Great easy suspense reading. This is a classic that I must buy in print. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Torpedo is back!! *by D***A on February 9, 2010* Long due for a reprint in the US (the previous version by Catalan in the late 80's never got to the end of the series) in glorious black & white. This new reprint features an all new translation by Jimmy Palmiotti who tries hard to be faithful to Sanchez Abuli's original text, but ultimately fails. Seems the only people who got it right (I'm speaking of the translations) were the French who, however, committed sacrilege by coloring the series. This new American version will consist of 5 volumes that will collect the whole series (which sadly ended due to a misunderstanding between its creators).Abuli, the writer and Bernet, the artist, were a comic book couple meant to work together, as it's pretty hard finding two people who complimented each other so well. Torpedo will remain the series that put them together and would be their undoing also. To think that this series in the beginning was supposed to have Will Eisner as the writer and Alex Toth as the artist. The series was to take place around 1936 (the editor insisted on the date). Eventually, when Eisner never got around to write a satisfying script, the work ended up being done by Enrique Sanchez Abuli, a part-time writer, who's only previous work in comics was as a translator. The series was to be about a gangster living in America in the 30's. Alex Toth came up with the name Torpedo, a name given to hired guns working on the payroll of gangsters. Due to its extreme violence, Toth quit the series, and it was ultimately shelved. Cut forward a couple of years later, when a young artist named Jordi Bernet came around the offices of SI Artists in Barcelona (where Torpedo was created) asking for work and was shown a script for the third story of Torpedo that had remained unpublished. Bernet saw the potential of the character as a series and jumped on the occasion. The rest, as they say, is history.Torpedo would shortly become one of the biggest sellers all around Europe and put Bernet from being an almost anonymous artist (he'd been working for comics since his teens) to one of the most recognizable and lauded artists in the business.This version published by IDW uses the same proofs that were used in Spain recently. Unfortunately, they are the older, darker proofs (no gray tones) and Bernet's beautiful dry-brush work doesn't come out as it should. It seems that the only people who got it right were the Italians, but due to some ulterior motives, the creators cut the series short over there too. So, I guess we will never be able to see the definitive version of Torpedo, but this one comes pretty close. I highly recommend it! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worthless digital presentation of a brilliant series *by J***R on March 17, 2013* Torpedo is one of the most engaging and beautiful series I've ever read, but this digital presentation for Kindle and the Kindle App is flat out worthless. The art fills approximately HALF the screen with no standard pinch zoom available. The built in workaround (which zooms each individual panel out to something like 180% of its former size, while still leaving the rest of the artwork visible behind in low contrast) is both gimmicky AND inadequate to reveal the stunning quality of Bernet's artwork. Get the print version of this book and you will not be disappointed. But you can ONLY be disappointed... and insulted... by this format. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pl/products/5595045-torpedo-volume-1-paperback-november-27-2012](https://www.desertcart.pl/products/5595045-torpedo-volume-1-paperback-november-27-2012) --- *Product available on Desertcart Poland* *Store origin: PL* *Last updated: 2026-04-29*
