Comment on Buck Danny – lovely aircraft, shame about the story. by Andy

For sure the Night of the Serpent is not one of the best Buck Danny adventures so far published.
The Cinebook should have start the publication of the Buck Danny stories translate in English with other much more better adventures of the same serie.
The Buck Danny saga starts during the WWII and than goes through the 50s, 60s, 70s till today for this reason mostly of the story of this serie mantain the typic old fashion comic strip style of the 50s.
Of course like it also happed in the James Bond movies the main characters of this serie sometimes are involved in situation out of the logical reality (they fly any kind of airctafts both in the US NAVY and USAF and they also partecipate to Intelligence or Specail Force operations, they never aged through the times etc..) But It is insignificant to claim a logical coherence with the real situations in such kind of comics or movies.
This serie is mainly created for the Aviation enthusiast readers and I found positive that finally some publisher like the Cinebook strat to translate it also in English. We have to tanks that the Europena comics production continue to print the “old fashion style” comics and it is not only limitated to the modern stravagant and exagerate Super heroes with their absurd costumes and their pure utra-fantasy world.
I really hope that Cinebook publisher will continue to print the other Buck Danny stories expecially the old original ones created by Jean Michel Charlier .

Comment on Pictures that tick by Kenny

there is a new 14 pages by Dave in the Dylan book that just came out from Norton (it was originally French so i’m guessing this is from a year or so ago). Actually pretty good interpretation – and it’s very non linear of Dylan’s sprawling masterful ‘Desolation row’ – worth a look.
