Fazekas' Pharaoh

Another Classic Hungarian Comic from Attila Fazekas, translated to ENG... Title: Pharaoh AKA: Year: 1977 Original title: A fáraó Pages: 34 Country: Hungary Language: English scanlation Genre: Comics - history, adaptation Written by: Tibor Cs. Horváth Drawn by: Attila Fazekas Plot / Synopsis: Pharaoh (Polish: Faraon) is the fourth and last major novel by the Polish writer Bolesław Prus (1847–1912).

Composed over a year\'s time in 1894–95, it was the solehistorical novel by an author who had earlier disapproved of historical novels on the ground that they inevitably distort history. Perhaps the chief lesson, belatedly absorbed by Ramses as pharaoh, is the importance, to power, of knowledge. Prus\' vision of the fall of an ancient civilization derives some of its power from the author\'s intimate awareness of the final demise of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth in 1795, a century before the completion of the novel. Preparatory to writing Pharaoh, Prus immersed himself in ancient Egyptian history, geography, customs, religion, art and writings. In the course of telling his story of power, personality, and the fates of nations, he produced a compelling literary depiction of life at every level of ancient Egyptian society. Further, he offers a vision of mankind as rich as Shakespeare\'s, ranging from the sublime to the quotidian, from the tragic to the comic. The book is written in limpid prose and is imbued with poetry, leavened with humor, graced with moments of transcendent beauty. Pharaoh has been translated into twenty languages and adapted as a 1966 Polish feature film. It is also known to have been Joseph Stalin\'s favourite book.

Fazekas' Star Wars

Attila Fazekas is a Hungarian képregény (comic) artist who got his start in the 1970s. In 1982, he published an unlicensed two-part adaptation of Star Wars with scripts by Tibor Cs. Horváth. Remarkably, over 300,000 copies each were sold in this country of 10.71 million people and by some accounts, this "was the most popular comic book of all times ever published and sold" in Hungary. Artist Attila Fazekas began adapting the Star Wars films in 1982, working off the screenplays, as well as countless theater viewings. That caused the illustrations to either be incredibly accurate or slightly generic. About 300,000 to 500,000 copies of the Hungarian comic book versions of Star Wars and The Empire Strikes Back were sold in the country. But Marvel Comics, which had the license at the time to publish Star Wars comics, found about them and forced the artists to stop before The Return of the Jedi could be adapted.
