Castle of Adelebsen, district of Göttingen, Lower Saxony
The town of Adelebsen was first mentioned in 990. The oldest surviving part of the castle is the tower, which was built in two phases: The first three levels were built between 1370 and 1380, the upper seven levels, of which six are preserved, were built between 1420 to 1440.
The castle was severely damaged in the Thirty Year War, but partially rebuilt from 1650 onwards.
Family von Adelebsen owned the castle from the early 13th century until 1957, when the last male member of the family, Georg Freiherr von Adelebsen, died without a legitimate heir. He established a foundation in 1947 with the purpose to preserve the castle as cultural heritage and transferred the ownership to the foundation. The foundation is currently led by a great-grandson of the last von Adelebsen.
For an issue with more characters than Logan’s got chest hairs, how does artist David Marquez get into individual minds without the clunky “Meanwhile” caption? How do we leap from a big scene featuring 9,000 gawking X-men and go super-personal …
… into the head of a wily thief who’s about to make the biggest decision of his life?
This post thinks through how Marquez creates a sense of a character’s subjectivity by paneling and composition—in Remy’s proposal scene. The 21st century has made us expert visual readers, and we pick up these cues unconsciously. My goal is to make those cues explicit, so it’s clear how much work we actually do when we read comics.
