\"French[FRENCH] Blue Beetle est l\u2019un des super-h\u00e9ros de comic qui a eu le plus d\u2019incarnations. Initialement publi\u00e9 chez le Fox Feature Syndicate jusqu\u2019en 1950 (soit bien apr\u00e8s que la mode des comics de super-h\u00e9ros est \u00e9t\u00e9 pass\u00e9e) rien ne pr\u00e9disposait ce personnage \u00e0 une telle carri\u00e8re. Les premiers \u00e9pisodes sont d\u2019un niveau tr\u00e8s faible (dessins comme sc\u00e9nario). Mais le personnage est un succ\u00e8s qui b\u00e9n\u00e9ficiera m\u00eame d\u2019un comic strip injustement sous-estim\u00e9 (NDLR: voir aussi notre cycle Blue Beetle de 2008 qui d\u00e9taillait les diff\u00e9rentes incarnations du Blue Beetle \u00e0 travers les \u00e2ges:<\/em> page 1<\/a> \/ 2<\/a> \/ 3<\/a> \/ 4<\/a> \/ 5<\/a> \/ 6<\/a><\/strong> ).<\/p>\n

\"BlueBlue Beetle est l\u2019un des personnages les plus paradoxaux du comic field. A la fois important dans l\u2019histoire du Comic, en tant que medium, mais tr\u00e8s mineur en tant que personnage \u00e0 proprement parl\u00e9. Il a en effet travers\u00e9 la quasi totalit\u00e9 de l\u2019histoire du Comic et peut par certains cot\u00e9s m\u00eame \u00eatre compar\u00e9 aux plus grands.<\/p>\n

Blue Beetle est le deuxi\u00e8me personnage de l\u2019histoire du Comic \u00e0 avoir eu un magazine \u00e0 son nom d\u00e9butant au num\u00e9ro 1 (juste apr\u00e8s Superman et Amazing-Man, en sachant que le magazine de ce dernier ne commen\u00e7a pas au num\u00e9ro 1 mais au num\u00e9ro 5). Il est l\u2019un de ceux qui a \u00e9t\u00e9 le plus longtemps publi\u00e9s (de 1939 \u00e0 nos jours avec quelques p\u00e9riodes d\u2019interruption) \u00e0 l\u2019instar de Superman, Batman et Wonder Woman. Il est l\u2019un des rares personnages de comic \u00e0 avoir eu sa propre \u00e9mission de radio (comme Superman) et son propre comic strip (comme Superman, Batman et Wonder Woman). C\u2019est d\u2019ailleurs \u00e0 ce support que nous allons nous int\u00e9resser et ceci pour deux raisons.<\/p>\n

Si Blue Beetle est rest\u00e9 un personnage mineur, c\u2019est en partie \u00e0 cause de la faiblesse artistique des publications dans lesquelles il est apparu en premier. Malgr\u00e9 qu\u2019il soit l\u2019un des personnages vedettes du Fox Features Syndicate (avec The Flame et Samson notamment) il dut se contenter d\u2019artistes de second ordres et de sc\u00e9narios indigents et sans aucune continuit\u00e9. Ceci \u00e0 cause des faibles tarifs offerts par Victor Fox et encore lorsqu\u2019il honorait ses engagements vis \u00e0 vis des artistes.<\/p>\n

\"HurrahUne exception se d\u00e9gage cependant de la production \u00ab\u00a0habituelle\u00a0\u00bb de Blue Beetle. En effet, bien que sign\u00e9 du nom de dessinateur maison \u00ab\u00a0Charles Nicholas\u00a0\u00bb, le comic strip publi\u00e9 dans The Boston Evening Transcript est indubitablement l\u2019\u0153uvre du jeune Jack Kirby (qui rencontra d\u2019ailleurs durant son bref passage chez Fox son comp\u00e8re Joe Simon), ce qui est la premi\u00e8re raisons de notre int\u00e9r\u00eat.<\/p>\n

La deuxi\u00e8me vient du fait que l\u2019int\u00e9gralit\u00e9 de l\u2019\u00e9pisode du comic strip de Blue Beetle dessin\u00e9 par Jack Kirby (et malheureusement fini par Louis Cazeneuve) a \u00e9t\u00e9 publi\u00e9 en fran\u00e7ais avec une particularit\u00e9 tr\u00e8s agr\u00e9able par rapport \u00e0 la version am\u00e9ricaine. C\u2019est dans le num\u00e9ro 251 de l\u2019hebdomadaire Hurrah\u00a0! du 24 mars 1940 qu\u2019appara\u00eet pour la premi\u00e8re fois Blue Beetle en France. Il s\u2019agit d\u2019un num\u00e9ro sp\u00e9cial vacances de p\u00e2ques qui ne contient pas 8 pages comme habituellement mais 16 pages. C\u2019est dans ces pages suppl\u00e9mentaires qu\u2019appara\u00eet Blue Beetle sous le nom du \u00ab\u00a0Fant\u00f4me d\u2019acier\u00a0\u00bb. Il a m\u00eame l\u2019honneur de voir son arriv\u00e9e annonc\u00e9e dans un bandeau de la premi\u00e8re page au cot\u00e9 d\u2019un autre super-h\u00e9ros (Amazing-Man de Centaur Publications qui a \u00e9t\u00e9 renomm\u00e9 Le Surhomme pour l\u2019occasion). Une affiche promotionnelle vantant les qualit\u00e9s du personnage a m\u00eame \u00e9t\u00e9 distribu\u00e9e aux kiosquiers.<\/p>\n

