Blandt de kommende album titler på engelsk fra det engelske forlag Cinebook finder vi en rigtig euroklassiker, “Boule et Bill” (da. “Bulder og Hans Hund”), af belgieren Roba. En sød, øjenvenlig serie, der kan appellere til børn og voksne med sans for god tegneseriekunst.
Interpresse havde fin fornemmelse for det euroklassiske og de udgav på dansk følgende albums:
1977: BULDER OG HANS HUND 1. Bulder og hans hund Mozart
1978: BULDER OG HANS HUND 2. Bulder og Mozarts spilopper
1979: BULDER OG HANS HUND 3. Far, Mor, Bulder og mig
1980: BULDER OG HANS HUND 4. Et hundeliv
1982: BULDER OG HANS HUND 5. Rundt på jorden
Og her er første bind fra Cinebook:
Paperback
Authors: Jean Roba
Age: 8 years and up
Size: 21.7 x 28.7 cm
Number of pages: 48 colour pages
Publication: June 2009
Together, Billy and Buddy get up to all sorts of mischief, gently tormenting those around them. The family setting is overflowing with love and tenderness, and the duo’s pranks are guaranteed to make readers of all ages roar with laughter.
Cinebook bliver ikke distribueret i USA længere. Deres titler vil ikke være at finde i Previews, men jeg vil holde jer orienteret her i bloggen. Især da hvis de trakterer med flere euroklassikere, der er mange gode gamle at tage af.
Og så bliver Robas euroklassiker “Boule et Bill” hyldet med en stor udstilling på næste års Angoulême festival i anledning af seriens 50 års jubilæum.

Half a century lasting, 50 years during which Boule and Bill have conveyed a fresh idea of happiness to their readers.
Since their first appearance, the two heroes created by Jean Roba and revisited today by Verron, have become essential part of the French-Belgian comic strip. Boule, the boy and Bill, his mischievous and endearing cocker spaniel, have lasted during the time and never become obsolete.
Visitors can explore various facets of the series, through its thematic panels presenting the genesis (the author, his influences, the birth of the characters) but also its evolution (the drawing of characters, various products, a gallery of portraits…), the specific universe of the series (the garden, the school, the city, the seaside…), panel games, cartoons, but also a part of the exhibition devoted to the protection of animals in partnership with the SPA (Society for the prevention of cruelty to animals).
