Aiguisez vos lames et sortez vos plus beaux casques à cornes, direction les terres sauvages et envoûtantes de l'Heroic Fantasy avec Voltar par Alfredo Alcala, une saga dans la plus pure tradition Sword & Sorcery du Conan le Barbare de Robert E. Howard ! La France cultive une vision assez nombriliste de l'art séquentiel. Quand on sait à quel point le Manga peut encore être méprisé par une partie des lecteurs et des spécialistes du médium, on imagine sans mal la vision réductrice qui existe vis-à-vis des productions venant de pays où le Neuvième Art est jugé, à tort, moins noble qu'en Europe. La préservation et la diffusion du patrimoine de la bande dessinée me semblent aujourd'hui indispensables pour faire vivre cette culture à l'échelle mondiale, et certains éditeurs réalisent un travail remarquable en la matière. C'est le cas de Neofelis Éditions qui nous propose de découvrir les épisodes de Voltar par Alfredo Alcala, publiés aux États-Unis entre 1977 et 1981. Cette intégrale regroupe le premier épisode de Voltar, paru dans le premier numéro de Magic Carpet, ainsi que les huit épisodes suivants parus dans The Rook chez Warren Publishing. On y suit les aventures du héros éponyme, champion du royaume d'Elysium au service du roi Antiochus, qui va devoir libérer sa contrée des hordes de kobolds du seigneur Magog, dont l'invasion préfigure l'Apocalypse. La quête de Voltar l'emmènera jusqu'aux profondeurs de la Terre, à la recherche d'un sauveur qui pourra libérer Elysium. Dans ce périple semé d'embûches à travers un monde hostile livré à des plaies ancestrales, Voltar va affronter les sombres sicaires de Magog, des cavaliers assassins vêtus de noirs qui ne sont pas sans rappeler les Nazgûls de l'univers de Tolkien, et de nombreuses autres créatures fantastiques. Graphiquement, Alcala, dont le style est ici à mi-chemin entre Frank Frazetta et Gustave Doré, propose des paysages démesurés qui invitent au voyage et à l'aventure. On est aspiré par son univers sombre et farouche, rempli de personnages héroïques et de monstres effrayants, et le grand format de l'album permet de profiter à fond de ses planches éblouissantes ! Cette ambiance de fin de monde, où un messie providentiel doit terrasser le malin et où le destin semble inexorable, fait sans doute écho à l'éducation d'Alfredo Alcala, mais aussi à l'histoire des Philippines. Pays très catholique occupé tour à tour par les Espagnols, les Américains, puis les Japonais, avant de connaître la dictature de Ferdinand Marcos, l'archipel Philippin possède une histoire mouvementée dont résulte un cocktail improbable de principes religieux et de culture pulp qui a sans doute influencé par bien des façons le travail de l'auteur. Cultivant un sens du sacrifice tout ce qu'il y a de plus biblique, le vaillant guerrier d'Alfredo Alcala ne recule devant rien pour accomplir sa mission, dans une démarche jusqu'au-boutiste qui rencontre la Fantasy du Seigneur des Anneaux et les mythes et légendes de l'Antiquité. Né en 1925 aux Philippines, Alfredo P. Alcala publie ses premiers travaux dès 1948. Artiste hétéroclite, il s'essaie autant aux histoires de Science-Fiction qu'à la Romance ou à l'Horreur. En 1963, il crée le personnage de Voltar, qui emprunte de toute évidence à l'œuvre de Robert E. Howard, créateur de Conan le Barbare, Kull le Conquérant et Solomon Kane. Ce héros d'une série de quarante-cinq épisodes ; dont on retrouvera le tout premier publié dans Alcala Fight Comix chez Craf Publishers aux Philippines au sommaire