Les Campbell #1
Inferno
Véritable légende de la piraterie, Campbell s'est retiré des affaires après le meurtre de sa femme pour élever ses filles en paix, loin des souvenirs douloureux de son passé. Mais celui-ci finit par le rattraper en la personne de Carapepino, pirate imbécile prêt à tout pour avoir les faveurs de l'infâme Inferno, un pirate redouté et redoutable qui n'est autre que l'assassin impuni de la mère d'Itaca et de Genova. Hanté par son passé et ses actes, Inferno désire être débarrassé une fois pour toutes de Campbell. Ce dernier, obligé de fuir, trouve refuge avec ses filles dans une communauté de lépreux. Mais la confrontation paraît inéluctable. Or les liens qui unissent Campbell et Inferno semblent plus complexes qu'il n'y paraît...

The art and story are reminiscent of a 60's era Disney movie. It's full of adventure, danger, and intrigue.
Campbell is a semi-retired pirate raising his 2 daughters after his wife was killed. Meanwhile, there are several other factions on the lookout for the Campbell family. I was intrigued enough to be on the lookout for future volumes.
Received a review copy from Europe Comics and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Campbell is a widower raising two daughters in the middle of scenary of pirates, battles, sharks, islands, corsaries and memories of a lost mother.
Adventure for all ages. Narrated in short episodes is really a delightful reading.
The eldest daughter love to read and her vocabulary is extense, the youngest is full of mischief , and live to tease her sister. Dad is doing rather well with ingenuity in a dangerous time, but is haunted by memories. There is also a gallery of colorful characters.
The bad thing... where is the next volumen? I want to know what happen next and the rest of the story.

The art is very attractive, but the story is mostly a series of gags and jokes--jokes which may not have survived the translation. I would have enjoyed it more if there were fewer pages to set up jokes and more pages that moved the narrative forward.

Inferno es el primer tebeo de una serie de cinco, sobre una familia de piratas. Desde un punto de vista argumental, introduce los personajes principales y, en un par de flahbacks, deja ver que la historia pasada va a ser relevante para entender el momento actual en que se encuentran. Los dibujos son divertidos, con estilo de dibujos animados. Es un libro muy divertido y se lee rápido.

Jetzt ein Schiff, Tuch ins Haar knoten und den Säbel schärfen! Ich bin bereit für das Piratenleben 🌊⚓️
Ich fand Piraten schon immer cool in Büchern und Filmen und ich mag sie auch in Comicform 😁 Kurzweilig mit viel Humor, temporeicher Action und tollen Charakteren!

I received this graphic novel in exchange for an honest review.
I was scrolling through NetGalley looking for something quick and easy to read which brought me to Inferno. The cover is really well done and the rest of the artwork is just as good. The storyline was cute and kept my attention as well. Parts of the story even tugged on my heart strings.
I wish there was more to this book though. The ending left me wanting more and more so I really hope that there is a next in the series.
All in all, this was a cute graphic novel that was able to tug on my heart strings. I will definitely continue on in this series when available.

Un dibujo muy agradable y una historia que te sacará bastantes risas. Puede parecer para niños pero cuidadin

The fun starts on the title page, with a funny image of a pirate swinging on a rope with his kids hanging on for dear life behind him. That sets the scene nicely. Actually it starts on the cover, because for a few seconds I seriously thought that was Bruce Campbell.
The way we get background is with the brother reading his older sister’s journal. Had no idea pirate kids are generally no different than suburban kids, especially when it comes to school.
The smartest character is the head leper.
“Lovedumbefied!” I like when they invent new words.
I can totally hear Bruce Campbell’s voice saying the girl’s name: Nutel-la. Though sometimes the look is more Billy Campbell. The artwork is cartoonish, with no attempt to be realistic. There’s silly dialogue and juvenile humor. One of the pirates is named Carapepino, which translates to Cucumber Face.
Too many plots, too many pirates, but it’s kinda likeable.

'Inferno (The Campbells #1)' by Jose Luis Munuera is an adventure comic about an ex-pirate and his family. I couldn't help but feel that this was somehow in the middle of the story.
Campbell was once a fierce pirate. He had a wife and two daughters. Then his wife was killed and he was left to raise his two daughters. So he disappeared and everyone thought he was gone, until he showed up again. Now a pirate named Inferno is out to find him and do away with him and his daughters.
The story starts and I felt like we were supposed to know all about Campbell, but flashbacks helped to fill in the story. The story ends on a bit of a cliffhanger, so just be prepared for that. The art is pretty good for an adventure comic like this.

Three and a half stars for what is a slightly superior pirate adventure yarn for the young readers of comic books. There is a fair bit that is right about this - a pleasantly convoluted story, with multiple teams of pirates swapping sides and allegiance, a crocodile ridden as a getaway vehicle, and Asterix-styled word-play on character names, but I think it could have gone further. The artwork is fine until it gets to the action scenes when it's pretty much a mess, with its juvenile, caricaturish cartoon style (which amongst other effects fails to let you know we're dealing with girls at the beginning), and it clearly isn't complete without further books in the series (which has reached four parts so far in the original French, and seems to have finished at that). Still, as far as this goes it is harmless fun.

