Murder in Bologna - Curiosities

As you know Murder in Bologna is the final instalment of The Pirate Balthasar comic.
There will be some stories in the future but at the moment they are at the idea stage so it will not be the immediate future :D
I gotta draft them first.

What you need to know about this story has already been revealed throughout the comic:

1) This is a Prequel - it comes after All I have but before Kane becomes the Pirate Balthasar and before his meeting Cat and Foxy.
After this story Kane goes back home, finds that his grandfather has already passed on, becomes the pirate Balthasar for six years (finds Cat and Foxy) against the old guys' wish and after six years of quarreling with them he decides to put an end to diatribe by kidnapping Castalia. The rest is history.

 2) In the final pages you merely saw what they talked about here:


Kane is talking about Petronia here.


On page 58 of Murder in Bologna you saw Circe cast "a Balthasar is perfect".

Of course Kane comes out of the room looking and feeling normal, is not like people can tell or remember when Circe hypnotizes them.  That's because she uses scopolamine.

But this is what we see Kane do: we see him tie his hair in a pony tail, which is how he keeps his hair in The Pirate Balthasar.



So what you are literally seeing there is the birth of the Kane you know from The Pirate Balthasar series.



Beware of imitations

3) The pirate Balthasar comes after but you basically saw what they talked about here:





This is the same scene where we see Kane use the stool with Martin. Of course, now, we know why.
