Dear all,

I'm proud to anounce you the release of my Fan Art: the ULTIMA 7 Comics!

You probably already seen the first pages that I published one years ago but now, you can read the entire comics until the end!

Some modifications are still on going, like the english text that will be improved, but all the pages are online!

I hope you will like it!

Dam's!

Thanks, for writing/drawing the comic and announcing it both here and by email. I very much appreciated this.

Bravo! I loved the comic. The art is undoubtely ripe, but extremely faithful to the original. I could have recognized the characters even if you never named them, including the lesser ones. I also loved the way you added something here and there to the plot, like the party splitting in three to destroy the generators at the same time - or Spark personally avenging his father in the final battle. Reasonable little twists which didn't change substantially the story, but made it more interesting and coherent. What can I say? I'm waiting for Serpent Isle now!

Did you translate it from another language using a program? It doesn't sound quite right.

Why the magery die?

May-be you can find what happen.

He's french. What he attempted to "render" in english is quite clear, so any english speaking guy here could easily re-translate it, if the Dams! agrees.

Great comic! The drawings are fantastic and the dialogue has some nice moment to it... for once you get to hear the Avatar and his part say the f-word! :D

But one thing I'd just like to bring up. They constantly mention God in the comic, but I don't think that the concept of an all-powerful deity exists in the Ultima universe. I think something like 'By the virtues' or something along that line would be more in-line with the game universe.

Thanks for your comments!

A guy who appreciated the comics is already working on the improvement of the translation.

The avatar said "fucking ..." because he is coming from Earth :)

For the mention of "god", you are right, it is not probably a good mention

I have to work on the Serpent Isle episode now :)))

This stuff was just plain amazing. Thank you so much. With a better translation this might be a world-wide hit!

The only problem I saw was that the latter half had a little bit too much in it and so the pacing was a little bit too hasty. (I hold to that claim, even when my fanboy reaction was kind of like, you know, "I can't believe they didn't devote three pages to Horance's introduction." =) Might have been better with a dozen more pages overall. But the end was pretty nice, still...

Dams, it would make it easier for me to redo the captions if I had the art without the captions. (Trying to make the text fit into some of the captions isn't working the best). Would you mind?

I just saw the link to the Web site Kotaku and I'm very happy to see this! The stats of my web site goes up! :)
Thanks to the one who promote my site, this is well apreciated!


Dear Wizardy, What you can do is to write the text in a WORD file like:

Page 1
box1

blablablabla

Page 1
Box2

blablablaaaaaaaa

etc..

I will handle the captions myself don't worry. ;)

I have to say, I like the way it is currently. It feels as though the translation is part of the artform. I thoroughly enjoy it.

I know this is serious thread necromancy, but does anyone have a copy of this comic any more? The links I've found are all dead.

Try contacting the author. I still have the comic somewhere but can't put it online or send it to anyone...

Thanks Dominus. I was in contact with him, and he said he'd send me a copy via web transfer. He also gave me permission to host it on http://www.ultimacodex.com

Yeah, the Wayback Machine doesn't have all the images though. 6-14 are missing, as well as others. :/