de l'intégrale de Neofelis ; répond aux codes classiques de l'Heroic Fantasy, et plus particulièrement du genre Sword & Sorcery. Comme Conan, Voltar est un valeureux combattant ne comptant que sur sa force et son courage pour affronter les forces du mal. Cependant, si le personnage fait parfois preuve de ruse et se montre impitoyable envers ses ennemis, il n'en reste pas moins fidèle à des principes quasi-chevaleresques et se comporte bien plus en héros modèle que le Cimmérien, beaucoup plus enclin aux beuveries et aux comportements irrespectueux envers les femmes que son homologue philippin…  En 1972, Alfredo Alcala commence à travailler comme dessinateur et comme encreur pour DC Comics, notamment sur des séries horrifiques comme House of Secrets, House of Mysteries ou The Unexpected. Pour le même éditeur, il officie également comme encreur sur la série Swamp Thing entre 1986 et 1990. Outre l'Horreur et ses dérivés, Alcala reste très lié au genre qui à fait sa popularité à l'international : l'Heroic Fantasy. En plus de participer à plusieurs numéros des séries Kull the Destroyer chez Marvel et Arak, Son of Thunder chez DC, il va surtout démontrer ses talents de dessinateur et d'encreur sur un grand nombre d'épisodes de Conan the Barbarian et The Savage Sword of Conan. Une forme de consécration pour celui qui a passé une grande partie de sa carrière philippine à mettre en scène les aventures d'un héros largement inspiré par celui de Howard et par les travaux de ses émules, qui firent les belles heures des pulp's durant la première moitié du vingtième siècle aux États-Unis. Aujourd'hui encore, les comics Conan publiés par Marvel pendant plus de vingt ans, dont les équipes créatives prestigieuses comptent des talents comme Roy Thomas, John Buscema, Earl Norem ou Marie Severin, méritent tout l'intérêt du public. Que ce soit pour le souffle épique des aventures qu'ils présentent ou l'adaptation et le développement de l'univers créé par Robert E. Howard pendant sa courte carrière plusieurs décennies auparavant. Par son travail sur l'une des licences stars des années 1980, Les Maîtres de l'Univers, Alcala marquera aussi l'esprit des plus jeunes en réalisant plusieurs mini-comics promotionnels distribués avec les figurines de la fameuse ligne de jouets de Mattel. Plus exotique encore, il encrera même plusieurs numéros de la série Scooby-Doo de Archie Comics, avant de prendre sa retraite en 1997.Décédé en l'an 2000, Alfredo Alcala aura collaboré avec les plus grands noms de la bande dessinée américaine sur des séries comme Hellblazer ou Kamandi, et son style unique, plusieurs fois récompensé, restera à jamais gravé dans l'histoire des comic books. Grâce à Neofelis Edition, qui nous offre ici un ouvrage à l'envergure patrimoniale essentielle, qui condense tout le pouvoir de la bande dessinée, l'œuvre d'Alfredo Alcala vit et pourra, je l'espère, toucher une nouvelle génération de lecteurs. Enfin, on ne peut qu'adresser un grand bravo à Tristan Lapoussiere pour son travail de recherche et de restauration, avec l'aide du fils d'Alfredo Alcala. La préface et la galerie de couvertures sont richement documentées et permettent d'en apprendre plus sur l'artiste et sur le contexte de publication de ses productions aux Philippines. Évidemment, si vous voulez en savoir plus sur cette intégrale Voltar, je vous conseille d'aller faire un tour sur le site de Neofelis pour soutenir leur démarche ! N'hésitez pas à partager cet article sur les réseaux sociaux s'il vous a plu !

