The Collected Mr Magellan (1970s) (FRENCH+DUTCH) (~98% complete)

" Mr. Magellan works for the International Testing Organization, testing a number of advanced technological devices. With his friend Capella, a super-strong antique collector, he thwarts the offbeat schemes of a variety of mad scientists. A recurring adversary is 'Casimir Boudu', a meek-looking old man who is in reality a peace-loving, blue-skinned alien whose mission is to slow down Earth's technological progress. "

Contains: 8 (out of 8) graphic novels and 38/29 (out of 39/30) short stories, for the French/Dutch versions, respectively. All of them were originally published in serialized format (with individual instalments ranging from 2 to 20 pages in length) in "Journal Tintin"/"Kuifje weekblad" from 1969 thru 1979, and all of the longer and most of the short stories were later re-printed in dedicated graphic albums. The French scans originate from the latter throughout. The Dutch scans originate mostly from the latter, too, however with a fair portion of the shorts filled in as direct extracts from "Kuifje" magazine, most of whose ~2,500 issues have in fact and to my amazement been scanned. The French versions are of consistently high quality, whereas many of the Dutch scans unfortunately seem to be based on visibly aged and degraded copies - never to the point of illegibility, though. The contents are arranged by language first and by original publication order second.
