I’m proud to announce the first publication of a story from The Elephant and Macaw Banner universe in graphic novel format!
The work is an adaptation of the novelette “The Fortuitous Meeting of Gerard van Oost and Oludara”, with script by Christopher Kastensmidt, illustrations by Carolina Mylius, and color by Ursula Dorada (SulaMoon). It is being published in Brazil, in Portuguese, under the title A Bandeira do Elefante e da Arara: O Encontro Fortuito (The Elephant and Macaw Banner: The Fortuitous Meeting).
The book is 112 pages long, with 92 pages of comics, an afterward by Brazilian novelist Roberto de Sousa Causo, a making of, and other extras. Here are a few samples (click to amplify):
Coming soon in English (I hope!)
“A Parlous Battle” continues to spread through the world, this time with a wonderful translation to Romanian: “Lupta crâncenă împotriva monstrului Capelobo“. This is the second time that the Romanian Science Fiction and Fantasy Society (Societatea Română de Science-Fiction şi Fantasy – SRSFF) has published one of the stories.
My sincere thanks to the SRSFF, to editor Cristian Tamas, and to the translator Antuza Genescu.
Gerard van Oost receives his first publication in his native tongue, as SF Terra publishes “The Fortuitous Meeting” in issue number 242 (June 2014) of the magazine.
This marks the sixth country to publish the stories of Gerard and Oludara, and a great honor to be published in this fine magazine.
Special thanks to Paul Buitenhuis for the translation and Petra de Vries for the wonderful illustration.
