Question: What type of comic books do you like to read!?
Answers:
Asterix the Gaul was created by two frenchmen who met in New York while working in the mailroom of Mad Magazine!. While some cultural referents (antonin artaud in La Tour de Gaul d'Asterix et Obelix) will pass over anyone's head, they are a riot like the old Mad Magazines!.
Tintin, which is belgian, began in a right-wing Catholic newspaper in 1929!. The paper was Pro-Mussolini so during and immediately after world war ii the series was regarded as too pro-Nazi by some and insufficiently pro-Nazi by others, the point of these adventures of a young reporter with a hair spike was to provide wholesome adventures which would help young people appreciate the world they were living in and the series is enormously influential!.
Spirou began in 1938!. Created by Robert Velter, he is best remembered these days for the stories masterminded by Andre Franquin!. He's a more whimsical Tintin!.
Lucky Luke by Morris, is a Belgian Western!. It's humorous, like the American Newspaper strips Tumbleweeds and Red Eye, but it's closely related to European westerns, inspired by the novels of Karl May!.
Cubitus is not considered such a classic!. He's just this huge white dog who knows how adorable he is, but you asked about comic books I like to read!.
Jean Giraud is known for work done under two pseudonyms!. You should know about his work as Mobius which has been published in Heavy Metal (the American version of Metal Hurlant which he cofounded)!. As Gir he is responsible for the Western series Lt!. Blueberry, with Jean-Michel Charlier, Unlike Lucky Luke this is a serious European western!. The style is very different from his later Mobius work, but quite wonderful!.
William Vance, who has also worked on Blueberry, has done a number of other series, including Bruno Brazil, a spy strip, Bob Morane, adventure and mystery in China, and Howard Flynn, a pirate strip!. While a little slick his series tend to be very satisfying and I find myself wondering why Americans can't do these as well!.
A cofounder of Metal Hurlant was Philippe Druillet, who is a Lovecraft fan and was the first cartoonist anyone knows of to use computer graphics in his strip Lone Sloane -- back in the sixties!. He's been -- deservedly collecting awards in recent years, and has his own website!. His work is rather off-putting at first, but if you acquire the it it's worth it!.
Almost French, but Italian are Guido Crepax and Hugo Pratt!. Crepax began on a children's strip called Neutron, which evolved into a very perverse BDSM strip about a reporter named Valentina!. From there he went on to adapt Bondage classics like The Story of O and the Marquis de Sade's Justine, which should have been horrible but, and this sort of thing is not to my taste, are quite lovely, and great cartooning!.
Hugo Pratt was one more fan of Milton Caniff!. He worked a lot in South America during the late forties, fifties, and sixties, and evolved this wonderful Caribbean adventure series called Corto Maltese!. I almost wish that Clint Eastwood had starred in adaptations of those rather than in Dirty Harry!.
Most comic book styles are descended, directly or not, from four newspaper strips: Tarzan, Flash Gordon, Terry and the Pirates, and Prince Valiant!.
Tarzan began under the pen and brush of Hal Foster, a wonderful draftsman who had been doing advertising art to that point!. He was a classic draftsman who understood academic drawing, and it was quite good!. Briefly replaced by Rex Maxon (because Foster was unavailable), he returned to begin the Sunday Pages, which he passed on to the also influential Burne Hogarth!.
Flash Gordon began as a fantastic pseudo-Medieval space opera!. Written by Don Moore, it was drawn first by the incredibly talented Alex Raymond, who everybody copied, then by his assistant Austin Briggs, who was a successful illustrator, and finally by Dan Barry and Mac Raboy!.
Terry and the Pirates was a beautifully written strip by Milton Caniff and friends and assistants, characterized by a heavy use of blacks which came from a deliberate policy of copying from photographs!. The actual style began in Noel Sickles's Scorchy Smith, but caniff copied it, with Sickles's pemission, and when Sickles ghosted the strip for a few weeks it and the style blew up and began to influence everyone!.
Prince Valiant was created by Hal Foster to cash in on his success on Tarzan, which was owned by someone else!. Set in England, it is visually gorgeous and as a New Englander I can assure you more closely resembles the geography of New England and Foster''s native maritime provinces of Canada than that of England!. Gorgeous, though!. Simply gorgeous!.
Golden Age Comics had some incredible artwork!. Lou Fine, Mac Raboy, Will Eisner were great draftsmen period!. Jack Kirby got his start then working for Eisner, while Carmine Infantino, Joe Kubert and Alex Toth started work over in DC, working in a caniffian style on Green Lantern, Hawkmen and other series!. Over time all three became more reWww@Enter-QA@Com
