Folio Society Presents Batman!

(February 19, 2024) The Folio Society, independent publisher of beautifully illustrated hardback books, in collaboration with DC, will celebrate the 85th anniversary of the first comic book appearance of DC’s Dark Knight Detective with the release of DC: Batman. Created by Bob Kane with Bill Finger, Batman first appeared in 1939’s Detective Comics #27 and since then the Dark Knight has stood as a symbol of determination, courage and justice to generations of fans for over 80 years. Batman is one of the most iconic fictional characters in the world, and is a self-made Super Hero, notable not for his super powers, but for his intelligence, determination, and tech savvy.

This collectible compilation includes twelve seminal comics, by a host of iconic writers and artists— including Bill Finger, Bob Kane, Jerry Robinson, Denny O'Neil, Neal Adams, Marshall Rogers, Frank Miller, Dave Mazzucchelli, Alan Moore, Brian Bolland and Kelley Jones—all selected and introduced by former DC President, Publisher and Editor-in-Chief of DC, Jennette Kahn. Along with the 320-page one-of-a-kind deluxe book, DC: Batman also comes with a stand-alone replica copy of Batman #1. Scanned in its entirety from an original 1940 copy, the replica copy of the Batman #1 comic book, which includes the original back-up strips and vintage ads and introduces DC’s Clown Prince of Crime, aka The Joker, and The Cat, who would come to be known as Catwoman.

“Created towards the end of the Great Depression by artist Bob Kane with writer Bill Finger, Batman is an icon as familiar as James Bond or Tarzan, one who has evolved to reflect the changing attitudes of the twentieth century,” said Folio Society Head of Editorial, James Rose. “The stories selected for DC: Batman reveal how the character and his billionaire alter-ego Bruce Wayne gradually evolved from the dutiful crimefighter of the 1940s to a man possessed, as crazy as the criminals he puts away. The Caped Crusader faces a rogue’s gallery steeped in gothic horror, from the Weimar cinema-inspired The Joker to the Jekyll/Hyde figure of Two-Face and the Moriarty-like Ra's al Ghul.”

“Trauma is a through-line in the Batman mythology,” writes Jenette Kahn in her introduction. “It has made psychopaths of Batman’s foes and brought him to the edge of madness himself. Batman’s battle is not just against criminals and crime. He fears the day he’ll look into a mirror and see, not Bruce Wayne’s

face, but The Joker’s.” The first woman at the helm of the legendary comic book publisher, Jenette Kahn helped transform comics into a sophisticated art form during her 27-year tenure from 1976 to 2002.

“The Dark Knight Returns by Frank Miller and Batman: Year One, by Miller and Dave Mazzucchelli, and the terrifying classic The Killing Joke by Alan Moore and Brian Bolland are widely regarded as among the greatest comic books ever created,” said Folio Society Publishing Director, Tom Walker. “These stories changed the graphic medium forever with their combination of cinematic storytelling, shocking violence and literary depth and serve as centerpiece texts for DC: Batman.”

The Curse

SWAMP THING #40 SEPTEMBER 1985 BY ALAN MOORE, STEVE BISSETTE, JOHN TOTLEBEN AND TATJANA WOOD

SYNOPSIS (FROM DC DATABASE)

In Kennescook, Maine, a woman named Phoebe lives in a house that was built over the former location of a lodge in which menstruating Pennamaquot Indian women were forced to stay, because their menstruation was considered unclean. She has much sympathy for the women who were forced to stay there, sensing their accumulated anger with being confined.

In the Louisiana swamp, Abby Holland is happy to have Swamp Thing back, after his trip to Illinois. His new-found ability to regenerate his body anywhere in the world has made it easier to travel, and to be just a step away from Abby. She comments that, due to his strange nature, he is much like the man she dreamed of marrying - except green and covered in fungus.

Back in Maine, Phoebe has some guests over for coffee, and quietly allows her husband Roy's backhanded remarks to go unquestioned as the accumulated anger of the Pennamaquot women builds further within her. After the guests have gone, her husband makes further insensitive remarks, and the rage becomes uncontrollable.

