Seoul 1988 - 30 years on...

[Spectrus]

I have no idea whether Italy will produce a saga for the Olympic Winter Games (they typically do for summer games) but if there are any plans from IDW to finally publish what is generally recognized as one of Scarpa's best and most important stories (https://inducks.org/s.php?c=I+TL+1705-AP ), this would be the right time since a) it's 30 years since 1988, b) there are Olympic Games in South Korea and c) North Korea has been in the news so often recently.



The big problem, of course, would be that it requires inducks.org/story.php?c=I+TL+1317-AP to be printed before, but that's only 70 pages...

I remember reading that story! It was pretty good!

I have this story too. It's a shame it has never been translated, because it's very nice to have a story set in Korea and exploring Korean culture, which is already rare in popular fiction (and even rarer in Disney comics).

The "Paperoid" saga also needs a localization.

I agree. I loved that story as a child (read it in German). Would like to see it in English. Fingers crossed.

It also contains one of the best allegorical depictions of big political drama I've ever seen in a Disney comic. Scarpa really did a great job at lamenting the state of affairs without taking a side or placing much blame.
