dimanche 11 mai 2008 à 12:49 Citation de Pearl of Light :
(Sorry for all the mistakes.. If someone wants to help me to improve, feel free to do it) My favourite album is "L'Astrologue de Bruges" (album number 20). The story itself is very interesting : the story with the "devil" and the desire for the humans to become immortal was a really good idea.. In a certain way, it's still what we are looking for! And the fact that the story takes place during the Middle Ages emphasizes the magical aspect of the story.. I've never been to Bruges but this album gave me a real envy to visit this city because the drawings are as usual so great.. It was as if I were in the city =) I also found amazing the old dresses : I guess that all the little girls wanted to get one at least one day in their childhood.. well, it was my case And how could I forget all the romantic feelings in this album with Mieke and Pol!? (I hope it is understandable..)
Pear of light is my friend ! We think the same
I had the chance to visit Bruges two yars ago.
each time that i open my book. something magic happen. Monya an all our friends arrive in my house with the time machine. And all together we go back to see Mieke friends in the middle age.
I would like to go back to Bruges. I miss to touch the old walls and observe the swans.

mercredi 21 mai 2008 à 19:48 The album I like best? Well, it depends on WHY I like the album.
The 3 suns of Vinea is just grand. The purpose here is to save a world, nothing less! Impressive!
If I like an album for the pure beauty of the images, my preference goes to "La jonque céleste". (NO! I WON'T translate that by "The celestial junk!" ) The long files of people climbing in the night with the chinese lanterns is enchanting, magical. (In French, I would say "féérique", like in fairy tales.)
In the next album, "La pagode des brumes", I like the untamed, yet always thuthfull personnality of Liao.
I found "La proie et l'ombre" an excellent enigma, almost in the class of Agatha Christie. The detail of the moving panel (the key to the understanding) had escaped me completely. It is only when I read the album for the second time that I noticed it. Many readings later, I noticed that Roger had skilfully hidden a rather simple plot behind all these esoteric beliefs that the two criminals used to drive Cecilia and Mac Nab crazy.
And I ALWAYS appreciate those albums where we meet Khâny! Not only for her beauty (which is remarquable!) but also, how I would appreciate having a friend like her! I find her maturity, her calm even in tense situations impressive.

dimanche 16 novembre 2008 à 20:30 I would be hard-pressed to select a single album that I like most, but after some consideration, I would choose "Les trois Soleils de Vinéa" as my personal favourite. It has one of the most interesting stories, and some very unique ideas, like a planet that has one side permanentely turned to it's suns (like Mercury has), and still have an habitable zone (not unlike earth). Also the way the adventurers travel to the M33-Galaxy is very innovative.
Well, and because it has one of my favourite characters in it: Khâny is still one of the most interesting "fictional characters", together with "Mr. Spock" and "Captain Janeway" from Star Trek and "Han Solo" from Star Wars. (Yes, I'm big fan of Science Fiction). Khâny and the Vinéans appeal to me because at the moment of the first album (1971: Le trio de l'étrange) I was developing a serious interest in "good comics" and Fantastic literature. The Vinéans fitted perfectely in this, because they were living in an unique place (beneath the earth) with very high-tech equipment.
While the second album about the Vinéans was a great improvement, the third was really great: High-tech machines, a wonderful 'alien' planet and Yoko and Khâny in a great adventure. Live Long and Prosper |
