual literature can achieve. Known as the greatest super-English comic in history, it is also a frequent visitor to the best-selling list.

After World War II, the United States and the Soviet Union fought for world hegemony for decades.

Since 1949, when the Soviet Union successfully developed the atomic bomb, the Cold War officially entered the period of nuclear deterrence. The whole world is shrouded in the shadow of destruction, and a full-scale thermonuclear war is imminent. At this point, the hands of the doomsday clock are five minutes away from midnight.

Watcher skillfully borrows the real historical environment and combines a large number of historical and political events in the real world, such as the Vietnam War, the assassination of Kennedy, the Watergate Incident, and the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. Through various roles, "history" leads to different endings. ...

The story begins with a murder, and the murderer targets the retired superhero comedian. Rorschach was the only one who refused to compromise because the former superhero group watcher was forced to dissolve because of the introduction of the new bill. He called on his former teammates, Yan Ren, Si Soul and dr. manhattan, who has magical power, to make an in-depth investigation. Finally, it was found that the man behind the scenes was actually a former watchman, and now he is an extremely rich Pharaoh. Facing the imminent nuclear crisis, he plans to sacrifice millions of innocent lives to reunite the people and embrace peace. ...

The Watchman published in China has two editions, the paperback edition and the full edition, which are published by World Book Publishing Company.

The full version adopts super-large format hard seal hardcover sewing process, and the outer seal is thicker. The inner page is similar to the full-color printing of matt paper, brighter and softer than ordinary coated paper, which effectively controls the reflection of the page.

In terms of content, the full version not only restores the translator's interpretation attached to the paperback version, but also adds character setting analysis, manuscript script, behind-the-scenes material and so on. In particular, it contains a brand-new story explanation "Every Second", which is definitely the most worth seeing in Chinese.

Moore uses the classic nine-square mirror, a large number of parallel montage images, skillful interpolation, flashback and other writing techniques, and uses three-color expression techniques to fully show the artistic characteristics of the viewer's works, such as irony, absurdity and reality.

The picture-in-picture "Legend of the Black Cargo Ship" interspersed with it has the same spiritual core as the main line, a cycle of desire and madness.

At the end of each chapter, there are information fragments similar to novels and news reports, which supplement the background and world view of the characters with the sense of substitution of documentaries.

For this crisis, each character in the story has his own different position, and they vividly depict the ambiguity of justice and the struggle of heroes in sensitive times.

When a comedian sees that reality is just a fake joke, he can only choose to be a comedian who tells jokes; Rorschach was martyred with his life. Even if the world ends, he will never give up. Dr. manhattan, who has the power of the gods, gives readers a look at human beings from the perspective of God. Pharaoh insisted on bearing the sins of mankind alone and firmly believed that he had the responsibility to choose the ultimate way of redemption for all mankind; Owl and silk soul are more like ourselves. Although they have the courage to return to themselves and are eager to be loved, they are more helpless and acquiescent.

Superheroes have always adhered to a wrong belief. They are obsessed with the ideal of maintaining the world and are above all existing orders. But if the world cannot be saved, where will they go?

Destruction has brought salvation and created an ideal society where heroism can't be realized, but the foundation of this new world is based on lies and is too fragile to hold a trace of truth.

It is a thorough anti-hero work, which is different from any commercial cartoon mode in which justice finally defeats evil. Alan Moore endowed it with the core of literature and philosophical thinking. Ask about the values that hero cartoons should have, and even question the value of these heroes themselves.

Will the world with superheroes be better than our present world? Will it really be a strong and loving world?

The cruelest and most ironic ending, there is no end to everything in the world, only heroes indulge in dreams. ...

If Batman is no longer young, how will he do justice to the cloak warrior in his twilight years?

Screenplay/Painting-Frank Miller

Harvey Award for Best Reprinted Comics

One of the top ten comic novels in the history of Time magazine.

One of the 25 classics that DC comics must read.

Two animated films of the same name were released on 20 12 and 20 13 respectively, which truly reproduced the dark temperament and evil madness in comics, with a douban score of 8.9.

The biggest source of inspiration for the movie Batman v Superman opened the binary opposition of BVS, in which the characters of core conflict and decisive battle almost copied the original comics.

