In illustrations of Galactus in If This Be Doomsday, Kirby draws his anatomy superior to the opposing characters; his structure takes the entire space of a singular panel, revealing his ligaments as abnormally elongated and muscled. Kirby portrays the definition in his figure to cause his muscles to protrude twice the amount of size of one member of the Fantastic Four, covering the entire body of an opposing figure in the same panel. Additionally, the artists draw Galactus larger than the opposing characters in this comic to illustrate the massive advantage his figure produces compared to the heroic figures in the human world. Specifically in the panels when Ben engages in a battle with Galactus, his head is drawn twice the size of Ben’s body, where in conjunction with his width, is thrice the size of Ben’s singular hand. Within this battle, Ben’s height only reaches the hip of Galactus’ towering figure, conveying to the reader that he is twice as tall as a singular member of the Fantastic Four. His titan figure, depicted in staggering proportions, becomes a reflection of his larger than life power against the human world. This power allows Galactus to drain the entire human world of its life-energies, effectively exterminating mankind. The artists create a parallel between Galactus’ figure and powers to reflect to the reader the large …show more content…
In If This Be Doomsday Stan Lee depicts Master’s with the inability to witness the intruder in her home, causing her to become dependent on her sense of touch to identify her invader. By using physical contact, Master’s raises her hands to the face of her intruder, exclaiming: “Your face! Never have I sensed such unimaginable loneliness in a living being!” (8). Immediately, Masters identifies Silver Surfer as a “living being” by operating her heightened sense of touch as a tool to uncover an “unimaginable loneliness” displayed amongst his features. Visibly by the illustrator’s drawings, Silver Surfer is indicative of a non-human, depicted as a “Strange cosmic creature” (7). The reader becomes aware of this classification largely due to how it appears in the course of the reading – a body completely coated in a peculiar silver colour- and how it surfaces to the fore of Master’s home: on a sliver surfer board that enables him to transport by flying. However, Masters physical inability to see warrants her identification of the creature as a “living being” for it resembles components similar to hers: a face including a nose and eyes. Once Masters arrives at the conclusion that the Silver Surfer appears to be suffering

    Between January 7, 1832 and May 4, 1833, William Lloyd Garrison's newspaper, The Liberator, published six articles by abolitionist and black nationalist Maria W. Stewart.1 In these articles, Stewart spoke in two seemingly contradictory registers as she described God's interactions with humanity. On the one hand, she portrayed a gentle God who directed his angels to carry oppressed individuals "into Abraham's bosom [where] they shall be comforted" ("Address: Delivered before" 66); on the other hand, she warned sinners-specifically white American sinners-of a wrathful and violent God who was on the verge of sending "horror and devastation" to the world ("Address, Delivered in"). While these two images may seem paradoxical to contemporary readers,…

    The study of Native American history, culture and customs indicates what has made Americans diverse, but also what makes us the same. Native involvement in the Americas is set apart by coercive and once in a while willing endeavors at assimilation into standard European American society. Starting with missions and paving the way to governmentally controlled schools the point was to instruct Native people so they could return to their communities and encourage the acclimatization process. Overall survival of indigenous stories and lifestyles that oppose colonization form a part Native identities through the despotism of European ideals. “This Is History” by Beth Brant (Mohawk) was one of the readings that was most impactful to me.…

    The Scythians were a group of horse-riding nomadic pastoralists, from ancient Iranian background, who lived over the vast area of modern day Russia, Ukraine and Central Asia, which was until medieval times known as Scythia.

Evidence for this comes from her description of a woman found in 1884 by Bobrinsky, on the left bank of the River Tiasmin. This body has been reinvestigated by Professor Renate Rolle, an expert archaeologist in Scythian communities.…