At John Constantine's urging, Swamp Thing arrives in Kennescook, immediately sensing an old, primal power there. Meanwhile, a full moon glows in the sky, and Phoebe stares out into the night. Her husband makes one final remark that sends her over the edge. The rage becomes so powerful that a huge wolf escapes from her mouth, leaving an empty husk of her skin on the ground. The wolf chases Roy around the house, and in his frantic run, he bumps into the Swamp Thing - the sight of whom causes him to faint. What appears to be some kind of telepathic link allows the two to communicate. Swamp Thing reaches out to the wolf, stating that he is of the earth, and asks what she is. The wolf responds that she is woman, and that he should not stand between her and her wrath. After staring at each other for a time, Swamp Thing realizes that he hasn't got the right or the authority to stop her - just the necessity. Unfortunately, he is not strong enough.

Even as she nearly kills her husband, Phoebe, the wolf, cannot bring herself to do it. In frustration, she goes on a rampage, and destroys anything that – to her – reflects the conservative gender role constraints society has placed upon women. She destroys an adult book store, and encounters Swamp Thing again. He begs her to let him help her. She responds that unless he can release her from the world that has made women subservient, he should kill her. With no response or resistance, the wolf runs into a supermarket, and destroys much of its stock. Finally, she sees a knife display, advertising "Here's good news for housewives!", and throws herself onto the exposed blades. Impaled there, her form reverts to that of Phoebe's human body. She asks that Swamp Thing take her to die outdoors, and he complies. She asks whether her husband is alright, and when Swamp Thing confirms that he is alive, she is thankful, and dies.

Afterwards, Swamp Thing encounters Constantine in the woods. The Englishman gives him a small sheet of paper with new travel instructions, and angrily Swamp Thing refuses to carry on, stating that he will be returning to Louisiana rather than follow Constantine on a wild goose-chase. Constantine seems unconcerned and walks away. When Swamp Thing looks at the paper in his hand, he realizes that his next destination is Louisiana.

ALAN MOORE SAYS

This story was about the difficulties endured by women in masculine societies, using the common taboo of menstruation as the central motif. The plot concerned a young married woman moving into a new home built upon the site of an old Indian lodge and finding herself possessed by the dominating spirit that still resided there, turning her into a werewolf (Moore, Alan Moore's Writing for Comics 6-7).

REVIEW

To understand the full background of the feminism movement in 1985, I encourage you to read this paper. It is about this story, but it explains some misconceptions of the time about native american women and how the first feminists used racism to help their cause. This clashed with the second wave of feminists.

But I am not really affected by the historical accuracy or not of the folk tale about women being isolated during menstruation, because this happened everywhere. You just need to go to the bible to find out that woman weren’t supposed to be in the house during menstruation. This problem existed since... well, since patriarchy was created. The fact that there is an extra layer of racism in the american culture, is beyond the main point of the story.

Moore does an amazing job of putting his ideas on the page. Sometimes with iconography, other times with things that would normally feel harmless. Woman are still isolated during their periods. But it goes also beyond that, the story explores how women have been relegated in society and they are sometimes accomplices of that view. There is a point in this story when Phoebe is trashing images of wedding dresses. The imagery of what patriarchy considers women to be. She is then killed by housewives silverware, just to make a point.

You can feel Phoebe’s anger even before she transforms and I think that, no matter which wave of feminism this story sides with, it can help men understand the feminist cause. Have in mind that at the time, comic book readers were mostly male (an absurd high percentage of men). And this was distributed to newsstands, not just comic shops. It was a bold move from DC. It also helps that the editor is a woman (Karen Berger), Swamp Thing’s colorist has almost always up to this point been a woman (Tatjana Wood), and the president of DC at the time was also a woman (Jennette Kahn, my favourite of all-time DC presidents). Yet, it was written by a man. Which makes this even more interesting.

And Swamp Thing in this story represents the other side. Swampy can reproduce by himself, he is beyond male or female representation (although it is easy to see him as a male, considering his memories). This is when having this elemental Swamp Thing really helps the stories. If it was Alec Holland instead of this Swampy, the context would have been different. Swamp Thing is not a man in this story. He can relate to her problems the same way he could relate to Superman’s problems in DC Comics Presents.

There are a lot of Swamp Thing stories to like. But this one is amazing. It really makes you feel a lot. I grew up surrounded by women, so I am familiarized with menstruation. But of course, I never had to go through that ordeal and I also didn’t have to live with it as a taboo.

What do the female readers think of this issue?

I give this issue a score of 10

MERLEFEST WEEK BEGINS

Mike Rominger and Christine Hammel played an eclectic mixture of music and songs, ending with Roy Orbison's "Pretty Woman" which the entire crowd seemed to be singing along with.

On hand to enjoy a beautiful Easter Sunday of music were, Ed Sturdivant, his wife Tricia, and their son Carter.

