(We’d be remiss if we failed to point out that Lessig helped pioneer the very idea of “open source” distribution.)

The 'manga' style has an extensive history, beginning sometime in the 10th century scrolls from that period depict animals as part of the 'upper class', behaving as a typical human would in similar situations. Manga are typically 'comic books' as the West understands them rather, they represent pieces of Japanese culture and history. The word Manga, when translated directly, means “whimsical drawings”. The graphic novels are usually presented in "manga-style," meaning a right-to-left format. All formats are available in English translation, graphic novels, however, are the most common and can be found in both major bookstore chains and local comic shops. ![]() Manga is read either in serialized comic books, monthly magazines, or graphic novels.

DC are currently re-releasing The Saga of the Swamp Thing in collected volumes because new, and old, readers still find it as fresh and exciting as it was 36 years ago. Watchmen continues to sell thousands of copies every year because it is a seminal work of sequential Art. ![]() Whatever you think about the later writings of Alan Moore, there is simply no denying that at the start of his career he wrote some of the greatest comics ever published. The result was a long, 40 plus issue run that not only blended a multitude of genres but, most importantly, made the Swamp Thing a must read comic. Just like Neil Gaiman with The Sandman character, Alan Moore was given free reign to do with the comic whatever he wished. In 1983 DC comics hired a relatively new, up and coming writer to overhaul one of their more obscure horror titles: Swamp Thing. Everything runs its course, and even the best of ideas can become stale if they are not given the chance to be re-born. ![]() |
