That is amazing! Imagine those two working together on a movie.

A shame indeed. I wonder what people in the US will say when they finally are able to compare Miller's version of Thermopylae with that of Oesterheld and Breccia's...

They'll wonder why the Spartans are all behaving like poofs For me the homoerotic subtext is there, in the 'friendship' between Mort Cinder and his poet companion, and even if that's historically accurate for the Spartans to be homosexual, it probably deviates too much from the macho version Miller sold his audience to be accepted. In any event, it probably won't be violent and cool enough for them.

Sad thing is, you're right and makes me mighty sad.

Dude. Pandora just up and frickin' SHOT him!

Yeah I just read it. It seemed like something happened in every panel but then it felt like nothing happened at all. Very rabbit hole.

If you ever get the chance, get the Harvill edition of Ballad.

Whats the big difference ? Is the layout, the panels?

Im not picky unless its terrible reprinting that missuse the layout or translate badly.

A bit better translations, dimensions are way bigger ( Harvill 11.6 x 8.7 x 0.9 inches, the reprint 6.8 x 0.9 x 9.5 inches), in black and white (the way it originally was done and was suppose to be viewed because of Pratt's amazing and bold use of B&W), panels aren't cutoff or moved like they are in the reprint. Very big differences that at times do take away from the story.
