Fear within the Frames: Horror Comics and Moral Danger
Looking back, the moral panic that precipitated the decimation of horror comics in the 1950s seems quaint, yet concerns about the psychological impact of violent media on consumers have never disappeared. In this article, I outline a particular type of psychological impact we ought to take seriously when evaluating the moral status of entertainment. I then consider (a) ways in which comics seem immune from claims that they create this kind of impact for their readers, as well as (b) ways in which we might think that comics generate special instances of moral danger for readers.

Journey to the Center of the Earth
One hundred fifty years later, Jules Verne's epic novel of science and adventure is just as thrilling as when it was first published
A dirty slip of parchment falls from the pages of an ancient manuscript. Deciphered by the indefatigable Otto Liedenbrock, professor of geology, and his reluctant nephew, Axel, the parchment's coded message is a wild assertion made by a medieval alchemist: Inside a volcano in Iceland is a passageway to the center of the earth. Impossible, says Axel—the temperature of the earth's core is far too high for any human being to go near it. That is one theory, the professor replies. Two days later, they embark on a journey so fantastic it will alter the very meaning of history.
First published in 1864, Journey to the Center of the Earth is a cornerstone of science fiction and one of the greatest stories ever told. This ebook edition contains the classic Ward Lock & Co. translation of 1877, one of the first English-language versions faithful to the original French.
This ebook has been professionally proofread to ensure accuracy and readability on all devices.

In a World of Super-Violence, Can Pacifism Pack a Punch?: Nonviolent Superheroes and their Implications
Since at least 1954-the year when Congress, inspired by psychologist Fredric Wertham's Seduction of the Innocent, investigated comics as a cause of juvenile delinquency, and when the industry implemented in the hearings' wake a Comics Code, nominally active until 2011, that disallowed, among much else, \"[s]cenes of excessive violence\"3 -the relevant debate has tended to center around the literal-minded question of how violence in superhero comics impacts the morals and behavior of readers, especially children.4 Rather than assert whether comic book heroes are good or bad role models for individuals, this article will highlight, in accordance with Marco Arnaudo's suggestion that their stories often employ \"a principle of allegory that is relatively rare in the world of contemporary pop fiction\" (17), their metaphoric value, specifically how they stand for other sorts of superhuman entities. [...]I turn to the question posed in my title:

Graphic Novels: A Brief History and Overview for Library Managers
Graphic novels have long fought to gain literary recognition; however, as the struggle has unfolded, graphic novels have not only achieved this, but have also been recognized for their uses and applications within other disciplines as well. These books have overcome the medium’s criticisms of violence, sexual situations, and stereotypes of male power, and have earned their place in our society, and in libraries. As more libraries, both public and academic, integrate graphic novels into their collections, the potential for criticism and censorship attempts increases. Graphic novels deserve the same recognition and consideration for inclusion in libraries as other literary formats; therefore, library managers must have a basic understanding of the format in order to defend their inclusion in collections to critics.
