Je trouve ca dommange qu'il y ait aucun fandom pour Largo Winch, parce que j'aime beaucoup la manière dont il dessine les hommes. Il y a quelquechose de si bisexuel dans les mouvement de leurs chemises ouvertes... (aussi j'ai l'impression que Largo et Simon ont des mullet o/ )

Je ne le connais pas... il y a une traduction en anglais, donc peut-être que je vais le lire?

Mais tu a raison, c'est certainement un look bisexual.

Cold winter: Thorgal

THORGAL

Category: French BD

Thirty years before the year 1000, a group of Vikings lost at sea during a nasty thunderstorm found a baby in a strange little boat, and deciding he was a gift of the gods present at the time they named him “Thorgal Aegirsson”.

As an adult, Thorgal is a powerful warrior and a gifted bowman, but is deeply ostracized among his own community: not only does he not share the love of fight and violence of his fellow Vikings, but he also was forced to live alone, away from the others as a skald by the community’s chief, Gandalf-the-Mad, who dislikes him for being the adoptive son of the previous chief, Leif Haraldson. Thorgal’s only friend in the community is also his lover, Aaricia, Gandalf’s own daughter. Unable to live freely their love among their peers, the duo decides to leave their village and build their own life on their own.

Which… actually won’t be easy, since not only does humanity’s cruelty and vice keeps catching up with them, but the world they live is one not exactly like our own, much more dangerous and much more fantastical than it seems… And to gain their peaceful life they will need to go through many perils, natural and unnatural.

This is the plot of “Thorgal”, one of the most famous Franco-Belgian bande-dessinée (comic book). Starting out as a serialized publication in the magazine “Le Journal de Tintin” in 1977, it quickly became its own series, and it still published to this day, with a total of 40 issues and fourteen “chapters” (either independent adventures told in one issue, or a “cycle”, an arc-story spread over several issues). It received numerous prices, spin-off series, and is one of the best-selling Franco-Belgian BDs ever alongside other classics such as “XIII”, “Lucky Luke” or “Largo Winch”.

For you see, Thorgal isn’t just a historical adventure set in the 10th-11th centuries. In fact it doesn’t even takes place in our world, though it looks strongly like it – either the civilizations we see are real-world ones but renamed and slightly changed to fit the world (the Vikings living in Northland ; the Eastern Roman Empire), either they were made-up by inspired by real-world ones (the land of Qâ in Central America which takes from both Aztec and Maya ; the island-realm of “Our-Land” which is inspired by Ancient Greece despite being located between the Portuguese and North-African coasts). And let’s not talk about the chronology, as things are quite weird historically – despite being at the turn of the first millennium, some civilizations seem taken out of the 5th century while others have the technology or fashion of 15th century countries, resulting in a very strange mix…

But the actual reason why Thorgal isn’t just some “historical piece” is because it delves into both science-fiction and fantasy. Science-fiction because we quickly learn that the “ship” Thorgal was found in as a baby was a space capsule: he is actually the last descendant of a group of humans known as “The People of the Stars”. They once were the fabled Atlanteans, but decided to leave Earth and used their hyper-advanced technology to colonize another planet. However, having consumed all the resources of their new planet, they tried to return to Earth – but crashed in the North Pole, where most of them died, except for a few including Thorgal’s family. In fact, we do meet several other survivors of the People of the Stars throughout the series, who are often mistaken for sorcerers or gods by the inhabitants of Earth thanks to both their wonderful technology and their psychic abilities. However despite this very “scientific” start that leads to an “historical science-fiction” piece and does feed into the idea of “ancient civilizations built or helped by aliens”… the supernatural does actually exist in Thorgal’s world. As he, his lover and his children will learn (because after Thorgal’s numerous adventures, we follow his children’s adventures), the gods and monsters of Norse mythology are very real: Frigg, Fenrir, Loki, the giants are all there. And not only the gods their mythology, but also of others! Magic exists, and so does actual sorcerers and wizards, and Thorgal’s travels do not just take him around the world, but also in OTHER worlds, where spirits and deities dwell… He even gets to meet the guardian of all those dimensions, that prove to be a true multiverse.

The result is a very unique mix of historical fiction, science-fiction and fantasy, where poor Thorgal only wants one thing – to settle peacefully with his family and be left alone – only for his native space civilization, his Viking civilization of adoption, the various political plots and religious wars of his era, or the gods and sorcerers of the world to constantly endanger him or throw him into perilous adventures.

Best BD Character Hairstyle Tournament

Nominations are closed and the bracket is set! It’s time to see who’s hair comes out top! Polls will open July 8 at 9AM EDT and will run for 1 day each (I haven’t seen enough activity across the various BD fanbases to warrant one week polls). I’ll include links to each poll here after it goes live.

3 characters unfortunately did not make the cut but will receive honorable mentions: Titeuf (Titeuf), Cybersix/Adrien (Cybersix), and Clifton (Clifton). Since we received 67 nominations but only 64 could make it in, these 3 missed the cut.

The Favorites (most likely to make it to semifinals):

Prunelle (Gaston) Blutch (Les Tuniques Bleues) Lucky Luke (Lucky Luke) Mademoiselle Jeanne (Gaston)

Game: Largo Winch .// Commander SAR (PS1)

I’d never heard of Largo Winch until very recently, but I get the impression that anyone who’s ever made a Largo Winch video game distilled the character’s original essence to just “James Bond, sort of”.

Also I don’t think anyone knows when this game came out. Every place on the internet says 2002 but someone on Gameinformer said 2001. If it was 2002, that would be absolutely insane, because a completely different Largo Winch game came out for Playstation 2  in 2002 from the same publisher. There’s no way anyone would do something that stupid. Right?
