The artwork of the ancient city of Kamira looks a lot like that of the city of Trobbits in the Pif Gadget stories!

Aw, Scorpio's little 'moment' with his love for his spaceship is a really nice character touch!

LOL!!!! I find it ridicoulous!!! They could do better than that... But I suppose that since there's no woman in the line they have to show love for something!!! Anyway, I think this doesn't affect the comic at all. It's pace is very strong and keeps you in suspense.

Every warrior good or bad has a love relationship with the weapon/vehicle he fights and protect him.
It is the one and only moment that Scorpio can be affectionate with something.LOL!!!!!

Yep, it's the same guy all right, he used to work fot the popular greek comic babel. At the time it was the only greek quality comic, so el greco felt that it had to give the job to a greek artist. The guy really stood out with his stories. I think the comic artwork has a culty and dark feeling, as his stories in babel, which is really great! I used to read his stories when I was a kid. I remember that babel had a more adult approach, it compined fantasy with violence and a lot of sex... It was the heavy metal comic counterpart in Greece! And I guess that's why I found its stories fascinating, ha, ha!!!

Ah, not the Black Spider! I'm sure it can be repaired though Actually, something this really brings into focus is the idea of the Space Ships being redundent when you also have Warlock and Triton for Blackstar and the bad guys to ride - the space ships would be practical to use, sure, but Warlock is much cooler and a real part of the cast, instead of just a vehicle. Thanks again for all the work you've been putting into translating this comic and making it accessible for us all

And wasn't the swamp of reptiles - sounds like Karnosaur's swamp from the Edition Lugs comic
