Disney comic

[longlostblue]

In the summer jumbo pack of Disney magazine, they had a large section devoted to DMC, including an "offical movie comic." It took me absolutely forever to scan it all and upload it, so enjoy it! Feel free to make icons, graphics, whatever. :)

Damn. So let me get this straight: Jack is an utter asshole who would betray the man who saved his life to Davy Jones, so he can steal his girlfriend? I didn't think he was supposed to be that easy to peg - he's like a soap opera villain, someone the writers turn evil at whim to achieve a creaking 90-degree plot twist that wouldn't turn naturally.

And Elizabeth is in LOVE with this type of behavior? Dear Christ.

Actually, as far as I can tell, the cartoonist didn't even have a copy of the movie to go on because the facts are often wrong. Especially the final scenes. Jack did not meet the Kraken tied to the mast, for one. Jack sent Will to get the key, not to get rid of Will. Jack couldn't get it because he'd have to stay on Jones' ship. Will was an innocent who hadn't sworn an oath to Jones and could therefore leave the Flying Dutchman. Jack tries to swindle Jones into giving Will back. And unlike Bill, he isn't stupid enough to let Jones know the kid can be used as leverage. And then he tries to find the chest so he can bargain with Jones. Jack's only a scoundrel, not a villain. He gets people into fixes and then tries to get them out again, but not at the expense of his own hide, until the end. If he'd wanted Elizabeth that bad the compass would have pointed to her. But he wants other things just as bad. As far as I can tell, the cartoonist only had a copy of the script and none of the actual movie in order to see the nuances of a

I understand that novels of movies are usually written based entirely on the script that the writer has available at that time; I'm not certain if I think the same would apply to a cartoonist, just because so much of their storytelling has to rely upon visuals. For the comic to look anything like the movie, you'd think they would have to see the movie - or at least some of the dailies - to know how a scene might be framed. (Though that would explain all the instances of Jack crushing Elizabeth to him, when he didn't even touch her in the movie except once on the face

Having some experience in how illustration is done, I would imagine this artist might have seen the trailers and the productions stills, but not the movie. The "Persuade me" scene, for instance, happened on deck in daylight, not at night in the cabin. This was definitely done from the script because it also includes lines that did not show up in the movie: e.g. "Nothing I did not deserve". Also the artist had not seen enough of the locations to realize it was a church and not a mill that had the water wheel. It's just a pre-movie guess, like the children's novelization, about what the story would be like.

What's noticeable is that much of the dialogue is changed, and the actions/plot/behaviours etc may be tinkered to suit a faithful adaptation particularly for younger readers.

But the illustrations are fab! Thanks for uploading them
Shall be making icons/banners soon ;)

Also, although the final kiss features more than it does in the kiddy novelisation, Will doesn't see it happen, so there's no angst for him at the end.... interesting...

[veronica_rich]

I noticed that too - wasn't the point of him seeing it to make him suffer even more?

[morgana_lefaye]

Yay! Thanks so much. I kind of like the art...Although Jack always looked like he was about to burst an artery lol

[longlostblue]

I just burst into giggles at your icon!
