BTW, Uskok, TR emailed me back about the "Pirates 4 possibly based on Zagor" you asked about. First, let me apologize for the lateness of this message(b/c my email history said that I received his response on December 13)...but it was because I was busy with my final exams for this half of my schoolyear. Well, anyway, here's what he said:

''Thank you for letting me know about Zagor. I hadn't heard of it but will now look it up. It sounds like a very interesting property. Hopefully there is an English translation?

Regarding On Stranger Tides, the movie, perhaps you know the story is derived from the novel On Stranger Tides by Tim Powers. The novel tells the story of an old pirate captain (Blackbeard) and his rival's daughter (Elizabeth) who then hook up with a man (Jack) and travels (On Blackbeard's ship, the Queen Anne's Revenge) to find the Fountain of Youth.

So as you see, the story is based on that novel, not an Italian comic book.''

Well, at least he was informative about his basing Pirates 4 on the novel. But as you can see, he seemed interested in the "Zagor" property...maybe Pirates 5 will take something from Zagor(other than what you mentioned to me).
