to study comics, there are some important names that you should know. in our local context is obviously Prof Muliyadi mahamood. Karna Mustakim, my senior had done comic studies on phenomenology of comics in malaysia. hes from Indonesia and I can say he is really passionate about comics. Go karna!
other names to acknowledge are John A lent, Scott Mccloud, Fredrick Schodt, Will Eisner, and etc. Feel free to add more names!
Ketiga-tiga buku karya Scott sy da baca..,betul tu..,gaya penceritaannya seolah-olah dia bercakap direct pd pembaca,mudah paham. emm bole tak klu u cerita ttg research oleh Prof Muliyadi,ini kali pertama sy mendengar mengenai dia,mcm best jerk ..hehehe thanks :)
ReplyDeleteYou can start with definitions (for e.g., the definition of manga etc.) for your lit rev., then you can start with the history of the development of comics? hehehe just a thought.
ReplyDeleteartzam: prof muliyadi punye research ni psl the development of komik malaysia. his works focuses more on komik2 'lama', di zaman gila-gila, sebab die memang write montly articles dekat majalah tu. i suggest u buy 'dunia kartun' tu artzam, menarek sangat2, n yg paling best, its cheap! not more than rm30 tak silap, lame dah beli :)
ReplyDeletehallie: yap, definitions and history tu akan jon cover, these comics yang i already made is how to say ek, som random and related stuff yg related to how i decided to do comic research. pahams ke hallie dear? hehehe i mis u la! hehe
I've met Dr.Lent when he was in Malaysia, he's quite knowledgeable in comics history. When I talked to him about the early days of manga influence coming to Malaysia, he was quite interested. You should share the findings of your research with him.
ReplyDeletehello dangerism :)
ReplyDeletethats a very good info, ive read couple of his writings, but his writing focuses more on malaysia's comic scene in the mjalah gila-gila era. but still, i will get in touch with him through his mail. tq dear sir ;)
Exactly, that's why he's interested in some of the more modern history of Malaysian comics, especially the era when Gempak first came around and slowly transitioned into a more manga-centric magazine. It's important to note the early internet era was important in bringing in new ideas to the field as well, which was how local mangakas such as Aimo first made names for themselves.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the input dangerism. There are actually not many literature review on more current n modern context discussing on comic art in malaysia. Some view manga as a sensitive subject to be discus on, eventho the influence of it is very much apparent. Thats what im trying to do, to document on the more recent issues in ourlocal comic industry. Btw, other than aimo and gempak artists, do u have any other artists suggestions which have manga influence in their career? Preferably artists who has much experience in the comic scene?
