    On this core Friday, Professor John Bultena from the Merritt Writing Program gave a lecture about comics. He doesn’t draw or write comics but he studied it for five years and been teaching about it. His goals for the lecture were to give an insight about what comics offer and the creation of behind it. There is more than enjoyment in comics and from visual information it can give a person deeper connection and understand through metaphor. Also in comics, there is always a question about how one panel goes to another, and the answer is always depending on the artist perception. John Bultena showed different styles of comic throughout the lecture but the first one he started out was with just a visual comic with no illustrations. This first one…

    Alex Pardee

    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.…