Quand un artiste incontournable du monde des comic books entreprend d'adapter l'un des auteurs les plus influents de la Pop Culture, le résultat ne peut être qu'une fresque époustouflante porteuse d'un message qui traverse les âges. Un achèvement concrétisé par Bloodstar de Richard Corben, d'après Robert E. Howard. Le Choc des TitansLa route fut longue, sinueuse, semée d'embûches, faites de pentes et de rampes aux inclinaisons ahurissantes, mais il me semble que l'on peut désormais l'affirmer avec plus ou moins de certitude : la bande dessinée américaine n'est plus considérée comme une catégorie inférieure du neuvième art. En tout cas, plus autant qu'avant. Les mentalités évoluent, et les lecteurs comprennent depuis quelque temps l'importance de l'aspect historique et culturel de certaines publications. Les éditeurs aussi l'ont compris : entre les intégrales de Panini Comics, qui vont chercher de plus en plus de pépites jusqu'alors négligée du catalogue de Marvel; la collection Urban Cult, qui propose de redécouvrir Animal Man, Grendel ou encore Camelot 3000; Huginn & Muninn qui offrent enfin une édition honorable à Madman de Mike Allred en France; et même Reflexions, qui fête le trentième anniversaire de Image Comics en nous proposant les intégrales de CyberForce; on voit désormais fleurir dans nos bibliothèques des comics au format parfois luxueux, et reflétant toute la richesse du patrimoine de la bande dessinée américaine. S'il y a bien un éditeur français qui se plie en quatre pour réaliser un véritable travail de préservation de la BD anglo-saxonne, c'est Delirium. Aux côtés de Judge Dredd, de The Mask, ou des Nextmen de John Byrne, on trouve au catalogue de l'éditeur de véritables bijoux comme Nemesis de Pat Mills, Nexus de Mike Baron et Steve Rude, mais aussi une impressionnante collection dédiée au travail de Richard Corben. Récompensé à de multiples reprises pour son travail, Richard Corben est une figure incontournable de la bande dessinée indépendante américaine. Après avoir travaillé pour Warren Publishing et Métal Hurlant, Corben fondera son propre label : Fantagor Press, avant de collaborer avec les Big Two sur des séries comme Hellblazer, pour le label Vertigo de DC Comics, et des personnages comme Luke Cake ou le Punisher chez Marvel. Son trait particulièrement reconnaissable, ses univers à la fois exotiques et inquiétants, ses personnages aussi candides qu'abîmés, et un érotisme latent, parfois décrié, font de l'œuvre de Corben un ensemble riche mais homogène, qui dépeint le plus souvent un monde où règne la loi du plus fort. Avec Bloodstar, dont la première parution remonte à 1976 chez The Morning Star Press aux États-Unis, Corben adapte une nouvelle de l'incontournable auteur texan Robert E. Howard : La Vallée du Ver (The Valley of the Worm), publiée en 1934 dans le magazine Weird Tales. Né en 1906, Robert Ervin Howard est un écrivain très prolifique comptant parmi les pères fondateurs de la Fantasy moderne. Créateur de Solomon Kane, Kull, mais aussi, évidemment, de Conan le Barbare, qui deviendra son personnage le plus populaire et dont le succès sera longtemps entretenu par les comics et le cinéma. Ses histoires ont fait les belles heures des pulps, magazines bon marché très populaires aux États-Unis durant la première moitié du XXe siècle et dans lesquels de nombreux auteurs de science-fiction et de fantastique ont fait leurs débuts, de Isaac Asimov à Edgar Rice Burroughs, en passant par Philip K. Dick, Ray Bradburry ou Frank Herbert. En 1936, quand il apprend que sa mère atteinte de tuberculose, et dont il prend soin depuis de nombreuses années, ne sortira plus du coma, Howard, déjà dans un état dépressif sévère, se suicide d'une balle dans la tempe. Mort à seulement 30 ans, il laisse derrière lui un univers incroyablement riche et documenté, fruit d'un travail minutieux et acharné. Si on lui doit d'avoir défini le genre que l'on nomme aujourd'hui Sword & Sorcery, il aura également été l'auteur de nombreuses histoires de western, d'horreur et de sport, plus particulièrement sur le thème de la boxe. Société, tu m'auras pas !Contemporain de H.P. Lovecraft, Howard a entretenu avec ce dernier une correspondance aussi soutenue qu'amicale. Et bien qu'ils ne se soient jamais rencontrés, on peut parfois ressentir l'influence de l'un dans le travail de l'autre. Les deux auteurs possèdent pourtant des visions assez différentes du monde qui les entoure. Les écrits de Lovecraft sont le reflet des craintes et des fascinations, souvent complémentaires, de son temps. Ils traduisent sa peur de l'inconnu et son profond mal-être dans une société dont les évolutions le dépassent et le répugnent. Chez Lovecraft, la menace est extérieure, étrangère, tandis que Howard, lui, dépeint plutôt des civilisations qui, autrefois luxuriantes, sont sur le déclin. Dans ses récits, le monde s'effondre de l'intérieur. Si cela renvoie, comme chez Lovecraft, à une peur du changement, on peut y voir de façon plus pragmatique les inquiétudes d'un Américain