I also have the first ever appearance in marvel comics of The Punisher but it is in horrible condition.Amazing Spider-Man #129? Yeah, it ain't worth anything. I'll gladly take it off your hands. 😆
Quote from: þerxh Sant-Enogat on August 03, 2023, 01:19:14 AMHas the following album now been published in english ?As far as I can tell, it has not yet been published in English. Looks interesting, tho.
For me one of the best mainstream album those latter years

Which album would you advise ?
One day we will be more than 2 in the club, and we'll organise the Talossan Comics Tournament ;-)

Quote from: þerxh Sant-Enogat on July 20, 2023, 06:11:50 PMI'd also like to add that even libraries in smaller towns like where I live are catching on. Our local library has two full bookcases devoted to comics/graphic novels. For years I've been digging thru back issue boxes at the local comics store, trying to complete my run of Neil Gaiman's "Sandman". Found out that my local library has the full series (in trade paperback format.)Quote from: Iason Taiwos on July 20, 2023, 03:40:56 PM(I felt the need to point this out because I am an obsessed comic book nerd.)So am I ! Hugo Pratt is one of my favourite authors of course.. I'm lucky enough to have a public library nearby from which I borrow every week half a dozen comics or graphic novels, there are so many good albums to discover
Quote from: þerxh Sant-Enogat on July 20, 2023, 06:11:50 PMI was introduced to Hugo Pratt via a reprint series in English by NBM Publications in the late nineties, of the "Ballad of the Salt Sea" storyline. I thought it was absolutely fantastic. This kind of stuff isn't that easy to find in the United States. A lot of my exposure to European comics was from reading the magazine "Heavy Metal". Introduced me to people like Moebius, Guido Crepax, Milo Manara.(Overjoyed to find another comic nerd in Talossa...I started a club in Talossa for comic book aficionados, but no one joined...you are more than welcome to join!)Quote from: Iason Taiwos on July 20, 2023, 03:40:56 PM(I felt the need to point this out because I am an obsessed comic book nerd.)So am I !

Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on July 20, 2023, 11:29:46 AMAsterix is part of your research!And one of the Corto Maltese books, another excellent comic series (by the late, great Hugo Pratt.) (I felt the need to point this out because I am an obsessed comic book nerd.)
Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on June 20, 2023, 07:41:39 PMI got my flag off eBay, it apparently came from some print-on-demand firm in China. I can't remember what I paid for it...maybe $12?...but it's not bad. However, when I type in a search for "Talossa flag" now, the only results are for refrigerator magnets (two results, for Kingdom and Republic flag magnets.)Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on June 04, 2023, 08:10:52 PMTurns out that the Sac and Fox Nation use an identical flag design to ours, and I'm sorry to say that there are flag listings that beat ours in price very easily. If you don't have one still, this might be an opportunity: https://www.amazon.com/AZ-FLAG-Nation-Flag-Pole/dp/B076X3H7VNI must reluctantly report that the flag is a perfect flag for Talossa, double-sided and durable. I recommend it.
