Document Summary

Name two classical comics and briefly explain how they fit the definition: suggest at least two explanations for the cyclops in ody-c blaming her suffering on all-men . Image: ody-c, hercules, graphic novels, the dark knight returns, watchman, the sandman, fun house, persepolis, Maus: manga, fullmetal alchemist, nausica of the valley of the wind, olympos, bandes dessin es, ast rix. Classics in comics: from the beginning superman was modelled on classical themes. In the concept sketch he is compared to hercules in strength: the original flash was compared to mercury / hermes, winged helmet, captain marvel / shazam, the wisdom of solomon! The speed of mercury: mary marvel, grace of selena! Wisdom of minerva: wonder woman, as lovely as aphrodite . Ody-c: the science fiction retelling of odysseus returning from the trojan war, most of the roles are gender filled, civilization versus savagery, guests versus hosts, a lot of the odyssey is about the hosts of odysseus, all-men, feminism.