The tent was eerily quiet as Benjamin Barker played "The Old Rugged Cross" on his harp.

Dr. Bryan's daughter, Pam Terrell, emceed most of the event.

The annual event is hosted by the Wilkes Acoustic Folk Society, and is always held the Sunday prior to MerleFest on the campus of Wilkes Community College in Wilkesboro.

MerleFest begins Thursday and will run through Sunday.

Bryan passed away in 2011. He was a well-loved physician, who delivered thousands of babies, as well as an avid fan of Americana music. He was also a supporter of the musicians who performed this genre, particularly those from the area.

Bryan hosted these jams for years, and since his death they have been continued as a tribute to his memory.

Performers at the tribute included: Mill Road, Ernest Johnson and Ralph Clanton, Catawba Bluegrass Boys, David Russell and Benjamin Barker, Horseplay, R.G. Absher and Friends, Christine Hammel, Mike Rominger, The Ya-Ya's, The Trailblazers, Backporch Bluegrass and The Kruger Brothers.

The concert, which will end after the last group performs, is free to the public.

The Wilkes Acoustic Folk Society (WAFS) will also host free jams, which began during their monthly meeting on Monday.

Pre-MerleFest Jams were set to be held from Monday through Wednesday evening, starting at 6 p.m., at the Wilkesboro campus. Various tents will also be set up for the jams. The jams prior to the festival are free and no wristbands are required.

During MerleFest anyone with an admittance wristband can bring instruments and participate in the various jams that are hosted by WAFS, which will be held throughout festival hours.

This year’s MerleFest lineup includes: American Aquarium, Andy May, Ana Egge & The Sentimentals, Ashley Heath and Her Heathens, AZTEC SUN, Banknotes, Bob Hill, Cane Mill Road, Carol Rifkin, Carolina Blue, Casey Kristofferson Band, Catfish Keith, Charles Welch, Chris Rodrigues with Abby the Spoonlady, David LaMotte, Dirk Powell Band, Donna the Buffalo, Driftwood, Elephant Sessions, Elizabeth Cook, Ellis Dyson & The Shambles, Gordie MacKeeman & His Rhythm Boys, Happy Traum, Irish Mythen, Jack Lawrence, Jeff Little Trio, Jim Avett, Jim Lauderdale, Joe Smothers, Jontavious Willis and Andrew Alli, Josh Goforth, Junior Brown, Junior Sisk, Larry Stephenson Band, Laura Boosinger, Lindi Ortega, Mark Bumgarner, Mark & Maggie O’Connor, Maybe April, Michaela Anne, Mile Twelve, The Milk Carton Kids, Mitch Greenhill and String Madness, Molly Tuttle, Nixon, Blevins, & Gage, Pete & Joan Wernick and FLEXIGRASS, Presley Barker, Professor Whizzpop!, Radney Foster, Roy Book Binder, Salt & Light, Scythian, Sean McConnell, Shane Hennessy, Si Kahn & The Looping Brothers, Steep Canyon Rangers, Steve Poltz, T.

The lineup and performance schedules are accessible viaMerleFest.org/lineup.

MerleFest is pleased to partner with Come Hear NC, a promotional campaign of the North Carolina Department of Natural & Cultural Resources and the North Carolina Arts Council, to celebrate 2019 as “The Year of Music,” a designation Governor Roy Cooper announced in November of last year. MerleFest, honoring its locale, has programmed over 40 artists who currently call North Carolina home, each artist representing a different aspect of the state’s great musical history. Come Hear NC was designed to celebrate North Carolinians’ groundbreaking contributions to many of America’s most important musical genres — blues, bluegrass, jazz, country, gospel, Americana, rock and everything in-between. It’s fitting then, with 2019 as “The Year of Music,” that the Steep Canyon Rangers, also proud North Carolinians, would debut their North Carolina Songbook set at MerleFest.

About MerleFest

MerleFest was founded in 1988 in memory of the son of the late American music legend Doc Watson, renowned guitarist Eddy Merle Watson. MerleFest is a celebration of "traditional plus" music, a unique mix of traditional, roots-oriented sounds of the Appalachian region, including old-time, classic country, bluegrass, folk and gospel and blues, and expanded to include Americana, classic rock and many other styles. The festival hosts a diverse mix of artists on its 13 stages during the course of the four-day event. MerleFest has become the primary fundraiser for the WCC Foundation, funding scholarships, capital projects and other educational needs.
