Yeah, I did a couple of lists for IMDB and it appears either on my fantasy movie one, as an early film or my pulp one (I think the fantasy list).

By the by, if anyone has an interest in pulp fiction and has not read the Tales of the Shadowmen series of anthologies, from Black Coat Books (the people behind the Cool French Comics site and The French Wold Newton universe; Randy & Jean-Marc Lofficier); I highly recommend them, as they are filled with characters from that era of French literature and mix in others from literature and media around the world, including L'Atlantide.   They even get into some modern things, like a meeting and brief fling between Barbarella and Captain James T Kirk or a suggestion that Thomas Wayne was not the father of Bruce, but another man, to whom Martha Wayne gave a girasol ring, as a token of love (a person who meets the cloaked French avenger, Judex, who investigates the disappearance of the ring).  Imagine Agatha Christie's detective Hercule Poirot matching his "little grey cells" against the "massive brain" of Bertie Wooster's man-servant, Jeeves?  How about Fantomas taking a dim view of some of the masked villains who followed in his footsteps or a meeting between Kato, who creates a thousand paper cranes for the dead of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and Madame Atomos, who has vowed an evil revenge on the United States, for the bombing?  How about a swanky party that is visited by everyone in the espionage world, including Madame Atomos, who leaves in a huff, when Modesty Blaise turns up, wearing the same Paco Raban gown?  A meeting between a certain Gaul with a big nose and Tros of Samothrace, who both hate the Romans?  Travel time and space with Dr Omega, long before a certain refugee from Gallifrey.  Meet the Angels of Musik, three beautiful agents of an unseen boss, named Erik, but called the Phantom of the Opera.  See them return, with new members, to thwart the plans of Charles Foster Kane and his casino, which he refers to as his Euro-Xanadu.

Black Coat Books also reprints some of the original novels that inspired the stories in their anthologies, though some have been tweaked by the Lofficier's to bring them in line with other characters, for whom they act as a surrogate, due to rights, such as Dr Francis Arden, who stands in for a Doc of a rather Bronze pallor.

Really good stuff.

Bit of a draught (personal opinion) on European comics right now, but the next few months should be good:
Nevada #2 (Wilson/Pecau),
Ythaq #17 (Arleston) and
Ekho #10 (Arleston).
Spirou spin-off Supergroom #2 (which I probably won't get, I didn't like #1).
Largo Winch #23 (maybe gonna get it, I have skipped the Largo Winch spin-off, but the main series has still been interesting enough to me.),
Spirou by Emile Bravo #3 (definitely) ,
Blacksad #6 (Definitely definitely!) and
Franka #25 (Definitely defintiely again. Subject this time is going to be a sci-fi movie from the 30s, so retro-futurism designs to be expected)

Have you seen my review on Les Indes Fourbes/O burlão nas Índias a few pages ago? It's also done by Juanjo Guarnido. Less Crime Noir, but more semi-historical this time, but still great.

Continuing to slowly work my way through the large-format Croatian comics reprint magazine Strip revija; I mentioned some highlights from the first issue a few weeks ago, and I just got through the second issue today:


This one contains a bunch of stories that originally appeared in the 1960s in a beloved (and still fondly remembered) weekly youth/entertainment magazine called Plavi vjesnik (Blue Herald), and it highlights some of the artists who first became popular then and remain legendary to this day, like Julio "Jules" Radilović, Žarko Beker and Borivoj "Bordo" Dovniković.
The cover feature, "Din Kol" is a Western comic that originally ran in 1964/65 and was drawn by Radilović. It tells the story of a Dinko Kolić, a young Croat show set off on a skiff from the Dalmatian coast to do some fishing. He gets caught in a freak storm, his skiff capsized, and then gets rescued somewhere in the middle of the Adriatic by an American merchant vessel. The skipper offers to let him off at their next stop, Gibraltar, but 'Din' (as everyone on board calls him; pronounced exactly like Dean) decides to stay on board and become a merchant sailor and so ends up in the ship's home port of Galveston a few years later.

However, the sailing vessel gets decommissioned to make way for the new-fangled steamships, so 'Din' is out of a job. After rescuing a damsel in distress from being assaulted by some masked reprobates, her father arranges for him to get a job on a wagon train managed by two of his associates. However, those guys end up being rather unsavory guys who illegally sell rifles and whisky to Native Americans, which 'Din' finds objectionable. He ends up having quite an adventure in Apache country.

It's a pretty solid but unremarkable story, but as you can see, the art is quite lovely. Radilović was quite prolific, by the way, and also did a lot of humor comics as well. Like this one:

Almost hard to believe it's the same artist. Like I said, he's considered a comics legend over here now, and a few years ago (2018), the local comics convention/show in Zagreb dedicated its main exhibition to him. Here's a photo of him from the opening:


As noted, one of the other artists highlighted in this issue is Žarko Beker, and again, I found it interesting that the editors chose two stories that show the contrast in his style. To wit, this one, a sort of colonialist adventure set in Africa in the late 1800s...

...and this humorous story set in the Middle Ages and starring a pint-sized knight...

Very reminiscent of Uderzo's style, I think.
Anyway, looking forward to reading the next issue...

Fantastic art Dizzy.
