    In 1961, Lee’s publisher, Martin Goodman, told him to create a series for Marvel Comics to counter DC Comics. Timely Comics had been changed to Atlas Comics and now it’s been changed to Marvel Comics. Lee worked with the illustrator, Jack Kirby and together they created the Fantastic Four. It wasn’t long before the duo created the Hulk, Spider-man, Doctor Strange, Daredevil and the X-Men. Marvel Comics became more and more popular and Lee was promoted to editorial director and publisher. In 1971, he wrote a story for bad-effects on drugs and included it in The Amazing Spider-man. This was appreciated for spreading a responsible message and it helped loosen the Comics Code Authority's strict guidelines on the portrayal of drugs in comics. From 1975, he became more known for Marvel Comics…

    After watching the movie Catch Me If You Can, it was inevitable to me that the most important line in the movie was “I Am Frank William Abagnale Jr.” Frank Jr. was the main character and so it was important to know who he was throughout the whole movie. Frank Jr. was a young man who idealized his family, but mostly his father. He noticed things about his father and how he handled his business. Frank Sr. wasn’t always honest to his family and had ways in getting things he wanted. Sr. used his cunning ways to get ahead in life but once it caught up to him Jr. wanted to help his father and mother get back to where things was normal to them again. So being Frank William Abagnale Jr. was important to Jr. as it was to upholding the name for his father.…

    As a child, Alex enjoyed newspaper comics. He and his sister would trace the comics and add their own captions. Alex Pardee has always been drawn (no pun intended) to “different” art, whether it be old movies like The Dark Crystal and Star Wars, graffiti, skateboard art, or the likes of Strawberry Shortcake. The first twisted comic that captured his interest was The Maxx, created by Sam Keith. Before he found The Maxx, he never took a liking to comic books, thinking they were all superhero nonsense. This dark, untidy comic about the tragic happenings of a teenage girl changed his view of the comic industry as a whole and inspired his own twisted, powerful, unkempt style.…

    Adrian Monk

    • 3 Pages

    A Former police detective named Adrian Monk has suffered from intensified obsessive- compulsive disorder also known as OCD. As well as a variety of phobias since the murder of his wife, Trudy, in 1997. Despite his photographic memory and his amazing ability to piece tiny clues together, he is now on psychiatric leave from the San Francisco Police Department. Monk works as a freelance detective/consultant who is trying to get back on the force. The captain of the force wont let Monk back on until he realizes that he is able to handle the problems that come with the job. The murder of his wife and his inability to solve the case exacerbated his condition to the point where he finds it impossible to function in society without assistance. Monk's assistant is Natalie Teeger, whose loss of her own partner allows her a deeper bond with him than anyone could ever have. Like Sherlock Holmes, Monk absorbs clues from everything at the scene. The smell of the curtains, the height of a chair, a picture on a bookcase. Unlike Holmes, he can't stop fussing about whether he turned off the gas or where he last put his keys. Monk’s personality is very different than many other people. There are four key psychological concepts that describe Monk.…

    I found the Cornel West speech rather interesting because of the way that he used his words and his expressions during his speech. Cornel West is one of the leading African American individuals that appeared in a lot of programs. He used to be a professor in Albert and now a professor at Princeton University. He is controversial because he is outspoken and is very engaged socially. “Getting to know Cornel West has been one of the genuine pleasures of my life,” Gates said. “I have never met a person who combines genuine passion for the plight of human beings less fortunate than he with intellectual insight and the capacity on his feet to communicate both that depth of comparison and to propose solutions that would cure the suffering that he is describing (Morrison, 45).…
