panellogy 527 - fave comics of 2023#7/8: new editions of older comics, my top ten

[@matorkonj-8449]

Karl May was very popular in the former Yugoslavia. Bouth my parents and grandparents enjoyed reading his books... I still have some old editions on my shelves.

Winnetou movies were also popular in Yugoslavia, as they were co-produced with Jadran Film and filmed in Croatia, with many locals in supporting roles. The author of the comic book adaptation, Walter Neugebauer, was also from Croatia. Serbian artist Aleksandar Hecl did a different adaptation. Here's hoping we'll see it reprinted some day.

Uuh!😯That Minimen art looks like a carbon copy of Franquin. The bubble-looking air crafts remind me of the very similar looking submarines in one of the Franquin/Roba Spirou story. Thanks for showing this! I have ambitious plan of reading all Spirous in chronological order(starting from Franquin-era) this year. I saw Franka during my trip to Denmark. Got interested but didn't buy it and now regret that. I've learnt that we think alike about comics of this style.

The wrong guy recommended Franka decades ago to me... and idiot me thought, hey that guy is (a bit) stupid, can't be that good if he likes it 😜🤣.

Vagabund der Unendlichkeit Band 1 habe ich mir aufgrund der Erwähnung mal gekauft. Ich gucke, ob die Geschichte mir gefällt und sehe dann weiter. Sieht zumindest sehr interessant aus

Is the 'artist' that did the cover of that Proof That The Devil Loves You 12? Come on. Tits aside, that's just garbage art.

beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder.

I thought it was a killer cover design-far better than the initial preview-but also a spoiler (as it's taken from the title story), and I have mixed feelings about that. Much of this story was inked with a brush, but Gilbert used a ‘dead’ line on Fritz to try to set her apart in some way. That look would become more and more a default approach for him as the years passed. The title story dates back to 2012's Love and Rockets New Stories 5, a really great issue, IMO, that provides context you won't find in this new release.
