Divide and Conquer
Cummins, Maureen
Doctor Strange
This book is an example of a typical comic book. Measuring 6 ? x 10 ? inches, it is saddle-stitch bound and runs for 25 pages including advertisements. The two staples placed roughly three inches from the top and bottom are clearly visible on the book’s spine, and the back cover features an ad instead of information about the comic itself. In 2002 it was bound into a trade paperback with several other single issue comics, and the new book was titled Dr. Strange, A Separate Reality.

Famous Funnies: a Carnival of Comics
This volume is often lauded as the progenitor of the American comic book. A very important historical artifact in its own right, it contains both newspaper strips and new content bound together in the form of a book. In the context of this discussion, Famous Funnies is a particularly good example of the changes that occur between printing on one form of paper versus another. The first page of the story is printed on the back of the cover, and the second page is printed on the first interior page. The interior pages are newsprint, while the exterior cover is a thicker paper with a gloss finish, which lead to the strong visual differences between the two first pages. The first page that was printed onto the thicker gloss paper of the cover has bolder colors, as the whiter surface makes the variances in the ink easily visible. Additionally, the surface of the cover paper is less porous, so the ink has not absorbed as far into the page. This is not the case for the second page that was printed on a newsprint sheet. The ink colors here have a noticeably duller appearance, as the newsprint absorbed more of the pigment, and the darker tone of the paper dulled the image further since the lighter colors rely on the color of the paper for their appearance.

Aesred
Marble statue of Aesred, the ever-transforming female from James Branch Cabell's mythical land of Poictesme. Originally belonging to James Branch Cabell, this piece is now in Special Collections and Archives, James Branch Cabell Library.
The marble head was carved by Edmond R. Amateis from Greek marble that had been imported to Rome in the first century. Aesred was given to Cabell in 1927 and remained at the Cabell home on Monument Avenue until the 1970s when it was given to James Branch Cabell Library. Mrs. Cabell reported to the library the Mr. Cabell was very fond of this piece.
