Details: Spider-Man flies through the auditorium, Batman performs artistic show acts, Prince Valiant monologues at the stage apron, and Popeye brawls on the stage boards – these and numerous other examples show that comics are clearly gaining importance not only in film and popular culture, but also in contemporary theater. In addition to their characters and stories, formal-aesthetic aspects of the 'ninth art' and the graphic medium itself are also finding their way into the theater. This volume examines the multifaceted exchange processes and complex interactions between the two art forms based on their manifestations in theater. The focus is on the central cultural, geographical, and genre-specific venues of comic adaptation, the different types of comic appropriation and use on stage, as well as detailed case studies that illuminate the intermedial dramaturgy and aesthetics of selected theater productions. Comic adaptations and 'stage comics' such as Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark, Batman Live, Prince Valiant, Barefoot Gen, Popeye’s Godda Blues, TeZukA, Hapless Hooligan in ›Still Moving‹, and Sergeant Superpower Saves America – and many other productions from the last fifteen years – are discussed.
