CortoMaltese:
Happy to be here. I am a 55 y/o comics lover. Yes, to me McCay was the best! Pratt, the second...
Now excuse me... I will start reading...  ;D

Yoc:
And lots to read here too.
Enjoy your stay CM.

Last year in Paris, CM, I picked up a copy of the VERY FIRST Corto Maltese in Sgt. Kirk #1 and I only bought it because it had a story by Arturo Del Castillo. I heard Hugo Pratt give a lecture in Paris in 1973! Unfortunately, I didn't know any French (still basically don't) and so I didn't understand anything he said.

I never met McCay, but I live two miles from The Sunday Press!

Once more I must point out that newspaper comics are not the same as comic books. Nobody cares about that but me...

Welcome.

Peace, Jim (|:{>

Hi, CortoMaltese - named after one of my all time favourite comic characters.  Great stuff.

JVJ, actually, I also care.  We've had this chat previously and I don't want to wind you up, it's simply that we'll just have to agree to differ. Perhaps it is a cultural background effect with me but, if it is, it's the same for millions of strip/comic readers all over Europe who were used to weekly anthologies.  Divergent ways of producing comics entertainment.
My solution to this interesting difference, and I bow to your knowledge and experience in both comics and dining, is, a glass or three of decent wine and a good dinner - what we're about to have.
Chin up, it's the stuff on the page that's important.

John C:
Me, I'm sort of in the middle, but I think that about most media.  Like, you can write a great movie script and make it passable as a novel, comic book, radio serial, or video game, but doing so loses some of the potential of both in the translation.  A closer analogy might be movies with and without sound.  You could write the same script for both, but one is probably going to be a better match, whereas you could write a great script for either.

That may not be what Jim means, but my thinking is that the techniques overlap, but a master of either form isn't necessarily going to be any good at the other.
