You are right. When I visited Serbia, I bought some locally printed copies of Bonelli titles, along with some other great artists' works printed in Serbian. I am not sure about the other ex-Yugoslav countries, but I can easily say that Turkish and Serbian comic/graphic novel readers have a very similar taste.
Oh, and in recent years, there has been a lot of complaints about Manara and Serpieri, by concerned (!) citizens in Turkey. Those complaints resulted in withdrawal of some titles from the market for good and re-release of some in black plastic bags.
> even Sergio Bonelli's pulp book comics are actually great
I am from Turkey. I learned reading and writing before my school age, with the help of graphic novels. Me and many people I know, literally grew up with different Bonelli series. A great number of graphic novelists and artists from Turkey would easily refer to them as "inspiration" or "reason" to start drawing/writing. Zagor, Mister No, Tex and Martin Mystere (or with its Turkish printing title Atlantis) has been really popular, and in more recent years we had the chance to read Julia, Dylan Dog, Nathan Never, La Storia and many other one shot series from Bonelli.
I believe, until the mid-1990s, when you mentioned the term comic (or "çizgi roman", meaning graphic/drawn/illustrated novel), people would come up with those titles rather than Spider Man, or Batman. They have been available along with Italian titles but for a very long time, they were never as popular and widespread.
I am not sure about the usage of term "pulp" (mostly due to English not being my native language), but I'd consider those titles as important and serious as big auteurs' (Pratt, Manara etc...) creations.
My only problem was ampersands. LastPass encoded them as & and I wasn't aware of this at first. After receiving errors for some passwords, I found out that was the problem. I had to find and replace all. Bitwarden was aware of this though, they have a warning for this on their migration guide.
Well, I want to avoid spoilers, but I want to tell you that one particular (or 'special') visual creation that aired today has something related to a part of this subject.
Thanks for the recommendations, I will definitely check them. I was into kung-fu films back in VHS days but most of the time you couldn't see names on the cover, just one exaggerated film title translation. There were great performances but it is really hard to find them after all these years.
Jackie Chan is more like Buster Keaton to me, just with some fighting and beating added to slapstick. I wish there were more actors and actresses like them, doing hard work, always rising the bar. After that, the cheap comedies or action films could be better value added productions (they won't be cheap in means of budget, I know). More like interdisciplinary works of art, combining acrobatics, coreography, pyrotechnics etc. with more modern technical aspects of film making. IMHO, without that effort and authenticity, most of those films would be just huge wastes of money and time.
Pretty neat, but those particle effects are strange for me. Similarly, I've never used yet but Unixstickers has a terminal like interface on their website: https://www.unixstickers.com/terminal You can use it for shopping.
Absolutely. As a multimedia producer, I can not use a keyboard without numpad, not only with blender, but with many other open source or proprietary software.
Especially Adobe products are terrible with keyboard shortcuts, where in some cases you can not edit (AE) or can not map properly in non US layouts.
