"Robert Silverberg's Belzagor", from the Humanoid's bundle was nice, too: the preface have him explaining how he didn't liked the work (and it was the very first time he didn't, at his owns), despite having it nominated for the Locus (in 1971), how his perspective had changed during time, or how he came to even prefer it over others; and how he liked the comic version made several years after.
The book has one artist for the first part and another for the sequel, while the colorist is the same. He didn't liked it because wanted to mean at colonialism, instead it came out something else, that has its own mood. I didn't liked the main character, btw. (Ps: the original cover for the novel was made by Franzetta: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Downward_to_the_Earth). "Arkadi and the Lost Titan", by Caza, seemed to take 20 years to complete, from chapter 6 as technology went available, Caza used digital processing for some effects, and the lettering. The story's plot is awesome, the author took a path between the old myths (Greece, specially) and his valuing for the american's heroes that were showing out by those times. Adding a visual masterpiece, Orpheous' poems, north myths behaviours on a sci-fi epic narrative. Scrumptious. https://davidleesummers.wordpress.co...he-lost-titan/ |
