The Rise and Fall
Marilyn Monroe, Humphrey Bogart, and Laurence Olivier are three of the biggest names in the history of Hollywood, and they all have one thing in common: they emerged from Hollywood’s Golden Age. Between the 1910s and 1960s, Hollywood experienced an influx of experimental filmmaking - these were revolutionary years, filled with exceptional talent, new camera technology, and more freedom for scriptwriters. While the years of a thriving Hollywood industry seemed they would last forever, they did inevitably come to an end. This is the rise and fall of Hollywood’s Golden Age.

Why comic books are better than graphic novels

The concept behind graphic novel
The graphic novel is an emerging form of sequential art that combines the visual and textual storytelling techniques. The concept behind graphic novels is to tell intricate stories using images and words through a fusion of multiple genres that tell a story within a limited number of pages. It is a term coined to differentiate the more mature, complex, and nuanced works of comic artists, which are not intended for children's comic consumption. Graphic novels allow the artists to express their creativity and tackle social, political, and existential themes that are too taboo or too complex for the traditional comic book medium.

Though they also manage to have deeper meanings to us now as adults and make us think; 'Wow, the feels!'

Page to Screen: Upcoming Book Adaptations
During the 2010s, going into a bookstore or library was impossible without being greeted by a vast range of YA books in the fantasy/horror sections. As a teenager, I devoured many of these books. I got swept away by angst-ridden romances of the dark supernatural kind — vampires, werewolves, witches, angels, you name it, and I had probably read it, heard of it or owned a copy at one point.
