    1. Rumours about the girl's relationship to the band fuelled the controversy; among them were that she was Baker's illegitimate daughter, and that she was a groupie kept as a slave by the band members. Actually, the young girl was a London suburbanite, who posed upon consent by her parents and for a fee, as described in Seidemann's mini essay about the origins of the Blind Faith album cover artwork.

    1. Why does Rose’s secret crush, Duncan, refuse to call his crying girlfriend back?

      I do wish we got a little more info on this subject...I wanted to see how it ended...It is like watching the first two episodes of a tv show

    2. coming-of-age graphic

      This seems to be what they like sticking to.

    1. Finally, the combination of nuclear eschatology with trauma shows the complexity and depth that graphic novels can reach.

      True. Before reading Watchmen, the only other graphic novels I had ever read were the Scott Pilgrim books. This one kind of took me by surprise with how dark and gritty it was, but it was also kind of refreshing.

    2. the Hiroshima lovers

      the graffiti

    3. Bernard, the newsvendor, realizes that, though numerous people repeatedly come by his newsstand, he knows none of them; all of them, instead, are caught up in their own fears and problems.

      Even regular people can feel isolated. The fact that this was included in the story made this argument a lot stronger. If they had just focused on the "Watchmen", it would have been harder to relate to.

    4. "continually recurring in the present"

      True. It's like no matter how much time passes, it they cant get over the event' it is always happening. The fact that time doesn't really stay on a straight line in this graphic novel really helps highlight this.

    5. As if to emphasize Jon's current difficulties connecting to people, much of the other repetitious images focus on his failed relationship with Janey Slater, intrusive reminders of a relationship that failed because of his accident.

      Thats tough, buddy. But he is much older than everybody but hasn't figured out that his friends are all going to get older...

    6. "obsolete"

      It's obsolete, but he dwells on it for so long after this. It never really becomes obsolete for him.

    7. they cannot relate to him anymore because of his difference.

      this is really sad. But could the light coming off of Jon and reflecting of the people also show that he is effecting them in some way and that he is not as separated as he thinks?

    8. graphic novels can utilize images to emphasize the "frozen and wordless quality of traumatic memories..."

      maybe it's because we can actually see them go through it instead of just imagining what it is like for the characters.

    9. fragmented

      This is what makes the repetition work. In a film, you want everything to flow perfectly and you avoid fragmentation as much as possible while graphic novels just lend them self to this kind of structure.

    10. In their most typical forms, graphic novels possess many formalistic features that could be used to express trauma.

      All of the repeated panels throughout the novel are running through my head now. That's a tool that I think works best in a graphic novel. In both films and books, repetition, when used a lot, starts to feel really clunky, but in Watchmen it worked very well and felt very natural.

    11. Novelists have frequently found that the impact of trauma can only adequately be represented by mimicking its forms and symptoms, so that temporality and chronology collapse, and narratives are characterized by repetition and indirection

      makes me think about Rorshach's inner dialog throughout the novel.

    12. portraying the symptoms of trauma through the formal techniques of the graphic novel and its images

      That's interesting to think about

    13. "scenarios that mirror the [world's] current political and social problems"

      Where as a lot of comic books, like Captain America, were created to make things like WWII a little lighter, or to serve as propaganda. I mean, Captain America would just go around punching Hitler.
