Днес, 14 ноември 2018, се навършват точно 111 години от рождението на всеобщата ни любимка, незабравимата и неповторима Астрид Линдгрен. Отбелязваме този светъл ден със статия, посветена на една по-малко позната част от нейното творчество. Всички сме чели романите и приказките на Астрид Линдгрен, но знаете ли, че нейните герои оживяват и в комиксите? https://knijnikrile.wordpress.com/201...
Не ви върви? Нещо ви е крив деня? Има едно много лесно и простичко решение. Решение с две плитки и достатъчно сила, за да повдигне кон! Тъй че без паника - „Пипи оправя всичко”. За деца и родители, за случайни читатели и заклети ценители, вторият том с оригиналните комикси на Астрид Линдгрен и Ингрид Ванг Нюман е вече и на български, отново с логото на издателство „Пан”. Реставрираната комикс класика от шведското детско списание „Клумпе Думпе” е истинска илюстрована радост! Само тук схватките с побойници и сблъсъците с крадци се редуват с кафе и сметанова торта! Прочетете ревюто на „Книжни Криле”: https://knijnikrile.wordpress.com/202...

The second volume of D+Q's reprint series of Pippi Longstocking comics. I read the first one ages ago, but I recall enjoying it just as much as this one.
Pipi Longstocking was created by Astrid Lindgren in a series of childrens books. Here she continues working with Ingrid Vang Nyman back to bring her iconic creation to the comicbook page. For me, Nyman is just as important as Lindgren to the lasting appeal of Pippi (but I'm not a Pippi scholar by any means).
It's reminiscent of John Stanley (in that it's hilarious to this day) but has more of an outsider feel to the artwork. A very flat paper-cutout look to it.
I usually complain about garish colors, but it kind of works here actually. I'd still like to see a treatment similar to what D+Q did with their Stanley reprints (the earlier ones designed by Seth) but this is a lot of fun to look at.
Honestly, my only knowledge of Pippi comes from the 90s (?) TV show that I caught a few times as a child. I got the jist of the character, here there's a sorta sad element of her being an unwanted orphan that I think was missing in the show. She's more like a super-hero in the show, here it's more her imagination. She's a child that had to grow up too quick to fend for herself. The comparisons to Peter Pan are apt.
Well worth reading for comic book fans! The mid 20th century Swedish comic scene that D+Q is unearthing for me is just lovely.

The outrageous Pippi maybe doesn't wear very well-- she wasn't as funny to me as she was when I was young. But the illustrations in this edition pep the whole thing up, and what reader of our generation can resist seeing Pippi tackle the robbers, go to a party, or at long last get to see her Papa again?

GN version of the Pippi stories illustrated by the original Pippi illustrator. The original books are way better.

Enkel och kort men ändå rolig liten bilderbok i form av en serietidning nästan.

Strange but fun... until the children play with guns and the colonialist father shows up. Outdated; do not recommend.

Pippi is a wonderful and fun filled character in this entertaining book and all of the others in the series are great as well.

THE FABULOUS 1950S PIPPI COMICS – FIRST TIME IN ENGLISH
With her orange splayed braids and super human strength, Pippi Longstocking is a character that always intrigued me. That is, until as a kid I tried watching her movies, which were too stilted and folksy for my liking, and which turned me off to reading her books. But that all changed when I came across Pippi Fixes Everything, Drawn and Quarterly’s second volume of Pippi comics that were originally published in a Swedish magazine in the 1950s.
From its eye-catching cover to its humorous, quirky and charming stories, I realize the problem was all in the translation. Written by Pippi’s creator Astrid Lindgren, Pippi Fixes Everything shows Pippi as a mischievous yet good-natured young girl who throws bullies in the air, beats up burglars who sneak into her house, carries her horse over her head, and saves her best friends Annika and Tommy from a burning building. The book, simple yet wonderfully whimsical, is intended for children but just as fun for adults. It is beautifully illustrated by Pippi’s original artist Ingrid Vang Nyman, and is the farthest thing from stilted and folksy. I can’t wait to get my hands on D&Q’s first volume, Pippi Moves In, and any future Pippi books they put out. – Carla Sinclair

I love Pippi Longstocking so I was eager to read this graphic novel version of some of Pippi's adventures. I finished it disappointed though. The pacing is awkward and I'm not sure if that's an issue tied to translation or more a sign that Pippi's story doesn't work as well in this format.
Each episode is funny enough and despite the awkward pacing Pippi's character still shines brightly. Every tale seems to end on a jokey note like plenty of run-of-the-mill sitcoms do on television.
The artwork is vivid and reminds me of the Sunday comics. I didn't necessarily like it, though I didn't dislike it either.
I think I'll continue to recommend the Pippi novels to young readers as opposed to these graphic novels. Pippi's world is a fabulous one in which to live in one's imagination and these graphic novels just don't provide enough detail or atmosphere that readers will have the same enchanting experience that the novels offer.

Komiksowe wydanie przygód Pippi z bardzo prostymi ilustracjami. Pippi pokazuje w nich, że jest najsilniejszą dziewczynką na świecie, ale ma zarazem dobre serce. Nie zrobi nikomu specjalnie krzywdy, potrafi być bardzo bohaterska i dba o swoich przyjaciół. Bardzo chciałaby się dla nich zmienić, przynajmniej na chwilę, ale i tak nic z tego nie wychodzi, bo natura Pippi jest nieujarzmiona. Hojne gesty przeplatają się z psotami. Szlachetne pobudki z codzienną zaradnością. Dziewczynka jest nieodrodną córką swojego ojca - może być zarazem afrykańską księżniczką i zwyczajną uczennicą, mieszkać dokładnie tak jak chce i trzymać pod dachem konia i małpkę. Mieć czas zawsze i wszędzie, by pokazać swoim przyjaciołom, jak w dzieciństwie tworzy się najważniejsze wspomnienia dla całego dorosłego życia.

2nd installment of these delightful Pippi comics from the 50s! Very 50s but perfectly capture the nuance of Lindgren's stories and the always delightfully subversive Pippi!

More strangeness. More familiar stories. Liked the first collection a little bit better than this one.
