About plot length and editions

[edit]

Look, Mikeblas, there's a reason I didn't entitle the plot section a Plot summary, as it's a shortened retelling of the plot at a level of detail common on Wikipedia for films and written novels, and decidely not just a summary which only gives a brief premise overview. The entire storyline of Bell's Theorem is 150 album-sized comic pages long, and I've significantly condensed especially the plot of volumes 2 and 3 (for example, I didn't dwell on every single scene where Shelby comes upon Sarah or the US agents, how his relationship with Sarah develops over the storyline, or every single instance of his visions of Amselstein). Similarly, I didn't cover the subplot of the pilot who recognizes Shelby as a "former customer" when he illegally flies him across the border ("I never forget a face!") and how police informants later try to beat Shelby's whereabouts out of the pilot in volume 1.

As for the Editions section, I suppose you're asking for proof that the standalone French and German albums even exist, complete with ISBNs? Here's a few links for the French edition: [1], [2], [3], [4], [5]. Here's a few links on the existence of the German edition: [6], [7], [8], [9], [10]. Incidentally, its entry[11] on Schultheiss's own site reveals that it was also published in Danish, and that in 1992, a collected omnibus one-piece edition was published in German that collected all three volumes into one binding (further googling reveals that it was a luxury edition to celebrate the German publisher's 25th anniversary). --80.187.108.51 (talk) 04:39, 26 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

"common" doesn't mean "correct", or even "preferred". -- Mikeblas (talk) 13:04, 26 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
