Of COURSE Klone has a smokin hot bachelor pad somewhere! Perfect for hosting other "confirmed bachelors"!

Now I am imagining Klone in his swinging pad all Hugh Hefner style in a smoking jacket lol meanwhile Blackstar lives in a tree.
I really should get around to taking a crack at the other scans that were posted one of these days.

hey thanks for translation coinilius! I have all the Blackstar's stories edited by Pif gadget magazine now, but no scanner to show this to you. Sometimes i feel extremely alone in France with my Blackstar interest, but in USA it seems to be hard to be fan of this cartoon too!

It seems to be tough no matter where you are - I am in Australia and I don't think that there are very many other Blackstar fans in the country I've been meaning to sit down and start the translations for the other pages we have, but have been too busy with work. I have three weeks holidays coming up though, so I will try and get them done then. My translations are pretty rough, but I think they get the point across lol (I hope so, anyway). If you do get a scanner, it would be great to see the rest of the Pif Gadget comic pages scanned and put up - I'm sure everyone around here would love to see them (I know I would) I've actually been keeping an eye out for the issues around the net, whether for sale or in scanned form (Pif Gadget seems to have a large fan base), but no luck so far Now if only we could get some scans of the other French Blackstar comic, the Editions LUGS one...

Ok, started work on translating some of the other story pages...
The Golden Conch: The Pack of Monsters
Page Thirty (?)
Caption: Blackstar wants to recover the Golden Conch, whose software contains all the history of the planet Sagar since the civilisation of the Trobbits...
Panel One
Caption: A screen of the interior Televisor lights up...
Vizier: Overlord, my master, look! Blackstar is in the underground city! He takes the Golden Conch!
Panel Two
Overlord: The Golden Conch is the memory of Sagar. At no price should the Trobbits find the history of their origin!
Panel Three
Caption: Already the pack of monsters was swarming towards the underground city... Lavaloc and its Crystal-lynxes... Tongo and his warriors...
Tongo: I want us to drag him alive in front of the Overlord!
Caption: ...Gargo and his vampire wings...
Gargo: Blackstar is taken with the trap! Glory to the great Overlord!
Panel Four
Overlord: I want him alive! Vizier, prepare the chains!
So some more rough translations in parts there, sorry... but again, the main thrust of the story comes across pretty easily.
And man, I really wasn't expecting some of the directions this story is taking - why doesn't the Overlord want the Trobbits to know the hostory of their origin? The worst part is, I doubt that will be answered in the pages that we have here lol

SORRY GUYS. I was forced to remove all the scanned pages for a simple reason: we cannot infringe any copyright on a Proboards forum.My advice: Barbarian, please scan the pages anyway and put them on a site, on some sort of server. Those comics are too much precious --- we need to "archive" them, no matter what. Thank you so much, and please: forgive me.

This might be something that can be taken over to the Blackstar yahoo group, Planet Sagar, where the archiving of these stories might be a more appropriate topic? Just a thought, anyway. groups.yahoo.com/group/Planet_Sagar/

Storywise, I always thought it more believable that the Sagar Tree itself might be an organic computer containing knowledge about the planet's distant past.

Drink the water collected in the pools deep inside the Tree, and if you have the oracle gift, you'd see all kinds of stuff.

Well, going by the first page that Metal Dragon translated, I was just expecting the Golden Conch to be something that, when blown, caused disasters or something like that, so it being a repository of knowledge and there being a mystery about the Trobbit's origins that the Overlord wants to keep from them is at least an interesting twist on what I was imagining the story to be.
Not that I expect the resolution to necessary be anything interesting... indeed, if we ever even see a resolution to that story thread, since it doesn't look like it will be in the pages that barbarian originally posted.

Even though the scans have been removed from this site, I will continue posting the translations of what we had up before here (that should still be alright to do, I assume?).
Page Thirty One
Panel One Klone: Overlord and his hordes are on the teeth! Our situation is desperate, Blackstar...
Blackstar: All is not lost, Klone! Ahead!
Panel Two Caption: Tongo and his warriors barred the esplanade...
Blackstar: The marvellous sword will open a way to me!
Panel Three Blackstar: Disappear, Klone! Metamorphose yourself into a bat!
Panel Four Tongo: Lock him up in a circle of lances! Tongo: The history of the Trobbits is dead!
Panel Six Blackstar: The history of the people is immortal!
Caption: ...And Blackstar was in the middle of the fray... the sword bionics sang the song of fire!

Next page: Page Thirty-Two Panel OneBlackstar: The memory of the people cannot die, and the Golden Conch is the memory of Sagar... Panel TwoKlone: I am with you, Blackstar! Caption: Klone took the shape of a wild buffalo with powerful horns... Panel FiveCaption: ...and attacked like a tank! Panel SixCaption: The stupid warriors of stupid Tongo were struck with a black panic, and sought safety in a quick escape... Blackstar: The breach is opened, Klone! Panel SevenCaption: Then appeared Gargo and his vampires... Gargo: Blackstar is with us!
The stupid warriors of stupid Tongo is an awesome line
