Actually, Blake is more conspicuous by his absence in this story, rather like Holmes in The Hound of the Baskerville's , so most of the action is carried by Professor Mortimer, who does a pretty good job of it.

François Pierlot Frantseseko lektorea / Lector de francés Laburpena Komikien historia Suitzan hasi zen 1827an, Rodolphe Töpffer-ek “litera- tura iruditan” deiturikoa sortu zuenean. Printzipioa sinplea da: istorio bat kontatzen du marrazki bidez, eta istorioa azaltzeko testuak eransten ditu. Hogei urte geroago, Wilhelm Bush alemaniarrak Max und Moritz sortu zuen, marrazkietan dinamismo handia zuen umorezko komikia. Gero, batez ere egunkarietan agertzen hasi ziren komikiak. Eguneroko prentsak ere gero eta arrakasta handiagoa zuenez, komikiak Europa osora za- baldu ziren. Egunkarientzat oso garrantzitsua zen komiki onak izatea, irakur- le asko erakartzen zituztelako. Erresuma Batuan ere arrakasta izan zuten ko- mikiek. AEBtik, bestalde, koloretako argitalpenak iristen hasi ziren, testuen ordez bunbuiloak zituztenak. Belgikan, 1929an hasi ziren komikiak argitaratzen, Le petit vingtième haurrentzako egunkarian. Apaiz oso kontserbadore bat zen erredakzioburua, eta umeei komunisten alderako gorrotoa barneratzeko pertsonaia asmatzeko eskatu zion Hergé marrazkilari gazteari. Horrela sortu zen Tintin. Lehenengo aleak Tintin sobieten herrialdean zuen izenburua. Hergék bere pertsonaiaren «gobernua» hartu baino lehen, ideologiaz beteriko beste bi abentura ere izan ziren (Tintin Kongon eta Tintin Amerikan). Tintinekin hasitako goraldiaren ondoren, beste marrazki-aldizkari bel- gikar batzuk sortu ziren; besteak beste, Bravo! agerkaria. Komiki belgikarrak 1940ko hamarkadatik aurrera nagusitu ziren mundu frantsestunean, bi agerkari zirela bitarte: Le Journal Tintin eta Le Journal de Spirou, hurrenez hurren, Hergé eta Franquin marrazkilari zirela. Bi astekariek talentu gazteak hartu zituzten, aukera bat emateko. Komikien ibilbidea finka- tu zuten, klasizismo mota bat ezarrita. Journal de Spirou izenekoa 1938an sortu zuen Dupuis argitaletxeak, eta umorea landu zuen. Pertsonaiek oso jatorrak dirudite, grafismo biribilari esker (horregatik aipatzen da “sudur lodiaren” estiloa).

  • Ligne-Claire.Pdf
    neuviemeart2.0 > dictionnaire esthétique et thématique de la bande dessinée > ligne claire ligne claire par Thierry Groensteen [Novembre 2013] Baptisée en 1977 par Joost Swarte à la faveur du catalogue d’une exposition présentée à Rotterdam, la klare lijn − en français : ligne claire – désigne, au sens le plus restrictif, le style d’Hergé, et, dans son acception la plus large, une mouvance aux contours assez flous regroupant de nombreux artistes de bande dessinée et illustrateurs animés par un même souci d’épure, de lisibilité, une même confiance dans le cerne, le trait net et la couleur en aplat. La bande dessinée a toujours privilégié le dessin au trait, qui a l’avantage d’être rapide d’exécution et de se prêter parfaitement aux exigences de la reproduction, quel que soit le support. Dans le Livre Troisième de son traité Réflexions et menus propos d’un peintre genevois, Rodolphe Töpffer exprimait déjà « la prééminence du trait sur les deux autres moyens, le relief et la couleur, quant à ce qui caractérise l’imitation ». À lui seul, en se concentrant sur le contour, « il représente l’objet d’une façon suffisante, sinon complète ». Des trois moyens d’imitation, le trait est celui « qui dit le plus rapidement les choses les plus claires à notre intelligence, et qui rappelle le plus spontanément les objets ». Cela vient − précisera Töpffer dans l’Essai de physiognomonie (1848) − « de ce qu’il ne donne de l’objet que ses caractères essentiels, en supprimant ceux qui sont accessoires » (matières, modelés, demi-tons, détails, contrastes dus à l’éclairage, etc.).

