2nd and later printings. Text by Massimiliano Capella. Translated by Sylvia Adrian Notini and Antony Shugaar. BARBIE: THE CELEBRATION OF AN ICON is a picture book that tells the story of one of the most influential trendsetters in history: Barbie Millicent Roberts. At 65 years of age, the doll continues to be an inspirational muse, true to her nature as a fashion icon, but ever more inclusive and attentive to global issues, consistent with her motto, "You can be anything," which is increasingly contemporary. In the 2023 movie Barbie, directed by Greta Gerwig, she appeared for the first time in the flesh thanks to actress Margot Robbie, a true contemporary transposition of the original "Teenage Fashion Doll" presented at the New York Toy Fair on March 9, 1959: sinuous lines and a striking face commensurate with the sophisticated aesthetics of the stars of the 1950s. In this book, through five sections and an up-to-date timeline (1959-2024), Barbie helps us reinterpret the social and aesthetic trends that have exercised their influence from the 1950s to present day through history, fashion, society, art, and costume.

By Will Brooker.

A work of scholarship and a labor of love.

A historical, detailed, deep analysis of Batman as a cultural icon in America. This isn't a simple polemic or surface-shallow analysis. This is deep stuff-analyzing art styles, histories, individual panels, cultural concepts, and historical documents. plenty of startling revelations and analyses This is a stunningly well-done, intelligent book. It's proof that comics are not throwaway ephemera, but real, vital, analyzable parts of our culture.

Over the sixty years of his existence, Batman has encountered an impressive array of cultural icons and has gradually become one himself. This fascinating book examines what Batman means and has meant to the various audiences, groups and communities who have tried to control and interpret him over the decades. Brooker reveals the struggles over Batman's meaning by shining a light on the cultural issues of the day that impacted on the development of the character. They include: patriotic propaganda of the Second World War; the accusation that Batman was corrupting the youth of America by appearing to promote a homosexual lifestyle to the fans of his comics; Batman becoming a camp, pop culture icon through the ABC TV series of the sixties; fans' interpretation of Batman in response to the comics and the Warner Bros. franchise of films.

1st Printing - March, 2002. Crab Allan is just your average freelance photographer living in the sleepy fishing town of Newport. Being a photographer means trying to capture the perfect moment, but also one has to contend with other kinds of challenges - a young, mysterious murder witness to fall head over heels for, a government conspiracy trying to cover the murder up, a pair of middle class hitmen, a stereotypical hotdog vendor, a gang of teenage gothic wannabes, a doctor of sorts that likes to hypnotize people for no clear reason, and a monkey that chain smokes (although he is trying to quit). Yes, being a photographer means getting the perfect shot. Unfortunately, everyone else is trying to shoot Crab. Softcover, 8" x 11.5", 116 pages, B&W. Cover price $35.50.
