Is/was Durango available in English?
Swolfs is a spaghetti western fan, and it shows. Lots of references to the genre; faces, characters, setups etc.
Recommended! I have most of them. They also helped me write my screenplay in terms of visuals.
This is it ?
Looks awesome lol
Is it in English ?
Yep, this is one. It looks good on a first glance, or it seems to look good. But it’s empty. And stiff. And boring.
Don’t know if there was ever an English edition. Search for it in the net.
That looks great, cheers dude, am trying to get some Comanche , but it’s hard to get !!!
Any Idea ?
Comanche looks fantastic - the art in particular reminds me of Colin Wilson.
Colin Wilson was closer to Giraud. Naturally, as he worked on a Blueberry spin-off containing some further civil war adventures.
But I don’t know what else Wilson did.

No, I only read them in German.

He did a lot of work in England for the science fiction anthology 2000 A.D., working mainly on Judge Dredd and Rogue Trooper.
While we are talking about 2000ADs Rogue Trooper
An other recommend , and in my opinion Rogue’s best story
WAR MACHINE
Yes, the Dave Gibbons-penned story (but not drawn by him) is very good, although it was followed by a long, long run of stories that were nowhere near as good. I also have a great affection for the early Rogue Trooper stories, written by Gerry Finlay-Day and drawn by the likes of Gibbons, Wilson, Cam Kennedy and Brett Ewins. Another good 2000 A.D. war story is Bad Company (at least the first two books), by Pete Milligan (although initially developed by Alan Moore) and art by Jim McCarthy and Brett Ewins.
Got the first trade of Bad Company myself awhile back, I found with reaching middle age that I have being going back buying old 2000AD stories/characters in trade, and I must admit , a lot of them Still stand up really well today…
This story below without spoiling it , is very much like a western
Some neat twists also, well worth picking up is u like your westerns, like Garth Ennis’s Just a Pilgrim, or the other 2000AD character Missionary Man
Ah, The Dead Man; I have very fond memories of reading that. The art by Jim Ridgeway is fantastic.

If you talk for Durango I agree.Only one story translated in Greece and was a rip-off from ‘‘The Great Silence’’.Even the bad guy was as Kinsky’s twin brother.To be honest maybe it was one of the first story arcs and the creators were inexperienced.Maybe the script was better from issue to issue.
I have 8 Durango’s and I must say I don’t agree. Sure, storywise quite derivative, but nicely stylized. They keep me entertained throughout. Kinski is in there, yes. Milian too. Haven’t read that one yet.
As I said I have read only one issue.I told about that:
Actually I like the artwork very much and as you said the most important is to be entertaining.
The issues you own are in english?

Latest Tardi released in english: Goddamn this War!
-Another book about WWI from Tardi, this time written by Jean-Pierre Verney. It follows chronologically the events of war from one soldiers point of view. Book starts in bright colours but soon the colours change to bleak grey shades. And the story is equally bleak, not a very engaging story but more like a calm documentary of the terrible events that happened. Artwork is stunning as you’d expect from Tardi whom I think is the greatest comic book artist alive.

Can anybody recommend western comic/graphic novel that is in the vein of Leone/Peckinpah/Eastwood anti-westerns? Most of the western comics I’ve read are either more in the style of (literary and metaphorically) black and white classic westerns, or they’re just cheap pulp, I’m looking for something more layered, like the movies from the mentioned authors.
