Analysis

Abstract

An online database system is described into which data can be entered about the sample of 69 texts featuring Doctor Doom. The data collected is based on the structure of the unified catalogue of transmedia character components. This data is then analysed in terms of the subsets of components, i.e. those relating to the character, their storyworld, their behaviour within that storyworld and finally the real-world authors of the texts. For each grouping the components are analysed by media type and time period.
