Huffington Loves Sam & Max 20 Feb, 2010 / Comments: 5


Blogger Alex Remington at Huffington Post shows his love for Steve Purcell, Sam and Max and in particular "Hit the Road".

So, Purcell's done lots and lots of cool things. But nothing's cooler than Hit the Road. A private school principal once told me that in the history of literature, the greatest translation of all time was the English translation of Waiting for Godot, because Samuel Beckett had personally translated it from French, in which he'd originally written it, into English, his mother tongue. Well, Steve Purcell just might be the Samuel Beckett of comic book video games.


Read it. Read it all.

    So, how many comic book video games are there exactly outside of Marvel and DC characters?

    Pretty much as many as there are comic books. Dozens of Tintins, Asterixes, Luke Luckies, Dylan Dogs, Diaboliks, Thorgals... the list is endless!

    Off the top of my head there's also the Judge Dredd and Rogue Trooper games, so that's at least two more.
