Italian UFO Comics

Hi

I edit the Gerry Anderson Complete Comic History website:

http://www.technodelic.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/Home.htm

- and would like to run a feature on the Italian photonovel magazines and home-spun
'pseudo-UFO' comics.

Eighteen of the episodes were adapted as b/w photostories, and I have access to all of
these, but translating them is awkward and slow, and wondered if there are any Italian
fans on the board whose English is good enough to assist in coverage.

The 'pseudo-UFO' comics were like digest-size or pocket-libraries, and a fair number used
reference photos from 'UFO' for the covers, and some craft like interceptors and mobiles,
but there all similarity to the series ended. The characters and format were wildly different,
but again I'd like to do a small feature on these so if any Italian fans collected or read
them, assistance in researching and compiling it would be greatly appreciated.

I have added a picture of one of the covers in the photo section, in an album called 'UFO
Comics'.

I can be contacted through the website, or here at the group.

Thanks in advance,

Shaqui

Dear Shaqui,

I'm an Italian fan of UFO, who knows the English language quite
well, having lived two years in London and having also een a
translator. I might be the person you are looking for, and I would
be very pleased to assist you on translating those comics. By the
way, as I was a child, I had a couple of issues of the UFO Italian
comics published by Edifumetto, and I still must have some in my
garage. I was recently thinking to buy the entire collection as
another Italian publisher re-issued the whole series, and I probably
will.
I am not quite sure if we are speaking of the same comics, but as I
said, being such a fan of UFO and related issues, I will surely like
to help you with magazines and comics you need to translate.

My Best Wishes

Guy

Hello Guy.

Hi Guy & all.

Are you referring to:

http://www.isoshado.org/6/6_merchandise_archivio/i_film_di_ufo.htm

and/or to:

http://www.isoshado.org/6/6_merchandise_archivio/comics_it.htm

?

Hi Teresa,

I'm not sure which of the two Shaqui is referring, but I will know
something more as soon as he will reply.
You will surely know there is a publisher who reissued the
Edifumetto comics:

http://www.alessandroeditore.it/libreria.phtml?
TAB=LIB10&EDITORE=EDIFUMETTO&COLLANA=SERIE%20COMPLETE%
20EDIFUMETTO&SHOWALL=1

I haven't found any source on how to get the Romana Editrice series,
which is the one I must have a couple of issues in my garage.

By the way browsing on your web site I found the album of
the "Figurine Panini" that I had at that time. If only my mum wasn't
so tidy, I would probably still have it too. :-(. Any chance of
getting a copy...?

Keep posted

Hi Teresa,

Having checked on Isoshado, I must assume Shaqui is referring to the
Edifumetto one, which, by the way is now been republished according
to the information on this web page:

http://www.alessandroeditore.it/libreria.phtml?
TAB=LIB10&EDITORE=EDIFUMETTO&COLLANA=SERIE%20COMPLETE%
20EDIFUMETTO&SHOWALL=1

Browsing the publishing section of Isoshado, I found back the album
of the "Figurine Panini" my mum sadly disposed when I was a kid.

:-(

In fact, as Shaqui already said, the Ufo Comics published by
Edifumetto has very few references to the Ufo TV series. But still
fascinating as far as concerns quality of drawings. As far as I
remember, a part from the look of Straker, who has a different name,
the headquarter of that organization was in Switzerland, and has got
completely different vehicles and facilities. The character supposed
to be Gay Ellis is blond and called Alma Rogers (quite a beauty too
though).


ps: I must assume that you, or Malaguti have the completed "Panini
Album" filed. Do you think I can have a look, when I will be able to
visit the Isoshado headquarter?
