Nemo

Nemo #1-4

by Brüno

Por fortuna ya conocemos a Brüno por dos grandes obras publicadas en nuestro país: Inner City Blues (Glenat) y Biotopo, recientemente publicada por nuestra editorial (Dibbuks). Aunque son bastantes obras suyas las que aun no hemos visto por aquí, estamos seguros que irán llegando todas en breve.

Este álbum narra las aventuras del célebre Capitán Nemo de Julio Verne, bajo la influencia de este autor de comic que no se permite ceder ninguna concesión ni cortapisas a su imaginación. Nemo contra el resto del mundo.

Ned Land, el arponero, el profesor Aronnax y Conseil, su mayordomo, embarcan a la fuerza a bordo del Nautilus, por un periplo que se nos antoja sin retorno.

Esta obra fue editada en Francia, originariamente, en cuatro tomos a color para, posteriormente, recogerse en formato integral y cuadrado en blanco y negro. Pese a que nos maravilla sus dibujos a color, hemos preferido esta versión más austera para apreciar sin artificios este dibujo de línea tan potente a la vez que simple y efectista para la historia que nos cuenta.
¡Disfruten del viaje y vuelvan, si pueden, cuando estén preparados para otra aventura contada por Brüno!

Refresco acertado de la historia del capitán Nemo, con un dibujo enérgico, pero no carente de puntos dulces, que aporta todo un abanico de sentimientos, y mantiene abiertos debates filosóficos sobre la libertad, aparte de los sociales.

Nemo by Brüno is a fairly faithful adaptation of the classic Jules Verne story. Bruno does a fine job interpreting the character and set designs from the original novel. The naval captain, Nemo, is uncompromising and angry at the world above the sea. He finds friendship with a professor joined by his assistant and another survivor.

The comic feels a little rushed with the third act being half the size it should be. Understandably, Brüno does it all aside from the lettering and translation, so adding a dozen or more pages is taxing. I just wish we had more time with the strong and compelling characters and their relationships.

The comic really sings in the art and symbolic lettering. Bruno boldly depicts characters with a fascinating mix of sharp angles and calculated roundness. You understand the characters and their personality just by the way they're drawn, which is a testament to Brüno's artistic ability. The coloring is subtle with simple flats to match the mood and setting of each scene. Bruno plays around with pale blues, bright reds, light yellows, and solid greens. You can see how Bruno illustrates naval lingo with symbols and arrows. It's a clever way to depict what they're saying while playing with the language of comics.

The comic is very good with some fun experimentation. Unfortunately, it feels short. Definitely worth a read, but I'm not sure if it will stay on my shelf.

It probably helps enormously that I don’t know the original because I understand it veers wildly from the book in places, but it’s a wonderful pacy and surprisingly tense book. The art is just phenomenal, as in potentially all time favourite phenomenal. Chunky lines, fluid movement and brilliant expressiveness done in a style so compact and bold it’s incredibly aspirational. And brilliant and controlled use of colour too. I loved this

An awesome adaptation! Brüno’s cartoony art style and occasional symbolic lettering format creates such anticipation for the next panel, it’s extremely hard to put this short book down better devouring it’s complete context.

A very good adaptation of the classic Jules Verne story. The minimalist art style is well executed, even if it often lacks some detail regarding the underwater locations described. Still, this work focuses on characters and the style is great at capturing expressions.
