SUPERDUPONT: THE REVIVAL

aka France can do even capeshit comics better.

...

first page in, we already got nipples. This wouldn't be allowed in American comics.

...

reminds me of the original Xbox commercials.

...

...

...

note how the cosmic ray is NOT the origin of the kids power. It literally only came in to salute the newborn.

what in the fuck

Anyone reading?

Is Superdupond his Bizarro?

>black family has 8 kids

strangely normal in France nowadays.

...

...

The art emulates Gotlibs style so much; but it is hard to notice since it is all coloured.

I think we're all just in utter disbelief.

...

That's completely normal, this comic is that much better than Crisis of the Civil Wars or whatever the fuck is the current summer capeshit crossover.

Man the artwork is fucking great

I mean, if this was a DC comic, then the birth of Supermans son would be an 8-issues crossover sold in 2 months over 5 titles, and would result in the destruction of half of Metropolis.

now that's how you do in-air manoeuvring.

also, 3d supra vision.

now that's one strong contrail.

I love the idea of a France-loving french superhero with the power of Frenchyness. It's so frensh. Does "Dupont" have a special meaning?

uh-oh, here comes the fuzz.

>be flying at supersonic speeds in a military aircraft
>pursue unknown flying object
>it does a 180 turn and hugs your cockpit
>oh, it's nothing, just a baby!

happens every day.

...

and now... Superdupont changes a daiper!

I considered censoring this image for our American readers... should I have done so?

and now, a daring rescue!

The kid is a born hero!

...

And now, Superdupont explains what makes a hero a superhero.

...

...

anyone following the uefa 2016 so far would agree that this could indeed happen.

next chapter: a titanic air rescue!

flying potatoes in the air is a common occurrence in Europe.

But, these are not potatoes! These are icebergs!

guys, remember to bump this if you are reading.

No other superhero has an ultra-sensitive pinky finger.

...

...

This is marvellous.

...

this fucking page.

>Where should I put the plane?
>oh, just throw it over there with the other plane wrecks we have stored right on the airport

5th panel would make a great reaction image; I considered using it as the censor cover.

and remember, don't trust your baby to airheads!

who writes all this crap?!?

...

>Flying potatoes
Shouldnt this be more commonplace in Ireland?

MEANWHILE...

INTRODUCING: THE POPE OF DARKNESS

the scummiest of all scum!

Im sad that they arent all Laughing in an evil "Hon Hon Hon" tone

Those who've read Gotlib comics before can see how this scene, too, emulates his style.

...

last panel would also make a good reaction image.

He doesn't just wear his underwear outside, he wears his entire diaper on the outside.

A haystack made out of needles, that has to be as evil as a Nazi made out of bees.

>Flying potatoes
>Shouldnt this be more commonplace in Ireland?

Technically that's still part of Europe. Or is it not anymore, with the brexit happening?

what a jigsaw of landscapes.

What the fuck is going on?

I think we can all agree here that this is exactly how the lair of the pope of darkness should look like.

>French Shocker

How could my Japanese kids shows be wrong?

>What the fuck is going on?

The bellowed Super-Frenchman of France had his newborn super-son stolen by the Pope of Darkness, trying to corrupt him to evilness. The father, Superdupont, mounts a rescue.

Did he at least fight using Savate style?

I want to know where can you buy weapons that literally fire sound effects.

...

The guy on the bottom is probably a parody of some famous French TV person, knowing how Gotlib comics usually go.

...

...

...

Gotlib is GOAT. The French Harvey Kurtzman. Thanks for doing this. Tis pity next to none of his work is available in English. C'mon, you wimps - they're just puns! Man up!

...

HONEY I'M HOME

...

I wonder what the original pun was on that last panel.

Great last page.

Dupont is one of the most given last name in France, it's like Smith or something

It doesn't help that sometimes there are 8 puns in a single panel, crossing into each other, plus a ton of panels all full of text; and that's just one page in a Gotlib comic.

But seriously, I'd pay to see more Gotlib stuff translated.

...

And there you go - this is how you properly do a capeshit comic.

Neal Adams drew an episode of Superdupont back in the 80s.

le super bump

Thank you for the excellent storytime OP

Is the original Gotlib Superdupont translated?

Sadly, no. Gotlib's Pervers Pépère (Pevert Pappy) got scanlated a year ago and a couple of "Rubrique-a-Brac" episodes got translated by Fantagraphics in the mid-80s...but that's about it.

>Neal Adams drew an episode of Superdupont back in the 80s.

Yes, and what an episode it was.

...

I can kind of understand how nobody would have a single fucking clue as to how one could translate this Gordian knot of a dialogue to English.

...

Communist bacteria is attacking the American wines! oh no!

...

>the police are cowboys

...

You can tell from this page Neal followed Gotlib's layouts perfectly.

>Help!
>I need sombody, help!
>Now just anybody, help!
>You know I need someone, help!

Ouelcome, Catman, Spitterman, Gorgeouswoman, and Captain Godblessjewmerica.

Meanwhile, the theme for Dallas plays in the background.

You can tell on this page too.

There needs to be more collaboration with France/Belgium

Here is Mobius' Silver Surfer

and wonder woman is a whore for the French supercock. who could've guessed it.
