do the assignment below

History 175 paper guidelines The paper should 6-8 pages (double-spaced). Title pages and bibliographies are optional, but do not count toward the 6-8 pages. The paper must compare two comics, one published before 1960 and one published after 2000. This is about the original comic books publication date, not about when it was put into a trade paperback or republished in some other form. The two comics you choose should be the same genre so both should be crime comics, or both science fiction comics, or both superhero comics, or? On the superhero front, you can compare two comics of the same superhero, or comics with two different superheroes. Your paper should have these basics of college papers: - Have a title (title page is optional but it should have a title). - a clear opening paragraph that, in this case, says what the paper covers and gives specific information on the two comic books you are using, including issue number and year of publication. - It should also have a clear concluding paragraph that sums up what you have argued in your comparison. For this specific assignment, you must compare the pre-1960 and post-2000 comics you choose on each of the following points: 1) Intended audience in terms of age, and possibly in terms of gender (give specific examples from each comic to make your case). 2) How men and women are portrayed in each comic; give examples. 3) Discussion of how race is treated (this is relevant even if all characters shown are of the same race what does that tell you?). 4) Evidence within each comic book that gives some clues about when the comic was created (separate from the publication date!). Likely examples might include technology, clothing styles, hair styles, but other aspects of the comic may also tell you something about when it was written and derawn. You can spend much more time on some of these issues than on others, but each topic listed here should be discussed. You can also compare the comics on other issues, as seems relevant to you based on the comics themselves and your interests. These are topics I want covered in each paper, but that does not mean you cant discuss additional topics that seem interesting to you. Finding a pre-1960 comic book: You should be able to find pre-1955 comics at the Digital Comic Museum, a fabulous website with thousands of older comics: digitalcomicmuseum.com I have placed two trade paperbacks on reserve that can also be used for the pre-1955 comic: Golden Age Human Torch Vol. 1 (includes early Human Torch stories, early Sub-Mariner stories, as well as a few assorted other kinds of stories) Superman Archives Vol. 1 (the earliest Superman stories from Action Comics) Early stories of other DC and Marvel characters can also be found in trade paperback collections at comic book stores, or might be available at your local library. Another option is the online Amazon-affiliated Comixology.com, where digital copies of early Wonder Woman, Batman, Captain America, and others can be found for a few dollars (or in some cases for free).
