Comments on: Dredging up the past, one prestige project at a time… http://comics212.net/2008/05/21/dredging-up-the-past-one-prestige-project-at-a-time/ Never Safe For Work Thu, 18 Mar 2010 17:21:55 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Stephen Betts http://comics212.net/2008/05/21/dredging-up-the-past-one-prestige-project-at-a-time/comment-page-1/#comment-69901 Stephen Betts Fri, 30 May 2008 19:33:51 +0000 http://comics212.net/2008/05/21/dredging-up-the-past-one-prestige-project-at-a-time/#comment-69901 Hi there, I wanted to let you know about Comix Influx (http://comixinflux.com), a new(ish) website dedicated to the collaborative translation of comics - essentially, it's a wiki for comics translations. Readers of all language abilities are encouraged to contribute, and there is an email list (at http://tinyurl.com/5mova8) for the discussion of foreign-language comics in general. We only show the text from comics, not the art, and so it is only useful to people who have the comic already. No-one has embarked on a translation of anything by Fabrice Neaud yet, but he is definitely up there on the wish-list. If anyone felt moved to start working on The Journals it'd be really great. Please check-out the site, and do join in if you feel inclined. Thanks, Stephen. Hi there,

This should stop me from trying to squeeze a column out of the subject, but it probably won’t.

You back me up on Neaud's Journals and Konig, which I put on Tom's list. I don't know why Konig hasn't caught on here more-- he's so bloody funny. And the lack of availability of Neaud's Journals in English makes me so sad -- my French isn't NEARLY good enough to parse most of it, but what I can make out makes me think I need to take French lessons, just so I can understand more.

And a big, loud "Seconded" on the <i>Complete Journals</i>. I've been wanting that since I read Neaud's piece in <i>Japan</i>. Thanks for doing the calculations and for the commentary.
