Der USAGI-Stammtisch (deutsch)

[TigerRider]

Hallo Leute,

ich finde die Idee lustig, hier im UY-Forum auch mal in der Heimatsprache babbeln zu können. Und für die Mitglieder aus den anderen Ländern ist es womöglich auch lustig? Wenn sie es durch den googletranslator jagen?

In der Usagi-Ecke im deutschen comicforum läuft ja grade auch eine nette Gesprächsrunde u.a. zu den Themen SAGA vs. TPB, Nachkaufen von alten Ausgaben und ob USAGI einen Standardspruch drauf hat, so wie Hellboys "Crap!".... Wen es interessiert, der kann ja mal dort vorbei schauen.


Liebe Grüße

What do you think it costs to ship one comic from Germany? That can't be cheap.

[TigerRider]

I contacted the publisher, Josch Dantes, to get an answer to that question.

IF it won't be possible for him to ship to the U.S. I'm sure we'll find a way to feed the hungry USAGI-in-german-readers.

No, they will fill in the gap in the books that Schwarzer Turm released. Hopefully they will be successful enough that they do pick up after book 14 later on.

Carlsen released books 1 - 5 starting in April 1996.

Schwarzer Turm released books 8 - 13 beginning in October 2001, as well as re-releasing books 1 - 4 starting in January 2004.

Dantes will re-release book 5 this month, then they will release a volume which combines books 6 and 7 in March 2017, which has stories that have never been translated into German before.

Of course, the German editions are of a different format than the English editions and the German books 1, 2, 3 (etc.) do not correspond directly to the original English editions.

Book 5 from Dantes will contain the following stories:

- The Return of the Blind Sword
- The Blade of the Gods
- The Tea Cup
- The Shogun's Gift (previously unpublished in German)
- Turtle soup and Rabbit Stew (previously unpublished in German)

Book 6/7 will contain the complete Dragon's Bellow Conspiracy story.....

Der Readers,
Steve, thank you very much for the clarification on content.

Before paypal, i was fortunate to connect with Michael Moeller at Schwarzer Turm.
He would send me the books as they were published and i would send him concealed usa cash with enough for book, postage and a tasty drink for Michael. It was a wonderful international cooperation.
Are sure the postage to the usa is free?
The German post office is great.
I once bought a book on eBay from a seller in Germany who said they sent it by ship.
Germany to California in 3 days! I think they used a space ship.
Vielen dank !

Mein Exemplar der "Klinge der Götter" ist heute gekommen: Gefällt mir.

Das Papier ist interessanterweise sehr glatt, der Druck schön gestochen scharf, Farbgeruch unauffällig, mMn.
Übersetzung und Lettering passen.
Fügt sich im Regal fast nahtlos in die Schwarzer-Turm-Sammlung ein. "Fast", weil das Schwarz des Buchrückens etwas weniger schwarz ist (Zumindest bei meinem Exemplar). Aber so etwas zu 100% deckungsgleich hinzubekommen ist wahrscheinlich eh unmöglich. Mich stört es nicht.

Den nächsten Band werde ich mir auch bestellen.

Today I received No5 "Die Klinge der Götter". I like it.

The paper is pretty smooth, the print sharp and dark.
The translation and lettering are well done.
It fits almost perfect into the "Schwarzer-Turm-collection" although the spine ot the book is bit less black than the other ones are.

I'll order the next one, too.

Greetings
Jens
