Probably over half no? Tonnes of Argentinians, Spaniards and Italians. An unsung part on of British comics' stylistic identity: super influential on all the 2000ad guys.

Nemesis does lose itself but the cartooning is top notch the whole time. Hicklenton is fantastic

Agreed. I don't think it's perfect or anything, just way better than Halo Jones in my mind. HJ is good for such an early work of Moore's, but I think it gets heavily overrated. It's very obviously an early work and I've personally never been crazy about Gibson's drawing

Dropping Nemesis over Halo Jones is crazy to me

Le Fou 2.

Probably, but I'm not certain. NYRC stuff rarely seems to go out of stock. Surely Fanta realise it isn't smart to print a lot of a Micheluzzi translation

They must've become more lucrative in recent years, as more and more of that stuff is getting translated. I figured NYRC are able to do it because they have a reader base that trusts the implicitly tastemakers at the publisher. Also more likely to reach audiences newer to comics than Fanta for eg.

NYRC are able to tap into other markets, though. So hopefully it's successful enough that they translate Pentothal (which Fanta also had the license to)

I was worried they'd let it lapse and no one would pick it up. Thankfully NYRC came to the rescue! I had the impression Zanardi didn't sell very well. Kim Thompson used to say they were lucky if a Euro translation broke even.

Seems like that's the case! Few things get me as hyped as upcoming NYRC translations of Euro comics

British comics' school of style is almost entirely derivative of Spanish and Argentinian artists who were poached by Fleeway for war comics and 2000AD

Should've said Brazilian at the end there too. There's also still a lot of Filipinos (though less then there used to be) and we're starting to see more Kazakh, Indian, Indonesian and Bangladeshi talent go in that direction as well

It's really good! Plays with Shōnen tropes in interesting ways, manages both emotional resonance and hype moments, and it's a delight to see Akutami come into his own as an artist. Some people don't like the ending but it sticks the landing imo. I'm in the process of rereading it

Jujutsu Kaisen!

Haha I think you're right

I should read more of his interviews, but my interpretation was that he was very passionate about the form but disappointed in the direction it was going. More than a bit curmudgeonly. Sort of the Alan Moore of his time (I'm aware there's some overlap there)