The first half of this book was a bit rough. It could be the difference of culture but I struggled with the story - it just wasn't connecting with me. The second half, though, went by way too fast.
The art is decent. I wish the lettering was a bit more clearer but the overall art was engaging and colorful.
The one thing about this story is there is a lot of build-up and then it's over. I would like to have seen it a bit longer just to give me a sense of the story before it was over. I'm not sure there was enough there to stick in my mind when I go looking for a new book.

Campbell est un pirate renommé...et un père de famille. Pas facile de jongler travaille/famille sans mettre en danger ses deux pirates de filles Genova et Itaca. Il doit élever ses filles seul après la mort de sa femme tout en combattant ses ennemis. Cette BD pour les 12 ans et plus est bon un mélange entre l'aventure et l'humour. J'ai une petite préférence pour les personnages de Genova et Itaca, elles sont très drôles.

The beginning of a fun and entertaining family pirate saga in graphic novel form, The Campbells has some cool illustrations and typical but witty text. This installment includes a cast of characters that will win over most readers and a plot that will bring fans back for more.

Single dad pirate with his two daughters going through different adventures. There was a lot of jumping between places and times but at the end it all made sense and came together. I had a few laugh out loud moments (the little sister is amazing) and felt entertained from beginning to end. I also liked the art work. Looking forward to read more!

En la mejor tradicion del Bandé Dessine de linea clara nos llega esta divertida aventura en la que Campbell,su protagonista, no tendra bastante ejecutando su venganza personal contra su ex capitan,sino que debera lidiar con su propia tripulacion:sus propias hijas a las que a tenido que cuidar solo desde la madre de estas.

Des pirates, une famille, beaucoup d'humour, quelques hommages ici et là, mais aussi les prémices d'un drame et d'une intrigue captivante dont on sent qu'elle va se corser dans les tomes suivants.
Vite, la suite !

[Review van volledige reeks (Albums 1-5: Inferno - De Drie Vloeken)]
Ik kende Munuera al van een paar andere dingen die hij op zijn cv heeft staan: hij heeft onder andere ook aan een paar strips van Robbedoes en Kwabbernoot meegewerkt en maakt ook de Zwendel-spinoffs.
Deze reeks, over de piratenfamilie Campbell, was zijn eerste wapenfeit waar hij zowel de tekeningen als het scenario maakt. De tekeningen zijn overduidelijk van hem inderdaad, ze zijn erg herkenbaar voor wie al andere dingen van hem gelezen heeft. Het is wel een erg uitzonderlijke stijl, dus hier moet je voor te vinden zijn of niet. Mij spreekt het wel aan.
En ook het verhaal is best te pruimen. Het is erg origineel, spannend en onvoorspelbaar. Er zitten een paar knappe plotwendingen in. En vijf albums is wel een goede lengte, feitelijk. Het is niet meteen gedaan, maar het blijft ook niet aanslepen. Er zitten aangename personages in en geweldige humor. Al speelt dit verhaal zich een paar honderd jaar geleden af, Munuera steekt er hedendaagse grappen in - die dus ook totaal niet in de context passen - maar je desondanks hardop doen lachen. Dat moet je kunnen.
Er zijn maar een paar nadelen aan. Ten eerste, enkele personages lijken nogal op elkaar en het duurt dus een tijdje voor je weet wie nu eigenlijk wie is. En ten tweede, al is de afwisseling met flashbacks een interessante manier om alles over te brengen, het is soms best lastig om te zien waar - en wanneer - je nu weer juist bent. Is dit het heden? Een paar jaar geleden? Twintig jaar geleden?
Een paar dingetjes hadden dus een beetje anders gekund. Maar het is wel een leuke reeks.
7,9/10

El artista murciano José Luis Munuera es siempre una caja de sorpresas con cada álbum que presenta al público. Recientemente ha sorprendido a los lectores de BD con Sortilegios, una serie fuertemente inspirada en la tradición folclórica de los cuentos y ahora tenemos entre manos Los Campbell, una serie de aventuras, humor y piratas que recurre a la extensa tradición del género para presentarnos personajes carismáticos, situaciones muy divertidas y multitud de homenajes al género –tanto de aventuras como de la propia BD, con versión pirata de los hermanos Dalton incluida–. En el centro de todo, una familia con una larga trayectoria de piratería y abordajes, Los Campbell, cuyo cabeza de familia se ha tenido que hacer cargo de sus dos hijas tras la muerte de su esposa: una adolescente que gusta de la lectura y una niña pequeña revoltosa que gusta de las travesuras.

17/20 - En bref, j'ai aimé les dessins qui nous permettent de nous imaginer sans peine chaque scène qui se déroule devant nos yeux et bien évidemment l'humour bien présent malgré un côté plus sérieux parfois. Une BD qui à la fois fait voyager, donne le sourire et surtout l'envie de passer plus de temps avec tout ce beau monde !