moyen dans un pays qui fait face à une crise économique sans précédent tandis que l'ombre de la guerre se fait plus menaçante que jamais en Europe… De ce point de vue, les histoires de Robert E. Howard gardent une valeur intemporelle qui leur permet d'être encore très pertinentes aujourd'hui. Le lecteur peut facilement s'identifier à ses personnages, généralement des héros solitaires, évoluant dans des cités décadentes gangrenées par le crime et les croyances occultes, et inévitablement amené à user de la violence pour survivre dans un monde de plus en plus cruel. Quand chez Lovecraft, la vérité paraît être l'ultime menace qui rend fou quand on lui fait face, Howard voit surtout le danger dans l'autre. Dans ses récits, aider son prochain peut vous permettre de trouver un allié qui vous épaulera pour survivre dans un monde hostile, ou vous conduire à votre perte.  En ce sens, les univers de Robert E. Howard et de Richard Corben ne pouvaient que se rencontrer. Dans Bloodstar, on suit le périple du personnage du même nom, guerrier d'une tribu d'Aesirs qui va devoir surmonter de nombreuses épreuves. Entre de sanglantes guerres tribales, des bêtes sauvages affamées et son amour impossible pour la femme promise à son nouveau chef, qui l'amènera à être exilé, Bloodstar n'aura de cesse de prouver sa bravoure et sa dévotion envers les personnes qu'il aime, jusqu'à un ultime affrontement avec une effroyable créature surgie des profondeurs de la Terre. Au fil des pages, Richard Corben esquisse une désolation onirique, un monde futuriste sauvage qui, un peu comme dans Hawkmoon de Michael Moorcock, a régressé après une succession de cataclysmes et dans lequel l'être humain cède à ses pulsions les plus barbares. Dans ces paysages farouches et anxiogènes, l'artiste n'est pas un explorateur, c'est un guide : à travers ses jeux d'ombres et de lumières, il nous emporte dans un univers dont la poésie n'a d'égal que la brutalité et on comprend très vite que personne ne peut y vivre en sécurité très longtemps. Il existe cependant plusieurs différences entre la nouvelle originale de Howard et son adaptation par Richard Corben, principalement parce que Corben développe beaucoup plus le caractère des personnages secondaires et ajoute une véritable romance entre Bloodstar et Helva, qui n'était même pas nommée dans La Vallée du Ver. L'aspect post-apocalyptique du récit est également un ajout propre à Bloodstar, même s'il rejoint la pensée collapsologiste de Howard et respecte sa vision des dérives sociétales, des difficultés de la vie en communauté à l'impact de l'homme sur son environnement. Bloodstar, c'est aussi une histoire d'héritage. Là où le héros de la nouvelle de Robert E. Howard semblait se souvenir de ses vies passées le temps d'un songe, Richard Corben transpose cette notion dans une relation père-fils inachevée, une brillante synthèse de la façon dont les mythes classiques ont inspiré la littérature populaire, qui a elle-même nourri la bande dessinée. Une thématique d'autant plus symbolique quand on sait que cette œuvre, vendue par son premier éditeur comme l'un des tous premiers romans graphiques, aurait pu tomber dans l'oubli et ne jamais nous parvenir. Il aura en effet fallu près de dix ans pour réunir et restaurer les planches de Corben afin d'offrir une réédition digne de ce nom à Bloodstar. Un travail opiniâtre de Laurent Lerner, José Villarrubia et de toute l'équipe de Delirum, pour redonner vie à cette œuvre, quatre décennies après son édition française en couleurs chez les Humanoïdes Associés, dans une version en noir et blanc plus respectueuse de ce que Richard Corben considérait comme l'un de ses travaux préférés. L'ouvrage est complété par une préface de François Truchaud, traducteur spécialiste de Robert E. Howard, malheureusement décédé en 2020, tout comme Richard Corben. On trouve également en fin de volume une galerie de planches originales qui régalera les amateurs du style inimitable de l'artiste. La démarche de préservation du patrimoine de la bande dessinée cultivée par Delirium est essentielle et elle trouve un véritable écho auprès du lectorat, en témoigne le succès du financement participatif sur KissKissBankBank qui a collecté plus de dix fois la somme de son objectif initial pour la réédition du livre. Un héritage culturel et artistique, voilà ce qu'est Bloodstar. Un témoignage du lien naturel existant entre les pulps et les comics, et de la portée universelle du message qui peut être contenu dans toute fiction, au-delà des genres et des formats. Sans s'afficher comme une œuvre revendicatrice, le Bloodstar de Richard Corben porte des valeurs héritées des maîtres de la science-fiction et du fantastique tout en entraînant le lecteur dans un voyage qui invite à la réflexion sur notre monde et sur son évolution. Si vous voulez soutenir Delirium et son impressionnant travail éditorial, le mieux à faire est d'aller directement passer commande sur leur site !N'hésitez pas à partager cet épisode sur les réseaux sociaux s'il vous a plu !

