week 4

Unable to find Art Spiegelman's Jack Cole and Plastic Man  comic without purchasing something online, I opted out and read The adventure of TINTIN adventures on the moon. Tintin  and the group wake up on the rocket mid space. They had fell asleep during takeoff and as ground control tries to call on them, Snowy the dog hears and the voice and wakes Tintin. Two detectives had stuck aboard the ship and thought they were being clever only to discover that the ship had already taken off before they could get off. The captain upset with the two knuckleheads yells at them for coming aboard the ship since they had only contained enough oxygen for four people and now theres six. The captain sends them off only to drink whiskey in the cabin with snowy.  The detectives seem to be the catalysts for things going wrong on the ship as the story continues. The captain is so drum he decides to climb out of the ship and Tintin must go outside and retrieve him. Towards the end they land of the moon and explore it and find the bad guys and capture them. The comic has a lot of text to read, which draws out the story to be longer for the viewers,but some of the panels aren't different enough to really show a movement thats important, leaving very little to the imagination to bring the story to life even more.


The Haunt of Fear, the first comic tells the story of the werewolf who fell in love with a vampire. The werewolf who was once a man had been traveling through the woods only to fall and be scratched by wolves bane and by the next full moon he changed. When he was feeding on his victim, a beautiful  woman came around and started to drink the blood of the victim. Instead of fighting, they shared their first kill and fell in love. Eventually the towns people found them, thinking they had killed the two brought them to the devils graveyard where they lived in the moseleum  where they married with the dead around them and they gave birth to a baby. Who turned out to be the witch who tells the story.
