The originally Russian David Grey's Tale comic, consisting of 30 episodes of Fallout screencap-based comic goodness, has been fully translated into English...or rather, Engrish. A few episodes were translated before, but you can read the whole thing now.

Provided you can stand the few English errors, its a recommendation to hold you over until the Vault 12 comic returns. Which should, come to think of it, be today.
 
Sure, it made me chuckle here and there. It's a funny idea with some fun references to Fallout 1 and Fallout 2 in it.
 
The comic is pretty cool. I was waiting for the translation of the remaining strips for quite some time now. :) Though there are some mistakes and odd typos here and there, the comic is good enough to let them slide.

Good stuff. :ok:
 
... A good idea, with a lot of veiled messages. I'm waiting for season 2!
 
Well, unfortunately author doesn't feel like doing that :(. And I kinda agree with that decision (good things can't last forever). But who knows... Actually there is another comic claimed to be DVG Season 2 but it has only 10 strips (or so) and isn't translated to english yet. However it's not based on Fallout graphic assets.
 
... Time will tell! Anyway it's good to know that such projects exist.
 
I'm in the middle of it right now. It's pretty funny, all right. Though I've got to wonder: does some of this stuff not translate very well? The jokes sometimes read like some nuance has been lost, and I have a funny feeling that's due to the translation. I don't know Russian, so I can't guess. Still like the comic a lot, regardless.

Very possible. There were some puns, russian idioms and phraseology that just don't have english equivalent.
 
So that South Park quote was it a replacement joke for one of those? :)
 
I keep trying the link you provided and have been searching the site but the only comic that keeps popping up looks to be almost definitely in cyrillic.
Is the english comic link down or something?
 
You have to scroll down, the english version of the comic is below the russian version.
