Here is the proof that Tiki finally reached the shores of the old continent! Last year the 8 volume of the French PIN UP series from Berthet & Yann came out at Dargaud: The story that started in 1994 is about Poison Ivy (an alter ego of Bettie Page) who lives through post WW2 America. The story contains lots of real figures and takes place all over the US. In this volume Las Vegas and Hugh Hefner are in the main focus. It is about murders, politics, love, gambling, and of course pin ups. The best scene takes place in a tiki restaurant called HALE TIKI and spreads over two pages. A great homage to Tiki culture with wonderful details of the very authentic interior. Too bad it only appears once throughout the whole story. Here are the relevant pages. The to post it I had to reduce the size, so there is not a lot of detail. If someone absolutely wants these scans, I can always mail them. http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b3cf28b3127cce81ede40982d50000001610 Aloha, Traderval [ Edited by: traderval on 2003-11-09 09:31 ] |