It was once rated as "the best Batman story in the world" by the media, subverting the inherent image of Batman's invincible for a long time, and the cold realism style profoundly influenced Batman's later world outlook development. It is regarded as a milestone for Diablo to surpass Britain, ranking first in the British sales list for 40 consecutive weeks.

During the Cold War, the nuclear arms race between the United States and the Soviet Union reached the final stage, and the sense of crisis in the nuclear winter hung over everyone like a fog. ...

Gotham city is still ruled by corruption and evil. Times have changed. Bruce Wayne, who has been retired for ten years, is nearly old, and the urban legend of the Dark Knight has come to an end. With the rise of a new generation of violent organizations, the city will collapse again. ...

The return of the dark knight opened Batman's dark style, and his stubborn and angry soul was imprisoned by his aging body. In the face of distorted media, blind people and hypocritical government, how will the old knight choose? This is a story about ideas and inheritance. ...

The former superhero group was forcibly dissolved by the government, and violence and crime still controlled gotham city to collapse. Bruce Wayne, the old hero, decided to put on his combat suit again and fight the awakened two-faced man and clown again. And teamed up with a new generation of Robin, * * * assimilated the threat of mutant gangs, and a new group-the son of Batman was born. When the authority and dominance of the government itself were challenged by this religious thought, the president sent Superman to destroy the extra-legal forces. The decisive battle between Batman and Superman, two superheroes with opposite positions, is imminent. ...

The Return of the Dark Knight has two editions, paperback edition and commemorative edition, which are published by World Book Publishing Company.

The commemorative edition adopts the sewing technology of large format hard cover and hardcover, and the silhouette of Batman is printed by UV. The inner page is printed in full color on light coated paper, which is easier to read than ordinary coated paper.

In terms of content, the commemorative edition not only restored the translator's preface and handwritten script attached to the paperback edition, but also added the preface of the scriptwriter's dialogue and the preliminary planning of the film. In particular, it contains more than 100 variant covers of almost all artists, which is definitely the most worthy Chinese version.

This book has a strong personal style of Miller. The watercolor rendering of the signboard, the delicate lines that are not covered by color, and the exquisite blank design are amazing. With simple shadows and outlines, the different psychological changes between each character are accurately portrayed.

Using a large number of parallel cross montage nonlinear processing methods, not only will there be no tearing feeling, but also more content can be displayed.

Batman echoes the narrative technique of media images and double lines of light and dark, and a large number of inner monologues in the book also divide the bright lines into two parts: inside and outside.

Through every interaction with other characters, the image of the dark knight is more three-dimensional, and you can see a determined old man emitting charming sacred light.

The double-faced man embodies Bruce's inner duality, and like him, he can't resist his inner nature; The leader of the mutant gang represents Batman's lost youth and strength and mocks his aging; Clowns constantly forced him to face the choice of morality and responsibility, trying to replace order with chaos; Superman and Batman are two sides of each other, just like sunshine and night. Although superman has the spirit of selfless dedication, he finally chooses to compromise with the hypocritical government system; Although Batman originated from violence, he finally embarked on the road of resistance.

Batman is outside the system, fighting violence with violence. Superman reconciled with the system and became a tool of the government. The confrontation between individuals and institutions is very different, and this is a doomed struggle.

Batman's perseverance carries an invisible force. It is silent and accurate, transcending time and space and pointing directly at people's hearts. This is the glorious thought of justice.

It is a typical realistic work, which is different from the youth cartoon mode in which people love heroes in the past. Frank vividly described the changing process of people's attitude towards Batman from doubt to affirmation and then to negation, which made his thoughts transcend comics and exist and spread in reality.

Will a giant shining like a lighthouse bring a new order to Gotham? Can this idea really guide and awaken people's unity?

In a society where order is broken, we can't evaluate Batman exactly after all. His ideas are too grand. ...

The night is boundless, and life seems to be a journey through time and night, accompanied by dreams, and finally to death. ...

100 must-read book

One of the 25 classics that DC comics must read.

This reality TV series started in 2020, with Allan Heinberg as screenwriter and producer and neil gaiman as executive producer. This will be the most expensive TV series in DC so far.

The sandman, often called Morpheus, is responsible for the dreams of all living things. Tall, thin and pale, wearing a dark robe dotted with flames; A long black hair looks like night; A pair of empty eyes can't see.

He comes from an endless family, a symbol of the personification of abstract concepts. Seven brothers and sisters are: fate, death, sleep, destruction, desire, despair, fanaticism. Each has different fields, responsibilities and humanity.

