I just did a quick google of 'griffon' (the spelling used in the original french) and there is a breed of dog called a Griffon - originally hunting dogs used by the Gauls! Maybe that is where it comes from/what it's ment to mean? Otherwise maybe it is just something to do with them being part animal/part something else, the Pif Gadget comic referred to Breelorand as a Hippogrif...

Panel One Blackstar: A dead end!... Impossible to force the petrified shields!...
Panel Two Blackstar: By the Galaxy! The floor cracks! It is only a thin mirror of ice!
Panel Three Blackstar: I was expecting a dirty trick...
Panel Four Blackstar: ...But not this trap!
Panel Five Blackstar (thinking): I am falling into a stew of soporific gas... I... Blackstar (thinking): I’m loosing... consciousness... Blackstar (thinking): Ma... Mara...

Panel One Poulo: Pfffwwoouit!
Panel Two Carpo: Beeuurk... The anti-freeze Rif is cooking is upsetting my stomach!
Terra: Yeah, right! That’s the wrong vegetables! We’re manufactured rations of explosives watermelons!
Balkar: Ice ahead! By the scarves of the Ancient Ones... prepare to unload the catapult!
Panel Three Poulo: Hooo... hisse!
Panel Four Poulo: Spliiiit! Pfioouuu! Piout! Piout!
Balkar: What? What do you say, Poulo? We have been seen? By who then, harrumph?
Panel Six Balkar (probably): What? These Icebergardes are equipped with electronic eyes?
Rif: They’ll report what we’re doing

Page Thirty-Two Panel One Balkar: Aska Lava Tchaoum! Amasta Rama Padum! O’ Kreos, god of the cold mists! You who were the protector of the Ancient Ones! I am Balkar, king of the Trobbits, and you know that we act for the good and peace of your planet against the evil plans of the Overlord, who occupies your kingdom of ice with impunity! Panel Two Balkar: Aska Lava Tchaoum! O’ good Kreos! Hide us under your opaque clouds, so that we can save Blackstar and Mara!... And recover the Black Star! Terra: Kreos deigns to show his face! Rif: This shows that our great leader is a great leader! Panel Three Kreos: Do not shout so loud, Balkar! I am not deaf, I understood you! But I require something in return! Balkar: Euh… so, O’ Kreos… I hadn’t thought of that! Panel Four Kreos: You love the sun, you celebrate the land and its seasons! Me, the mist, I account for the wind and that is why my clouds shed tears of rain… Panel Five Kreos: Do you promise to honour me now as you do all the gods whom you respect? Balkar: I promise you that we will dance and feast for three days and three nights in your honour, and that we will do this every year in remembrance of our alliance! Panel Six Carpo: I will build you a throne at the top of our sacred tree, Kreos! Burble: I will gather your rain water to make magic in your name! Terra: I will give the best seeds from my garden in good pleasure to your wind! Rif: I will prepare the best vol-au-vents on Sagar! Poulo: Ssswwiiizzz… Balkar: O’ Kreos! Poulo has already composed a ballad for you! Panel Seven Kreos: Indeed, Trobbits! I was tired of not being as well honoured as my fellow pantheon! Thank you! NOTES: * Kreos sure has mellowed out since his defeat in 'Lightning City in the Clouds' * The Trobbits are also really getting off lightkly here - all they have to do is feast and dance and have a party for 3 days every year!You'd think he would have asked for blood sacrifice or something instead...

Page Thirty-Three
Panel One Kreos: My vapours rise! My cumulus and nimbus clouds will cover you! Go without fear and good luck, Trobbits!
Balkar: Forward, march! And push hard, soldier Trobbits!
Trobbits: Hoo… hisse! Hoo…hisse! Panel Two Rif (from cloud): Don’t you think that our king really is a great leader, my friends?
Balkar (from cloud): Oh! Button it, Rif! And push this thing with us, harrumph! Han!
Panel Three Caption: And in the sea of clouds covering the ice, the little band undertakes to go into decisive battle…
Balkar: By the glasses of the Ancient Ones! The Griffon Guards will not see anything but white!
Poulo: Pfff…
Trobbit: Us too chef Balkar… crevice on the port side!
Balkar: Attention! Crevice on the starboard side!
Panel Four Griffon Guard: A call from our Icebergardes! The signal comes from the south coast!
Tongo: Moron! Look! The monitors are empty! There is no need to disturb our master with a false alarm! Tongo: At the moment… he has other cats to whip!
NOTES:
* I probably should have translated Tongo's last line as 'he has other things to do' rather than teh literal 'other cats to whip' since that is what the sentiment being expressed is... but then again, it seems more interesting to have a Leopard Man say 'other cats to whip' and it works as the sort of pun you'd expect from the Blackstar tv show.

