Pravda (comic)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Pravda ( Pravda, la survireuse ) is an erotic comic drawn by Guy Peellaert and written by Pascal Thomas and published in 1967.

Plot and publication

The Pravda, modeled after the French singer Françoise Hardy , which should actually be called Prava based on the model of the Dutch Provo movement , is the leader of a female rocker band that travels in a futuristic city and whose long-haired members terrorize the public wearing only a leather belt. The opponent is not only the police, but also a male rocker group.

The French publisher Eric Losfeld released Pravda, la survireuse as an album after the comic was published in 1967 in the monthly satirical magazine Hara-Kiri . The German-language edition was published by Schünemann in 1968, translated by Ingrid Eichler, with a foreword by Peter Zadek . Another German-language publication followed in 1973 as a sequel story in the comic magazine Pip . In addition, a Dutch translation was published in 1968.

reception

In 1968, Der Spiegel saw in Pravda “a child of Marlon Brando and Coca-Cola” who was “violent and anti-authoritarian [...] without any political ideology”. During that time , Siegfried Schober wrote in 1969 that “when you have had enough of the pretty colors, the sometimes very appealing optical ideas and finally Miss Pravda personally”, the comic “is no longer so funny, but rather plain and boring " be. In the example of Pravda , Andreas C. Knigge sees “fear of censorship, from which one wanted to protect oneself by clearly exhibiting art claims”.
