Abstract

Graphic novel translation poses a problem for the translator due to the features that define this genre. J. Marc Schmidt’s novel Egg Story, to which this paper is dedicated, is a clear example of problems generated by the translation of this genre with different codes. This type of translation is included in the constrained-translation’s category, which includes novels conditioned in a greater or lesser way by linguistic and extralinguistic elements from the source text. This raises issues about translation of dialogs, which are always conditioned by image and space in graphic novels, and about other distinct features of this particular book, such as satire, humour and irony. This paper aims to analyse and offer a solution for all these aspects and to prove, at the same time, the potential interest of this graphic novel for the Spanish book market.
