The article focuses on Jakob Hinrichs, a comic artist, highlighting his unconventional studio space and his approach to comic art as a legitimate and evolving form of contemporary literature and visual expression. Topics include his innovative adaptations of literary classics into graphic novels, his rejection of conventional artistic norms in favor of populism, and his use of traditional printing techniques to enhance the visual and tactile experience of his books.

Up to now, comics have mainly been used for teaching literature. In this article, approaches of language teaching methodology for the use of comics in German classes are presented. Using the example of the history comic Mosaik, the article discusses different variants of languagehistorical staging. The didactic potential subsequently shown illustrates how comics can be used in language teaching to promote both vocabulary acquisition and the development of language criticism competence and thus the formation of language awareness among students. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The paper analyses different verbal and non-verbal ways of disagreement. From both a pedagogical and didactic perspective, it argues that multimodal texts such as the Asterix comic books are well suited to explore the verbal and non-verbal aspects of quarrels. The analysis incorporates elements of PicDRT, a quite recently proposed variant of Discourse Representation Theory that enables the discursive interpretation of multimodal texts. PicDRT is then combined with didactic and educational elements. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article discusses historical narratives in graphic novels, manga, and comic books as well as attempting a definition of historical comics. Topics of discussion include the history of European historical comics such as "Astérix" and "Mosaik", the categorization of comics and manga within literature, and the use of comics in education. Information is offered on the introduction of fictional protagonists and characters into historical situations in graphic media and the retelling of other novels through comics.

This essay examines the representation of emotions in comics from the early history of modern comics around 1900 until the present day. It begins by examining the representation of emotions in comic strips from the turn-of-the-century to the 1950s, then presents a close reading of exemplary comic books and graphic novels of the postwar era which depict historical events. Finally, it compares contemporary graphic novels with historico-political subjects, arguing that comics are not limited to comedy and comical subjects. For when dealing with historical items, comics convey emotions connected with impotence, perplexity and grief. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article discusses how emotions have been portrayed in comic strips throughout history since around 1900, and how feelings have been treated thematically in the historical development of American comics, which are seen to have had international influence. Although there is little systematic research on this form of pop culture, the authors of the article point out that feelings are rarely absent from comics, and appear in the form of gestures or mimicry. They cite as examples the comic strip "Peanuts" with its Charlie Brown character by cartoonist Charles Schulz, and also refer to the comic book "Maus" by artist Art Spiegelman. Also referred to are the comics of Superman and Batman, which portray patriotism and a sense of justice.