Le num\u00e9ro 251 de Hurrah\u00a0! marque un tournant dans l\u2019histoire des traductions fran\u00e7aises de super-h\u00e9ros, celui de la diversit\u00e9. En effet, jusqu\u2019\u00e0 cette date le seul super-h\u00e9ros traduit en langue fran\u00e7aise \u00e9tait Superman (sous l\u2019appellation de \u00ab\u00a0Marc l\u2019hercule moderne\u00a0\u00bb dans Le Journal de Spirou et \u00ab\u00a0Yordi\u00a0\u00bb dans l\u2019hebdomadaire Aventures de la S.A.G.E. tous les deux depuis mars 1939 des deux c\u00f4t\u00e9s du Qui\u00e9vrain). Il y a fort \u00e0 parier que c\u2019est en parti le succ\u00e8s de Superman en France qui a pouss\u00e9 le groupe des Editions Mondiales (de l\u2019\u00e9diteur Cino Del Duca) \u00e0 \u00e9diter des bandes \u00ab\u00a0concurrentes\u00a0\u00bb de super-h\u00e9ros.<\/p>\n

\"Le<\/p>\n

Il ne marque malheureusement pas un tournant dans la fid\u00e9lit\u00e9 au nom des personnages. Comme nous l\u2019avons d\u00e9j\u00e0 indiqu\u00e9 (French Collection #1) les traducteurs de comic avait les plus grandes difficult\u00e9s avec les noms des personnages. Blue Beetle n\u2019\u00e9chappa pas \u00e0 la r\u00e8gle en \u00e9tant rebaptis\u00e9 le \u00ab\u00a0Fant\u00f4me d\u2019acier\u00a0\u00bb. Notons que les traductions ne sont pas n\u00e9cessairement coh\u00e9rentes d\u2019une livraison \u00e0 l\u2019autre. C\u2019est ainsi que le \u00ab\u00a0Fant\u00f4me d\u2019acier\u00a0\u00bb devient \u00ab\u00a0Le Scarab\u00e9e Bleu\u00a0\u00bb dans les num\u00e9ros 253 et 254 de Hurrah\u00a0!. Le num\u00e9ro 255 voit appara\u00eetre le nom originel du personnage (Blue Beetle) avant de retrouver son appellation de \u00ab\u00a0Fant\u00f4me d\u2019acier\u00a0\u00bb du num\u00e9ro 259 \u00e0 la fin.<\/p>\n

\"Blue<\/p>\n

Blue Beetle appara\u00eet pour sa premi\u00e8re livraison dans les pages \u00ab\u00a0suppl\u00e9mentaires\u00a0\u00bb de l\u2019hebdomadaire. Contrairement au cahier \u00ab\u00a0normal\u00a0\u00bb elles sont uniform\u00e9ment en N & B. Mais cet \u00e9tat de fait change avec le num\u00e9ro suivant. Non seulement Blue Beetle est conserv\u00e9 pour les num\u00e9ros \u00ab\u00a0normaux\u00a0\u00bb mais il b\u00e9n\u00e9ficie d\u2019une page couleur. Et c\u2019est l\u00e0 qu\u2019intervient la particularit\u00e9 de la parution fran\u00e7aise par rapport \u00e0 son pendant am\u00e9ricain. Aux Etats-Unis, le comic strip de Blue Beetle est un daily qui para\u00eet en bas de page \u00e0 raison de quelques cases par jour. Et non dans les suppl\u00e9ments du dimanche, les c\u00e9l\u00e8bres Sunday Pages qui b\u00e9n\u00e9ficient de la couleur. Cela signifie donc que ce sont les \u00e9quipes du studio mondiales qui ont effectu\u00e9es la colorisation des comic strips originaux qui \u00e9tait livr\u00e9s via \u00ab\u00a0l\u2019agence fran\u00e7aise de presse\u00a0\u00bb (l\u2019une des soci\u00e9t\u00e9s sp\u00e9cialis\u00e9es dans l\u2019achat et la revente des comic strips am\u00e9ricains).<\/p>\n

Cette aventure de Blue Beetle a fait l\u2019objet de deux r\u00e9\u00e9ditions apr\u00e8s guerre aux Editions Mondiales. Une premi\u00e8re fois seulement partiellement dans le R\u00e9cit Complet \u00ab\u00a0Le Fant\u00f4me d\u2019Acier\u00a0\u00bb (Num\u00e9ro de D\u00e9p\u00f4t L\u00e9gal n\u00b0 135 du 2\u00e8me trimestre 1946) de la Collection \u00ab\u00a0Les Grandes Aventures\u00a0\u00bb et malheureusement en N & B. Une deuxi\u00e8me fois mais cette fois-ci dans son int\u00e9gralit\u00e9, mais en N & B avec malheureusement des retouches sur certaines cases, dans L\u2019almanach de Tarzan de 1949.<\/p>\n[Jean-Michel Ferragatti<\/em>]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
