Bouncer #3
Slangernes retfærd
Ved daggry den morgen, hvor Barro Citys bøddel skal hænge kannibalen Ogre Jim, bliver han fundet død i sit soveværelse, dræbt af en grøn kobraslange. For at hængningen kan gennemføres, må en ny bøddel findes. Byens førende mænd beslutter at trække lod om, hvem der skal opfylde sin borger-pligt og påtage sig hvervet. Bouncer, den enarmede udsmider fra 'Infierno Saloon' taber lodtrækningen og er dermed den lille bys 'hangman' ? og foragtet af alle. Men det er ikke ligefrem en ny fornemmelse for ham. Kun Noemi, 'Infierno Saloon?s' bestyrinde, har en vis sympati for Bouncer, og det kommer til at præge hans liv på afgørende vis. Det samme gør magnaten Clark Coopers forsøg på at overtage saloonen. Samt de mord ved hjælp af giftslanger, som bliver ved med at finde sted?
Slangerne retfærd er første del af en ny historie i to bind, som afsluttes i Bouncer nr. 4: Bødlens hævn, som udkommer inden for et år.
Bouncer er skabt af to af den moderne episke tegneseries sværvægtere, forfatteren Alexandro Jodorowsky og tegneren Francois Boucq. I det nye dobbeltbind er der ligesom for sidste års bind 1-2 tale om et særdeles læseværdigt og gennemarbejdet værk med fortættet spænding og storslået grafisk fortællekunst.

PT A primeira parte de uma história dividida em dois volumes.
Jodorowsky e Boucq brindam-nos com mais uma excelente aventura de Bouncer, onde tudo parecia finalmente encaminhar-se para um desfecho feliz… mas a vida, como sempre, sabe bem como nos trocar as voltas.
Um western de grande nível.

A top-notch western.

Bouncer Vol. 3 The Injustice of Serpents is written by Alexandro Jodorowsky and art by Francois Boucq.
The Bounce has unwillingly become the town's hangman. Meanwhile, an outlaw gang tries to bully landowners out if their property.
The art in the book continues to blow me away. It is absolutely gorgeous. This volume brought some hard hitting emotion that looks to be setting up some future encounters.

Western “noir” que decorre após o final da guerra civil americana com personagens duras, selvagens e sanguinárias num território de fronteira com alguns conflitos ainda com os Índios e paisagens típicas do Farwest, com poucas leis e valores e muita violência.
Bouncer é um “maneta” o que o torna num herói bastante improvável para um western em que a habilidade com os punhos e principalmente com o revólver são fundamentais, mas é este também um dos traços distintivos desta saga.
A série desenvolve-se em 12 capítulos/tomos que na edição portuguesa surge em 9 volumes já que nos 3 penúltimos, cada um agrega 2 tomos.
Boa ideia e razoável argumento de Alejandro Jodorowsky já que a maior parte das personagens são unidimensionais e com um maniqueismo demasiado claro, excelentemente acompanhado pelo grafismo vigoroso de François Boucq que se enquadra muito bem no ambiente denso e pesado da história.
Tomo 3 da saga.
Primeira parte de uma aventura (que se conclui no #5) em que Bouncer é bastante injustiçado e tenta repor a justiça contra tudo e contra todos.
Avaliação: 7 / 10

La suite de ce western en bd, une intrigue passionnante, riche et pleine de rebondissements et de flashback, et facile à suivre, des personnages atypiques, et des dessins superbes.
Je dois lire la suite...de cette série de 7 tomes, dont différentes histoires.

Excelente en guión y maravilloso en ilustración.

Oli tässä hetkensä ja taide oli hyvää. Mutta kuitenkin liian ennalta-arvattavaa ja tavanomaista länkkäröintiä.
Ihan jees.

The third volume and the first in a new story arc.
The one-armed hero Bouncer here gets roped in (...) as the hangman of the little western town where he lives, and through such a cliche-ridden story that I have seldom seen anything like it, ends up having to hang his pregnant former wife to be and her long lost, gold digging love. I've written before about Jodorowsky's penchant for cliches and in this volume he really goes all out on that tangent. And as per usual, the women are there as love object, and for the seemingly compulsory rape scene...
What saves this from being a complete disatser is again Boucq's gorgeous art. His realistic yet still often sketchy lines lifts this high above most other album series. And the colouring by Nicolas Fructus is up to the task of adding even more feeling and emotions to the already great art.
Now that I've reached volume three, I must admit that reading these books is turning into a guilty pleasure. The content is so unashamedly macho and misogynic that it makes me cringe, but the art and the visual storytelling is excellent...

Det tredje albumet i Alexandro Jodorowsky och Francois Boucqs westernserie Bouncer påbörjar den andra historien (den första finns publicerad i Kains öga och Bödlarnas medlidande). Här blir Bouncer motvilligt utsedd till bödel i staden, efter sin föregångares plötsliga bortgång (dödad av en orm). Dessa två trådar vävs långsamt ihop genom albumet och löper vidare in i nästa.
Stefan Carlsson står för översättningen i denna volym, och lyfter därmed upp serien till den nivå man kommit att vänta sig av Albumförlagets utgivning.

Otra historia con más muertes e injusticias de las que me gustaría leer, pero tristemente convincente, verosímil y bellísimamente dibujada.