It was one of the first series to appear in the Franco-Belgian comics magazine Tintin inand was subsequently published in book form by Les Editions du Lombard.

FINE SERIES ENTRYBy SCOTT W SCHUMACKOne of the best things about this long running series is the way it wanders between realism, pure fantasy, and science fiction-tinged stories. The art remains beautiful and the book leaves you waiting for the next chapter. In their island fortress, Kriss and Shaigan still reign over their band of pirates and raiders. But Shaigan is beginning to have doubts, and when a prisoner who knew him calls him Thorgal, the child of the stars begs the gods of Asgard to give him back his name and his destiny. In return, the gods require that Thorgal travel to the kingdom of giants and steal from their ruler... and then Thorgal will be Thorgal again. He’s a child of the stars, beloved of the gods and touched by destiny, but also a reluctant hero, a simple man with simple dreams. Thorgal: an extraordinary Viking saga with strong elements of science fiction, by one of the master scriptwriters of Franco-Belgian comics. Already 13 volumes available from Cinebook!

April, 2020. 1 Dept. of English, RNLKWC--SEM- IV-- HCC10-- Tintin in Tibet—Part 1(SUPROMIT MAITI) Tintin in Tibet Tintin, the young, dashing and flamboyant Belgian reporter has been a familiar figure across the globe since decades now. With his passion for unveiling the truth, Tintin has become a global sensation for his intense desire to solve mysteries, his love for adventure, his unscathed honesty and his love for his friends and companions. Conceived as a character drawn to entice a readership comprising primarily of children, Tintin and his escapades charmed the young-adult and the adult readers too. A childhood hero for many, Tintin, through his numerous adventures, had travelled to places around the world, thus exposing the readers to a varied range of cultures and rituals that makes the narratives all the more interesting. Immensely favoured by readers of all age, it was only a matter of time that Tintin’s antics would feature prominently in any course of popular literature. And here we are, in a post-colonial country, reading Tintin in Tibet in a class of under-graduate students, and I guess, enjoying it? Meet Herge, the creator! The Belgian cartoonist Georges Prosper Remi won accolades under his pen name Herge, and one could wonder whether Herge had any idea that his pen name would go on to be immortalized when he used it to claim his comics.

  • Traumatic Analepsis and Ligne Claire in GB Tran's
    Earle, H E H 2014 Traumatic Analepsis and Ligne Claire in GB Tran’s THE COMICS GRID Vietnamerica. The Comics Grid: Journal of Comics Scholarship, 4(1): 9, Journal of comics scholarship pp. 1-4, DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5334/cg.at RESEARCH Traumatic Analepsis and Ligne Claire in GB Tran’s Vietnamerica Harriet E H Earle* The use of analepsis in representations of traumatic experience is not a new phenomenon in traumatic art in general or comics in particular. However, in GB Tran’s family narrative of the Vietnam War, Vietnamerica (2011), this trope is used in a particular fashion. While discussing his father’s imprisonment at the hands of the Vietnamese Government, Tran uses heavy black art before ‘flashing back’ into his father’s past, all of which is drawn in a style highly reminiscent of Ligne Claire. The high contrast of Tran’s two artistic styles is especially interesting when we consider that he is trying to recreate a traumatic experience told in analepsis and also when we remember the French occupation of Vietnam and, invariably, the influence of French art on Tran’s father. Why does Tran use this iconic style for the flashback? How does this shift in style affect the narrative? How does it assist in the representation of the traumatic experience within the text? Keywords: Comics; Vietnam War; Trauma; Freud; GB Tran GB Tran’s family graphic narrative Vietnamerica (2011) (Miller 2007: 18).
