ENGLISH BOOK
Cholly And Flytrap by Arthur Suydam
was a sci-fi/fantasy comic from Marvel's Epic line in the eighties
that has recently seen new work from Image Comics and a republication of
the series from Radical Entertainment last year. But one keen reader of the original who has finally scored the recent
Radical hardcover is reporting a few amends. And one or two that are a
little disturbing. In the twenty-five years since original publication and recollection,
there have been a few changes. Firstly, to suggest that the
non-humanoid characters are just people wearing suits, which was never
the case originally, especially with the talking Frog. And there are odd
dialogue changes so that Frog's "'The times they are changin'",
replacing the original "I never thought I'd see the day Cholly &
Flytrap turned yellow". Odd, but nothing to storm the palaces over. Arthur Suydam has a reputation of drawing Frazetta-ish buxom ladies,
but in the new version a number have been altered, and their levels of
clothing increased.
