The vague talk of a Corto Maltese show has me hopeful they’ll be reprinted soon. I also really hope Ernie Pike gets the same treatment, because like most Pratt / Oesterheld, it’s only available in German or Spanish despite being described by pretty much everyone as a seminal antiwar comic and generally foundational in the world of 20th century adventure stories that aren’t shockingly racist

If you want to have a physical copy (but in spanish, then you can read the comic online...some other way), try Ebay for "Biblioteca clarín del comic). They're small trades published by argentinian newspaper Clarin, and among the comics collected, ther's Eternauta (1 AND 2, which is hella hard to find), Ernie Pike, Corto Maltese, etc. You could also search for "Cofre Corto Maltese", a colection from a few years ago of cheap, small re-prints of all the Pratt Corto comics. Both of these shouldn't cost and arm and a leg.

Is IDW/Eurocomics not printing Corto Maltese anymore?

Are they printing the new Corto comics by Juan Diaz Canales (Blacksad) and Rubén Pellejero?

Not to get too gallows humor, but announcing his death a month late seems way too on the nose.

He was used to being called the late Jason Pierson.

I hate when new editions of old material get recolored. They're always dogshit.

All the Corto Maltese talk made me realize I'm missing a bunch as well...and also some Asterix...and some Mampato...and Valentina and...
Oh god I need to win the lottery.

There’s a new publisher on the horizon.

My initial reaction was old man yells at cloud, I HATE names like that. Taking out vowels isn’t clever. Stop it.

Superman is jacked because comic artist don't draw anything else and comic readers expect superheroes to be jacked, unless it's a comedy series.

Anyway if nothing else it’s a nice little catalogue of old school Toho kaiju and fun to see where he employs different interpretations of kaiju: he depicts Mechagodzilla as a terrestrial superweapon (I think the original was an evil robot from space) which I’d only seen in the weird anime otherwise, but the protagonist witnesses the original oxygen destroyer scene from the first movie .

That's the way it's been in the movies as well. At first Mechagodzilla is a monster from space, but then the government/earth defense apparatus makes their own Mechagodzilla.

Old comic ads were filled with trash, but I'll be damned if they didn't look neat.

Friend of mine found a pile of loose Finder issues at a comic shop. They have lots of art and lore that never made it into the Library editions.





Style sheets for characters





Spreads on the inside covers





Fanart



Furry fanart



Some of it I can understand not including in the collected editions. Somebody commissioned a marriage proposal in the series' original run, which is maybe too personal to put in the trade.



The guy said he'd compile all the photos into a big album, so I'll post that when it's done.

Wow, this is really cool to see! I've only read Finder in the collected editions, so I've never seen most of these.
