Powered Descent posted:Flash Gordon Yes... Ha ha ha... YES! Anyways, I've threatened it long enough, so now here's the real thing! A re-run of my scans of Corto Maltese and Blueberry! (the latter having been translated into English from Swedish edition by yours truly!) Previously, I had done a M/W/F/S/S schedule, but I'm going to change things up a bit by no longer doing the thing I usually do, namely providing a jokey intro for each update - I think I've played that out for long enough. I will take the opportunity to state here at the beginning of the year to state that 1) The quality of these scans are questionable. I'm fine with this, because this hopefully will encourage folk to go buy these comics and enjoy the art proper as well as supporting the artists proper. 2) With Blueberry, I have sometimes adjusted the translation to be more accurate/less problematic than the original work. I gave my reasoning for that when I started the project, along with highlighting when I did it (this is also the major reason why I didn't try translated Buddy Longway - Blueberry has it's own problems re. exotification of Native American peoples, but the former was so much so it made me feel actively uncomfortable). Since I won't be doing the intros, I won't be pointing them out this time around - unless someone wants further clarification. So, enough with the words. Corto Maltese    Blueberry

Transmodiar posted:Modesty Blaise: In the Beginning Something I feel that should be mentioned (though I'm sure it may have been mentioned before) - Young Modesty going around with a nail-stiletto was something Peter O'Donnell witnessed a young girl going around with during his stint in WWII. It stuck with him, and effectively inspired him to create the character (going from half-remembered interviews from the collections).

BigglesSWE posted:Hoo boy, another year, another thread! You love to see it! Always good to see Ballard Street. Corto Maltese    Blueberry    I have learned a potentially horrifying thing - in me trying to see if I could get any of the newer, non-Hugo Pratt written Corto Maltese adventures in either English or Swedish (as far as I can tell, it's only in French or Italian, boo), there has been a... modern-day reboot with Corto as a main character; The Black Sea and The Queen of Babylon. I am almost too scared to try and look for them. Samovar fucked around with this message at 15:47 on Jan 2, 2024 |

Doomykins posted:I'm really grateful to get to read Corto and Blueberry from the start! They were always interesting but I was hesitant to read mid-story. I love the art and writing of Blueberry, it's a really enchanting setting. I'm glad you're getting the chance to start from the... start - they've always stuck with me for being (at least, imho) the apex of adventure-pulp - not that they are immune to critique because of that. I'm also enjoying Mexikid stories Anyway, an earlier-than-usual-update, why not? Corto Maltese (one strip spoiled for, uh, an unpleasant term)    Blueberry

I wouldn't mind opening it up to the floor, along with reasonings for them (I mean, that's what I did with some of my translations for Blueberry, too) Also yeah, sometimes if a person is sickly, like Sally is, they don't want dinner? It depends on what they are sick with? Corto Maltese    Blueberry

Y'know, I've found that often in cooking, one can reduce the amount of sugar in dishes by up to a half, and it still ends up tasting fine.

Kennel posted:Corto Maltese's driver got shot which led his car falling off a cliff, him saving the other passenger of the said car, an octopus attack, getting stuck in a giant clam and a shark attack. Yeah, when I posting that first time round I was reminded of that one section of Fantoma which had the villain repeatedly dunked on by the fauna of the jungle. Don't ask me what was going through Pratt's head with that.
