The article analyzes the translation of ideological references in three episodes of the Italian comic book Alan Ford. It was translated into Croatian by Nenad Brixy, translator, writer and editor at the Vjesnik newspaper in Zagreb, who also proposed the comic book for publication in Croatian. Brixy's translation, which became hugely popular in the former Yugoslavia primarily for its humor, is relatively free, and more of a cultural adaptation than a faithiful translation. The analysis of the three selected translated episodes shows that all ideological references in the two episodes which were published in the same chronological order as in the Italian edition were adapted while the translation of the third episode, Formule, which was published only later, is significantly more literal and cannot be attributed to Brixy even though he is credited as the translator of this episode, too.
