"The Waste Land" by T. S. Eliot, page 1

Ever since completing my comics adaptation of T. S. Eliot’s “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock,” I have wanted to do something similar with Eliot’s most famous and celebrated poem, “The Waste Land.” But besides being extremely complex and often difficult to interpret,”The Waste Land” (First published 1922) is very long, and this always deterred me from getting started. It was only recently that…

Coraline, by Neil Gaiman & P. Craig Russell (Illustrator)

When Coraline steps through a door in her family's new house, she finds another house, strangely similar to her own (only better). At first, things seem marvelous. The food is better than at home, and the toy box is filled with fluttering wind-up angels and dinosaur skulls that crawl and rattle their teeth. But there's another mother there and another father, and they want her to stay and be their little girl. They want to change her and never let her go. Coraline will have to fight with all her wit and all the tools she can find if she is to save herself and return to her ordinary life.

I've been wanting to read the book for a while, and then during my internship I started reading every Neil Gaiman comics I could get my hands on (minus Sandman and his work for DC). I really love the movie so seeing this version of Coraline was weird, but it helped me see them as two separate things, which was a plus. I've got to admit, I don't really remember my reading experience, I only remember liking it a lot and it making me want to rewatch the movie and finally read the book, haha

French version under the cut

Lorsque Coraline passe une porte dans la nouvelle maison de ses parents, elle découvre une autre maison, étrangement semblable à la sienne (mais en mieux). Au début, tout semble merveilleux. La nourriture y est meilleure qu'à la maison, et le coffre à jouets est rempli d'anges mécaniques volants et de crânes de dinosaures qui rampent et claquent des dents. Mais il y existe aussi d'autres parents, copies conformes des vrais avec des boutons cousus à la place des yeux. Coraline devra employer toute son intelligence et tous les outils à sa disposition pour se sauver et retourner à sa vie ordinaire.

Je voulais lire le livre depuis un moment puis pendant mon stage je me suis mise à lire tous les comics de Neil Gaiman auxquels j’avais accès (sauf Sandman et ses comics pour DC). J’aime énormément le film donc voir cette version de Coraline était bizarre, mais ça m’a aidé à les voir comme deux choses séparées, ce qui est un plus. Je vous avoue que je me souviens pas bien de ma lecture, je me souviens juste avoir beaucoup aimé et avoir eu envie de revoir le film et d’enfin lire le livre, haha

Watching adaptation of the book/comics/anything you really like, it’s like reading a new fanfic by somebody fandom-famous: you know, it will be popular, you know that your headcanons will be probably destroyed, you know, that there will be a new discourse and probably some kind of shipping war, BUT fandom will rise and will be alive. And that’s really cool.
