  1. Ty Burr, author of 'Gods Like Us,' discusses the evolution of stardom

    Hollywood makes movies, of course, but just as important — or maybe more so — it makes stars. But as Boston Globe film critic Ty Burr argues in “Gods Like Us: On Movie Stardom and Modern Fame,” the manufacture and maintenance of stars has been neither a smooth process nor one that the studios have always been able to control. In the course of the past century, the stars themselves have exercised an ever-increasing autonomy in the creation of their own images, by means of both their onscreen performances and the conduct of their private lives offscreen. The celebrity news media, whose multitude of platforms now includes the Internet and the cable universe, play an ever more important role. So does the public, whose intense identification with stars has fed a voracious hunger for more and more information about them.

  3. EC Comics Library collections display the grace of cartooning

    If you're a fan of older comic books and comic strips, Fantagraphics is your Santa Claus. The 21st century has proved a golden age for the reproduction of classic comics, with stellar reprint series from Boom! Studios, IDW and others. But Fantagraphics is the king on the cyan, magenta, yellow and black throne. It holds the rights at the moment to the four greatest comics of all time — George Herriman's “Krazy Kat,” Walt Kelly's “Pogo,” Carl Barks' “Uncle Scrooge” and Charles Schulz's “Peanuts” —and is in the midst of reissuing their complete runs in glorious editions that finally do justice to their artwork without subjecting it to the shushing, respectful atmosphere of the museum.
