Americans and Brits are interesting characters for comics :)
And what about legendary spaghetti western movies?
- foobarian 6y agoMartin Misterija, Blek Stena, heh legends. "Sto mu gromova!" Edit: also Dylan Dog.
- toyg 6y agoWhere does "sto mu gromova!" come from? Google Translate is not helping me, is it something like "thousand devils!" ( per mille diavoli! ), which I think was a typical Zagor or Tex exclamation?
- foobarian 6y agoI think it's a Serbian exclamation, possibly archaic, literally it's "hundred thunderbolts!" but in American slang I think "You don't say!" or "What the heck!" are the closest in meaning for me. The Serbian translation of Marty Mystere used it liberally to the point that if you used it in speech people would get you were making a comicbook reference.
- toyg 6y agoAh, for Martin Mystère it would have likely been his trademark Diavoli dell'inferno! in Italian ("hell's devils!"). Most characters created in Italy by Sergio Bonelli Editore (Mystère, Dylan Dog, Tex, etc) have a typical exclamation like that. I'm gonna start using that serbian version for fun with Italian friends =D