Due giochi basati sulla storia recente dell’umanità, e due giochi dedicati invece al puro, classico mondo fantasy. Corsa allo spazio (Leaving Earth), un’epica storia fantasy (Sword & Sorcery), stregoni di un classico cult (Mage Knight) e uno dei migliori giochi di ruoli nascosti mai prodotto (Secret Hitler). Anche questa settimana allacciate le cinture che si parte, questo è il Dunwich Buyers Club! L’episodio in dettaglio: Banda ci porta dentro a un periodo storico ben preciso, l’era dei primi uomini nello spazio e della conquista della luna, una gemma di gioco che vi metterà nei panni di scienziati alla ricerca del primato in quest’era di conquiste. Da un piccolo razzo fino alla conquista di Marte, tutto questo è Leaving Earth by Lumenaris. Per Mac, compito arduo: spiegare un gioco complesso e articolato come Sword & Sorcery by Ares Games, un vero e proprio mastodonte americano pieno di storie, azione, avventura. Tutto Vai all'episodio

Dream Tower Media is proud to present its first audiobook, a full dramatization of the mysterious sword and sorcery adventure, The Blue Lamp, by Robert Zoltan. Part of his Rogues of Merth series, The Blue Lamp features the recurring reluctant adventurers, the poet swordsman Dareon Vin, and his Indari warrior companion whom he has nicknamed Blue (his real tribal name is a secret known only to his tribe). The dramatization is produced by Dream Tower Media, with music by composer and songwriter Robert Szeles (Kiss the Girl Music), promotional illustrations by Zoltan, and the voice talent of Robert Zoltan and Danita Bayer. Go to Dream Tower Media to purchase your own copy of The Blue Lamp and sign up for the newsletter to receive news about more upcoming exciting productions. The Blue Lamp was first published in Heroic Fantasy Quarterly. Here is some of the glowing praise from editors and magazine reviewers: Adrian Simmons of Heroic Fantasy Quarterly: “Adventure fiction in the classic style, Zoltan’s tale will take you from the mundane and into a world of magic and mystery not seen since the glory days of the pulps.” Fletcher Vredenburgh of Black Gate Magazine: A (SPOILER), a (SPOILER), and an eerie blue lamp figure in Robert Zoltan’s very fun and self-illustrated, “The Blue Lamp.” For any fan of Sword & Sorcery, those three things should be enough to make you read the story. We know what we like and when we seen it we flock to it like, well, moths.” Nicky Magas of Tangent Online: “…the prose, the dialogue, and characters do their part smoothly and come together to give the lesson that two swords are always better than one.” The Story Goes Something Like This… When Blue goes missing in the city of Merth for two days, Dareon’s search for his friend leads him to Ravel’s Exquisite Emporium, where he becomes prey to an unusual predatory salesman. Meanwhile, Blue fights for his life and perhaps his very soul, with the aid of Malika, a dancer from Khulan, against an otherworldly foe that seems omnipotent. When is danger the safest path? How can you become victorious in a fight you cannot win? Join Dareon and Blue and find out, in The Blue Lamp!

Wir reden wieder übers Geschichtenerzählen und Rollenspielen und betrachten diesmal das Genre Sword & Sorcery genauer. Für alle die diese Variante von Fantasy noch nicht kennen, beleuchten wir das Genre dahinter und erörtern was es so einzigartig macht. Darüber hinaus haben wir ein paar Inspirationsquellen aus Film, Comic und Computerspielen, diskutieren mit welchen RPG Systemen man Sword & Sorcery am besten spielen kann, und warum es sich gut als Setting für Erzählspiele eignet.

We return to Wilhelm's FATE based Sword & Sorcery game as a pair of adventurers face specters, madmen, a mysterious ferryman, and man-eating lizards. Character sheets, Wilhelm initial hack, and links can be found on the Forum.
