AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This little ALAN FORD issue number 142. With stickers.
The Alan Ford issue no. 142, titled “The Talking Shark,” is a very distinctive story from the period when longtime artist Magnus had already been replaced by Paolo Piffarerio, whose style gave the TNT Group a slightly different but nonetheless memorable look and atmosphere.
Here are a few details and interesting facts about the plot and publishing context:
A Brief Plot Summary
• The mission: The TNT Group (the unlikely secret detective agency led by Number One) gets caught up in an absurd maritime adventure.
• The antagonist: The threat centers on a notorious and bizarre shark (the “talking shark”) that gives the issue its title, forcing Alan Ford, loyal Bob Rock, and the other members of the group to come up with one of their usual far-fetched plans to get out of trouble.
• The humor: As in every work by Max Bunker, the story combines social satire, slapstick comedy, and a merciless parody of classic spy and adventure films.
The bonus: “De Luxe Stickers”
The most important collectible feature of this particular issue (highlighted by the fuchsia circle on the cover bearing the words “More De Luxe Stickers”) is the inclusion of die-cut inserts.
• In comics from that period, Editoriale Corno included promotional stickers featuring characters from the series.
