The result was a visual screed, a comic book that flattered its audience and its presumption of seriousness in regard to the rescue and transliteration of material from goofiness to gravitas. This production made assets of its liabilities, and was an occasionally arresting, occasionally incoherent reinvention of one of the trinity, a comic book that was the medium’s resonant equivalent of that brilliant remark of Irving Kristol—the one-time City College Trotskyite and founding father of Neo-Conservatism—in his definition, “A Neo-Conservative is a Liberal who’s been mugged by reality.”
The other comic book was a brutally formalist assault on the very nature of what that zeitgeist had demanded of comic books in the first place, identifying the nightmarish notion of transliterating these children’s stories, these adolescent power fantasies, into realistic narrative for the consumption of adults, along the lines of, say, taking Curious George and the Man in the Yellow Hat back to Africa to address the crisis of female circumcision.
Both these comic books were, as noted, hugely successful critically and commercially, and, of course, enormously influential too. The first opened the door to an epidemic of self-dramatization and self-mythologizing, of the paper-thin characters, and, curiously, of a discomfiting bunch of the talent pool itself, too, who made it clear that mistaking gravity for enormity was no mistake at all if they made it.
The second, as was clear to anyone paying attention, was a cautionary tale…and like all too many other cautionary tales, it became an instruction manual.
L'article a l'air dense et un peu touffu et peut etre trop reference pour moi, mais je vais tacher de le lire.Ganelon a écrit : ↑ven. oct. 21, 2022 9:36 am Un article d'Howard Chaykin (American Flagg, Black Kiss, The Spirit, Ironwolf) sur son rapport aux superhéros (pas loin de Moore d'ailleurs).

Je suis loin d'etre un expert, mais j'avais pas compris que Wathcmen elevait de la même intention que Dark Knight, ce dernier me semblant plus premier degre par son auteur -ou je le mélange avec ses polémiques suivantes ?Pascalahad a écrit : ↑sam. oct. 22, 2022 10:32 am C'est tout le propos de Watchmen, une déconstruction "adulte" du mythe du super-héros. C'était, comme le Dark Knight de Miller, censé être une exception, une anomalie, mais l'industrie a récupéré les deux titres pour en faire des modèles à émuler. De "cautionary tales", des histoires qui informeraient sur les dérives du genre s'il est pris trop au sérieux, ils deviennent "manuels d'instruction".
