Ythaq 01-09

And here you go, a little gem from Alice, her scanlation of Ythaq 7-9, along with Marvels version of Ythaq 1-6.
Ythaq is one of the great european sci-fi comics, I rate it on the top 5, below Wake, Valerian and Laureline and The Chimpanzee Complex.


There have been several versions of this series out in english:

Originally JJ translated all 9 albums of the series, the last 3 just before he retired. That version have been upped before, under the name "The Shipwrecks of Ythaq".

Marvel released 2 series of 3 albums each under the Soleil imprint, then dropped the series, thus leaving it unfinished, missing the last 3 albums. The volume splitting made no sense, since it can NOT be read as seperate volumes, the main history require all 9 albums.

And now Alice decided to work on Ythaq, and she decided to do 7 and onwards, continuing from the Marvel version, and making sure the names fit what was used in Marvels version.


A luxurious cruise vessel crashes on Ythaq, a planet that, curiously, isn’t on any charts. Among the survivors, a young intrepid astro-navigation officer, a poet technician, and a pretty passenger. Tracked by merciless mercenaries, they will discover a medieval world inhabited by people and creatures with surprising customs. But were they shipwrecked by accident? What terrible secret lies behind the golds and purples of Ythaq’s palaces?
