The great comic book heroes 19655/31/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Right: "The Great Comic Book Heroes" 1965 Left: "The Funnies: An American Idiom" 1963. We'd have to wait until the early-mid 1960s (probably starting with White & Abel's "The Funnies: An American Idiom" in 1963) to see any influx of titles. The first book of ANY kind I ever specifically asked for was "The Great Comic Book Heroes" by Jules Feiffer (1965) and I still covet my original copy! Through the years I've added whatever I could find about comics to my library, but it seems that other than a few published works like "Comics and Their Creators" by Martin Sheridan (1942), "The Comics" by Coulton Waugh (1949), and the infamous "critique" of comic books, "Seduction of the Innocent" by Fredric Wertham (1954), there were very few mainstream works published that were exclusively dedicated to the comics industry. Having been a big fan of comic books since I was a little kid, any books written about them and the industry itself has always grabbed my attention. ![]()

David Hinton’s translation of Li Po’s poems is no less an achievement than his critically acclaimed The Selected Poems of Tu Fu, also published by New Directions. Legendary friends in eighth-century T'ang China, Li Po and Tu Fu are traditionally celebrated as the two greatest poets in the Chinese canon. He wrote 1,200 years ago, half a world away, but in his poems we see our world transformed. However ethereal in spirit, his poems remain grounded in the everyday experience we all share. ![]() There is a set-phrase in Chinese referring to the phenomenon of Li Po: "Winds of the immortals, bones of the Tao."

His work is suffused with Taoism and Ch'an (Zen) Buddhism, but these seem not so much spiritual influences as the inborn form of his life. Li Po (AD 701-762) lived in T'ang Dynasty China, but his influence has spanned the centuries: the pure lyricism of his poems has awed readers in China and Japan for over a millennium, and through Ezra Pound’s translations, Li Po became central to the modernist revolution in the West. ![]() Sigma force book 25/31/2023 ![]() ![]() With the Vatican in chaos, SIGMA Force leaps into action.
