Comix as memoir, covered in the last installment of TIME.comix, is just one of the many underused approaches to comicbook narrative. The adaptation of other media has become a lost genre in graphic literature. From the 1940s to the early 60s Gilberton Publications' "Classics Illustrated," featured "Stories by the World's Greatest Authors," as the tagline said. Since then, except for the mostly execrable "franchising" of sci-fi movies and TV series, comicbooks have done little exploring in the adaptation of other media. Of late it has been one publisher, the New York-based NBM (Nantier, Beall and Minoustchine) that...
...made it up while sitting in a barber chair in front of a drawing board, left a bit of his capacious spirit to inspire the rest of us. We can see it in his wrily amused smile. We can trace it in the joy of Hirschfeld's seraphic graphic...
After weeks of dampening expectations for "smoking gun" evidence against Iraq, the Bush administration is now teeing up an "Adlai Stevenson moment." That's diplomat-speak for the instant in which a U.S. official trumps all naysayers at the United Nations by hauling out graphic, incontrovertible evidence that its enemy is lying.

Secretary of State Colin Powell hopes to produce a similar effect...
...Before the first Gulf War, President Bush compared Saddam to Hitler to help explain him. Tonight, his son did a version of the same, putting forward a graphic litany of the Iraqi dictator's abuses: " electric shock, burning with hot irons, dripping acid on the skin, mutilation with electric drills, cutting out tongues, and rape." This was an abbreviated version of stories that have animated the president for months, according to White House officials. These are the tales that Bush tells in the private meetings. This barbarism is why, advisers say, Bush is so insistent, as he said...
...secret of Kingpin is that in the episodes sent to critics, its language and violence are not much more explicit than what we've already seen on network TV. An attention-getting moment in the pilot--a gangster feeds a human leg to his pet tiger--is no more graphic than many scenes in CSI; there is fleeting partial nudity, but sadly for anyone hoping for a reprise of the Bada Bing club, it's an old man exposing a hint of pubic hair. The real risk it takes is that, like The Sopranos, Kingpin puts bad guys front...
