Seminar paper from the year 2015 in the subject Literature - Modern Literature, grade: 2,3, RWTH Aachen University (Anglistik), course: Translation Studies, language: English, abstract: Comics are texts organised into sequential units, graphically separated from each other (Saraceni 2003: 5) and employ [...] both words and pictures (ibid.). First, American comics were translated and pirated versions of works done by Rodolphe Töpffer, a Swiss illustrator (cf. Duncan, Smith 2009: 25). In 1895, Richard F. Outcault published funny illustrations in the Sunday edition of Pulitzers New York World, focusing on the New York Slums (cf. Schröder 1982: 12). Hogans Alley soon became a popular weekly series featuring a little boy as the protagonist: The Yellow Kid, named after the accidentally new color of its nightgown (cf. ibid.).

The Yellow Kid polarized the newspaper audience: on the one hand, people started anti-comic campaigns; on the other hand, it became a huge success for Pulitzer (cf. Schröder 1982: 12-13).
