The changes are a publisher is not an unknown phenomenon in the world of BD, and that in summer 2009 has been announced the acquisition of the comics industry by Editions Robert Laffont Editions Delcourt. The series freely adapted from the comic book Moonfleet by Falkner has changed publisher and title between his second and third (and last) book, The Secret of Mohune, Volume 3: The Curse of Rudolph scenario and Dominique Hey drawing, (Editions Delcourt 2010, ISBN 978-2-7560-1900-0).
As much as I can understand the change of publishers, as for the title change, I am more questioning: a problem of right to use the title "Moonfleet"? Yet the first two volumes of the series, published by Editions Robert Laffont and which I had devoted a ticket each ( it for Volume 1 and this one for Volume 2) have been quoted verbatim in their content from Editions Delcourt. The series title was changed from the Moonfleet Secret Mohune , and the title of Volume 1 has been shortened from the Crypt Mohune to The crypt short (surprising choice, moreover, to pass the singular plural, changing publishing "the Mohune" became "the Mohune"), while Volume 2 was apparent in his first title The Treasure of John Black .
This third volume is perplexing. Is it to avoid the curse that gives it its title (kind of curse that some series of comics are arrested along the way by their publishers because sales are not sufficient) that the writer seems to have taken advantage of "closing" the story quickly?
Both the first two volumes posed atmosphere without rushing, as this volume it seems to the reader on a slide for the lead without delay to the end of the story. " Come on, hop! No time to dwell, M'sieursdames, I have a story to end without dawdle. Have questions? Some points seem odd? Oh, no, no answers or clarifications in another album, we just told you that the third is the last . "
A disappointing end travel.
