Title: Greetings from France
Post by: madscan on August 26, 2015, 09:35:44 AM

I also posted this on the first topic. Sorry !
I have to get used to this site  ;D

I'm 57 since a few days. I love comics and of course, am more a european comics reader as I am French.
I started writing about comics since a few years. I did a lot of interviews of french authors in the 90' (I had the chance to do one of Bill Sienckiewicz).
I read a lot and am very interested in the evolution of comics, bande dessinée and mangas and the interactions between the 3 continents.
I just finished writing an article about Gustave Verbeck for the French Museum of Comics (CNBDI). It should be online next month.
I love all kind of comics as long as they are quality ones (very subjectiv I know ;)

Welcome!

While DCM is English-centric, everybody, from wherever, is welcome. Join the fun. Ask questions. Start relevant new topics. Or just enjoy.

Willkommen, Bienvenue, Welcome!

Being a comics journalist myself, I’d love to see links to your articles online. I can try and get a Google translation, because you write in French, right?
I am German and run a German website about pre-code horror comics (http://fifties-horror.de/) which spawned English spin-off-sites about certain companies, though.
I also contribute to a German web magazine about comics in general, where I wrote about Adolf Hitler as a comic book character, for example, http://www.comicoskop.com/aufmacher-1/

Or about a possible precursor of French national treasure ASTERIX
http://www.comicoskop.com/aufmacher-1/aufmacher-m%C3%A4rz-2015-asterix-in-new-york/

And I need the help of an Asterix expert to solve more of that mystery. Assuming all French people are Asterix experts, let me ask a simple question (to which I do not know the answer):
What have Goscinny and Uderzo told about the origins and inspirations for their creation ASTERIX?
They must have been asked about it and they must have told some stories...

Sorry for cornering you this way, but I think it’s fun to speculate about those things. Appreciate if you take your time and study the Asterix mystery, but no pressure. I am in no way offended if you don’t get back to me. Just taking my chance here to learn more!

All the best from Cologne: Tillmann alias tilliban.
