Before Marilyn and Madonna, Betty booped and wriggled her way into hearts worldwide with her unique mix of wide-eyed innocence and powerful cartoon sensuality. Although she made her film debut as a curvaceous canine cabaret singer in the Max Fleischer short Dizzy Dishes on August 9, 1930, Betty Boop remains animation's first leading lady and a glamorous international icon.

This beautiful volume collects Betty’s adventures as they appeared in the funny pages of daily newspapers in the 1930’s, capturing all the cheeky fun embodied by the character.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gesamtausgabe sämtlicher verfügbarer Boop-Strips und Sonntagsseiten
Reviewed in Germany on February 14, 2024
Verified Purchase
Dieser 23,5 x 31 cm große HC-Band von Titan Comics aus dem Jahr 2015 sammelt auf 240 amerikanischen Seiten sämtliche farbige Sonntagsseiten sowie s/w-Zeitungsstrips, die heutzutage nicht verschollen sind. Dazu gehören auch die Vorläuferserie "Koko the Klown" und der Testballon "Helen Kane". Letztere war eine damals sehr bekannte Schauspielerin, nach deren Vorbild die Zeichentrickfigur "Betty Boop" entworfen worden war. Ihre leider nur 11 existierenden Sonntagsseiten sehen eigentlich besser aus als die von Boop selbst, und obwohl die Unterschiede zeichnerisch nur marginal waren wollte das Publikum lieber Betty.
Neben den reinen Comics gibt es noch großartige Erklärungen über die Entstehung einzelner Figuren, so dass man nachvollziehen kann, wie damals alles entstanden ist."Koko the Clown" z.B. war Teil der Animationsserie "Out of the Inkwell", die Max Fleischer (1883-1972) bereits ab 1918 schuf. "Betty Boop" kam erst 1930 dazu und war als Nebenfigur für Koko gedacht, entwickelte sich aber schnell zur beliebtesten Figur der Fleischer Studios, sogar gegen Konkurrenz von Popeye (ab 1933) und Superman (ab 1941). Der s/w-Anteil des Buches beträgt 43 Seiten (nämlich die Dailies, die zwischen dem 23.07.1934 und dem 18.03.1935 erschienen); der Rest (die Sonntagsseiten, veröffentlicht vom 25.11.1934- 21.08.1937) ist in Farbe. In den Sonntagsseiten geht es oft darum, dass schauspielerin Betty ihre resolute Tante Tilly und ihren viel zu kleinen Freund Hunky dory ebenfalls in den Studios unterbringen möchte. Auch ihr frecher kleiner Bruder Bubbles soll berühmt werden, hat selbst aber gar kein Interesse daran. In den Dailies geht es eher um Betty selbst als Schauspielerin, ihre Verträge und die Heerscharen von anwälten, die diese ständig überwachen und letztendlich Filmaufnahmen absolut unmöglich machen. Somit kann man den Comic schon als beißende Satire auf das damalige Hollywood und ihre Stars interpretieren.

This comic-strip version of Betty Boop seems a lot different from the B/W cartoons, not so wacky and creative but she still retains that cute feminine charm that is her trademark.