This desire and hatred; Destruction and redemption; The road of revenge, where despair and hope coexist, begins with "sleep" and ends with "death" ...

The religious leader of the Brotherhood mistakenly summoned the sandman, took his three musical instruments and imprisoned him in the dharma world. Since then, human dreams have been chaotic. After a long wait of 70 years, Sandman finally broke the seal and prepared to finish his revenge. ...

In the first chapter, four ordinary people's life across time and space is described with poetic idle pens and interspersed in the main line, cleverly buffering such a huge time span.

The weak sandman recovered some energy sealed in Abel and Cain's hands, but at this time the dream country was in ruins. Through the guidance of the three goddesses of fate, the whereabouts of sandbags, helmets and rubies surfaced, and Sandman decided to visit Constantine first. ...

The second chapter quotes a large number of religious symbols, legends and metaphors. Through the rich relationship between characters, the world outlook is completely constructed, and at the same time, each mythical character is endowed with brand-new charm.

Sandeman met Constantine in London. After several investigations, he finally found sandbags in the hands of his ex-girlfriend Rachel. But at the moment, she is dying because of drug abuse, and the dream sand in the sandman bag is Rachel's last comfort. ...

The third chapter echoes from beginning to end, such as Rachel's pain in reality and the beauty in her dream in Brain in an urn, which presents the two sides of her dream with the help of the clever characters.

In order to find the helmet, the sandman decided to go to the abyss and hell alone. Under the witness of the three ancient people, he accepted the "challenge" of the demon duke, and finally successfully recovered the instrument with the hope of defeating extinction. But at the moment, Lucifer will not let the sandman go easily. ...

The fourth chapter shows the magnificent and amazing scenes of hell, which complements the integration of pop culture. The "duel" at the end is even more imaginative.

Dr. Destiny escaped from Akam, hijacked the vehicle and prepared to seize the ruby. With the help of the Justice League, the sandman also learned the whereabouts of the last instrument and crossed the dream to arrive first. But he never imagined that the gem had been secretly transformed by the doctor. ...

The fifth chapter uses a large number of parallel montages to deal with the structure, and the two-line narrative progress is staggered. The conversation between the doctor and the driver seems plausible, but in fact it is undercurrent.

Dr. Destiny walked into a 24-hour cafe. He used the powerful magic of ruby to make everyone in the shop hypnotize themselves into hallucinations and could not leave. People who are swallowed up by their own desires gradually fall into madness and eventually kill each other and destroy themselves. ...

The structure of the sixth chapter moves from madness to death every hour, and the process is as dark and horrible as a cult. The distortion of the mind and the destruction of the body make dreams a cult.

Under the influence of Ruby, the world became crazy, and the sandman arrived in time to fight Dr. Destiny in his dream. Ruby collapsed unexpectedly in the battle, so the sandman recovered all his strength. The doctor who was doomed to fail finally felt fear. ...

Chapter 7 The last scene of Dr. Destiny in the sandman's palm is like the shock when human beings look up at the starry sky for the first time, as quiet and great as facing all things in the universe.

Although the power supply and instrument were successfully recovered, the sandman lost it again and again. My sister "Death" invited my brother to follow her to welcome the lost life and gently appease them to accept death. The sandman gradually began to understand his responsibility. ...

Chapter 8 is the end of a story and the beginning of a series of stories. Everyone is afraid of death, but she still loves us all tenderly.

The binding version of Sandman was launched by Houlang Publishing Company, which inherited the excellent design of Houlang. Inside and outside double seal, hardcover sewing, thick paper, exquisite printing, very satisfying to read.

This book is prefaced by the executive editor of "Vertigo", and also includes the postscript of Gaiman himself and the biography of the co-creator. In the last few pages, the translator also made detailed comments on the uncommon religious and cultural terms in the book.

Sandman is like a profound, wonderful, gorgeous and moving poem, and like magic, it perfectly integrates reality and fantasy. With the vast and charming dialogue and fantastic language, it depicts the magnificent joys and sorrows of life.

On some sleepless nights, I always think of the thin, pale man, dressed in black and with eyes like giant stars. Imagine him passing by like the wind, sleeping in the sandbag, and then I hear the sound of wings, and the dream comes. ...

Wherever he goes, he will return to his home in the river because of the care of human love. ...