Page Thirty-Four Panel One Blackstar (off panel): Where… where… am I? Blackstar (off panel): Ma… Mara… my sweet fairy… this… this must be just a dream… Panel Three Mara: No… this is a nightmare, Blackstar! We are prisoners of the Overlord! Panel Four Mara: And between us opens the Bottomless Pit… into which he will plunge us! This crater is said to pierce through the ice to the burning magma of the planet’s core! Blackstar: Courage, Mara! I have come to save you! Blackstar: But… By the Galaxy! Our jailer has taken my sword and the Black Star! Panel Five Overlord: They are both in my hands, Blackstar! You were foolish enough to give me this precious gem that will make me the Master of the Universe! Overlord: Ah! Ah! Ah! Panel Six Overlord: Once I am rid of you, nothing and nobody can oppose my cosmic event! Especially not your friends the Trobbits, ridiculous midgets that even together would not satisfy the belly of Karnosaur! Ah! Ah! Ah! NOTES: * Yeah, nice rescue Blackstar... I was expecting a sarcastic reply from Mara, especially after she was so quick off the mark with the 'no this is a nightmare' line... * Alright, this time I just went with it and translated Overlord's line as 'Master of the Universe' * 'Nobody can stop me, especially not those Trobbits...' - oh Overlord, you're just asking for it now...

Page Thirty-Four * Alright, this time I just went with it and translated Overlord's line as 'Master of the Universe' Yeah, why not, one can assume it's a reference to the greek masters of the universe comic and the pre sagar history, when Overlord was so close becoming the master of the universe...

Page Thirty-Five
Panel One Overlord: They moulder on their Sacred Tree! I have decided, before I devour the universe, to conquer your planet of origin and the wealth of technology it has created… Overlord: …In the image of your invulnerable magic sword!
Blackstar: Cursed Tyrant! Your hunger for power blinds your judgment!
Panel Two Blackstar: How can you find a world that even I can’t remember? There are more planets in the galaxy than there are water drops in your sinister lair!
Overlord: To probe your past I have the best and fastest spacecraft, Blackstar! The Black Star!...
Panel Three Overlord: …which when joined with my Moon Stone, will deliver the secrets buried deep in your brain! Ah! Ah! Ah! Before you die under the blows of your own sword, and I throw your body into the bottomless pit, I will know exactly where your planet is!
Panel Four Overlord: Griffon Guards! Place this bag at the feet of the fallen prince… then disappear!
Blackstar: Tyrant! At least spare the fairy Mara!
Panel Five Mara: No, Blackstar, my beloved, prince of justice… I would prefer to die with you than see this monster devour the universe!
Overlord: By the cold tomb! I could subscribe to this human’s request… but instead this idiotic feeling you call love condemns you to the Bottomless Pit!

Panel One Caption: From the bag, the demonic Overlord draws a unique crystal…
Overlord: The Moon Stone! Ah! Ah! Ah!
Panel Two Caption: Then he extracts the Black Star and deposits it on the Moon Stone…
Panel Three Caption: And with the union of the two jewels, Blackstar discovers the universal secret of pure mathematical lines of supreme power!
Panel Four Caption: Overlord then raises his arms towards the ceiling and the ice recedes… and the two full moons of Sagar appear in the starry vault above…
Overlord: Oh moons! Astral rays of the two cosmic principles! Give me your cold light!
Panel Five Caption: And suddenly, in the heart of the two dead stars, both magical gems blaze between their feet…
Overlord: Your rays melt and crystallise within the Black Star and the Moon Stone!
Panel Six Overlord: Now from your union let a single ray burst forth imbued with the power cosmic!
Panel Seven Overlord: And penetrate the mind of Blackstar so that I can read revealed in his eyes the secrets of his origins!
Blackstar: You can kill my body! But you will never steal… my mind!

Panel One Mara: Blackstar! My love… close yours! Quickly!
Panel Two Caption: But an irresistible energy forces the eyelids of the prince from elsewhere…
Panel Three Blackstar: I have… to close my eyes… close… aaaah…
Panel Four Overlord: Open your eyes, Blackstar! I see… I see the images of your past that form at the bottom of your iris… I see the infinite cosmos…
Blackstar: Aaaah…
Panel Five Overlord (off panel): Out there, amongst the stars… a bright light appears… that of a spaceship! Overlord (off panel): Oh Blackstar! I can perfectly distinguish your ship… sailing backwards, as if it is swallowing the jet of flame it emits!
Panel Six Overlord (off panel): The image accelerates as it plunges into your solar system! Overlord (off panel): Your backwards ship crosses a procession of barren worlds…

Well I find it easier working from the scanned pages when I do the translations so that is still a help for me
