Jeg har tidligere skrevet om de indiske “Lars og Lue” genoptryk i Seriejournalens Forum, men indiske albums er svære at få fat i, så jeg er naturligvis ovenud lykkelig og meget henrykt over, at Egmont Books Ltd i England nu har smidt to bind af “Quick & Flupke” på gaden. Hergés gamle humor serie, “Lars og Lue”, er to gange forsøgt på dansk, men vi har aldrig fået hele serien, og det er i grunden meget mærkeligt, for Hergé har nærmest gude-status blandt danske tegneserie fans, og Tintin albummene har solgt over en million eksemplarer på dansk siden 1960.

Det er dog ikke første gang, at “Lars og Lue” er blevet udgivet i England, for i 1992 udkom der to bind på Mammoth Books:

The first two Quick & Flupke books by Hergé (Jeux Interdits and Tout va Bien) were translated into English by Leslie Lonsdale-Cooper and Michael Turner, who had previously translated The Adventures of Tintin. They were published in 1992 in paperback form by Mammoth, an imprint of Mandarin, which is part of Reed International Books. The text in the English volumes is lettered in a different style from both the French books and the other Hergé books in English.

In January 2008, Euro Books India (a subsidiary of Egmont, UK) released English translations of all 11 titles that were originally written by Hergé. Currently, these are available only in India, although Egmont is gradually releasing them in the UK. The first two were released in 2009; more are due in 2010.
Og kan I ikke få nok af Hergé, har jeg bemærket, at Pierre Assouline’s biografi om mesteren er udgivet på engelsk i USA:
