I am now a Marvel Comics fan, apparently
It's NTS Kidnapped's second anniversary tomorrow, and in a nice coincidence it was Erasure's 40th anniversary yesterday, so time for some music :D

PyshechkaPushkova recently very kindly sent me some more information on Kidnapped adaptations, which I have added to the Adaptations page on the website, along with a couple of other bits and pieces. Particularly notable:
Because a) a cursory search on Ebay suggests that copies of those comics are fairly reasonably available, b) Puskha also supplied a link to another of the animated adaptations on Youtube and c) I was already planning to do an anniversary rewatch of the play, I'm thinking of restarting my vague project of watching/reading various adaptations and comparing them. I will not watch anything that includes het romance, and a saddening number of adaptations are just not available, but applying those two criteria I think I've got that animated film, the 1960 Disney film, the three comics, the dramatised audiobook of mysterious provenance, a range of shorter bits and pieces (some of which I've already looked at and never got round to writing up) and maybe the 1994 radio adaptation if I can find a copy???
- I am slightly surprised to learn that there exists only one adapted version of the song Alan composes after the battle in the round-house—and it's not even in an adaptation as such, but this 1970s Soviet documentary about Stevenson. Er, not exactly the musical style I'd have expected, but there you go. :D But then I wonder, if the song is universally cut from adaptations, are there any unofficial fan-made versions? I've not found any, but it feels like they ought to exist.
- Three more comic/graphic novel adaptations, including two different ones made by Marvel Comics in 1978 and 2009. I didn't know they did adaptations of otherwise-unrelated stuff, and I am amused to learn of this.

Wow, that Soviet version of the song is quite something :D
A project to watch all the adaptations sounds like a lot of fun. I look forward to hearing about it if you do do it. (I started a project about 10 years ago to watch all the Sherlock Holmes adaptations... still have lots of them to go, but it's certainly a lot of fun.)
By the way, I just ended up on the "Mysteries" page of your Jacobite website, and I have another possible suggestion for the word that the Prince almost calls Ewen. How about "sap" or "sop"? I mean in the sense of a weak or foolish person.
