One of Britain's most enduring comic book heroes returns in two
stories reprinted here for the first time! The second collection of
the sci-fi classic, the Steel Claw collects writer Tom Tully's
first two stories originally published in the comic Valiant between
1963 and 1964. Featuring the stunning, realistic black and white
art of Spanish comics' legend Jesus Blasco!
Action adventure with a jolt! Louis Crandell was but a lowly lab
assistant with a prosthetic, steel hand until an experiment gone
awry results in a horrific explosion. Surging with electric charge
which bestows Crandell the power of invisibility with the exception
of his steel hand, so commence a series of uncanny thrills! Written
by stalwarts of the British comics industry, Ken Bulmer (Jet-Ace
Logan) and Tom Tully (Roy of the Rovers, Janus Stark) and
illustrated by the legendary Spanish artist, Jesus Blasco (Capitan
Trueno), Rebellion's Treasury of British Comics is proud to present
the first in a series of graphic novels collecting together for the
first time every strip of 1960s adventure comics like none other!
The Steel Claw, Louis Crandell, is assigned by the chief of the
Shadow Squad to protect the four most important nuclear scientists
as they meet for a secret conference. The assignment goes badly
wrong, as the scientists are frozen solid, and their assassin
chooses death over arrest, The Steel Claw must redeem his
reputation and find out who ordered the assassination. This cold
war thriller is pure sixties spy adventure story drawn in a graphic
noir style by Jesus Blasco.
In this book, we aim to bring together seminal approaches and
state-of-the-art research on interpretation as a tribute to Brian
Harris' influential legacy to Translatology and Interpreting
Studies. Whenever Harris has sat down to reflect and write, he has
paved the way to new approaches and promising areas of research.
One of his most outstanding contributions is the notion of natural
translation, i.e., the idea that all humans share an intuitive
capacity to translate which is co-extensive with bilingualism at
any age, regardless of language proficiency. This contribution has
proved pivotal to translation and interpreting research. In a world
where most individuals speak more than one language, and therefore
millions of translational acts are performed every second by
untrained bilinguals, the concept of natural translation provides
the arena for T&I scholars to discuss issues directly related
to or stemming from it, such as bilingualism, language brokering,
community/public service and diplomatic interpreting, all of them
paramount to interpreting research and the future of the
profession.
