Axa (comic)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Axa is one of Donne Avenell written and Enrique Badía Romero lined end-time comic . The protagonist Axa, a heroine armed with a sword and, if at all, dressed in bikini in a skimpy fur , fights in a post-cataclysmic world where the last healthy people live in glass- domed cities to ensure their survival. Axa leaves one of these cities and wanders the destroyed world, being pursued by mutants and contaminated beings.

Appear

In 1978 to 1986, appeared in a comic strip in the British tabloid The Sun . Since then he has had some translations, for example into Swedish , French and German . In Germany, several albums were released between 1985 and 1990 by Reiner Feest Verlag .

reception

According to Andreas C. Knigge , the strip, which he attests to have a " simple knitting pattern ", "would have been forgotten for a long time without the intermittent strip inserts [...]. " Knigge also sees a direct connection between the appearance of Axa , the characterization of which he feels as " bland ", in the Sun and its rise to the highest-circulation tabloid in Great Britain. Harald Havas suspects that not only the mutated primitives, but also the readers, " always want only one thing from her " and that the comic " without the obligatory undressing of its heroine " deserves little further attention .

filming

A film version is planned, but no information about the production status is known.

game

In 2011 a game for Java-enabled cell phones was released based on the Axa figure. The action adventure contains several original illustrations by Enrique Badía Romero , but is a new, stand-alone adventure of the heroine.

The game is a co-production by Dark Crystal Entertainment and Unizarre International Film & Television Productions .
