Nowadays, multimodal messages, i.e. messages that combine several semiotic codes, play an increasingly important role in communication. This paper attempts to answer the following questions: how changes made by translators and publishers in the comic book translation process can change the word-image relationship and what impact on the global sense and reception of a multimodal message can such modifications have? The analysis was based on two selected volumes of “Thorgal” comic book series by Jean Van Hamme and Grzegorz Rosiński, and two Polish translations of each of the selected volumes provided by different translators. The word-image combinations classification in the comic proposed by Scott McCloud was used for the study. The analysis has shown that the introduction of changes in word-picture relations in a comic may lead to a change in the global sense of the scenes – in some of the analyzed cases, the modifications led to a decrease in the action’s and characters’ dynamics and in the intensity of emotions felt by the characters, in others – to a stronger emphasis on certain elements of the scenes. The findings broaden the knowledge about the specificity of translating comics as a multi- modal message, in which the verbal and visual elements do not function autonomously, but are linked by a complex network of relations. They also emphasize the role of the translator of such messages as a person who must not only easily navigate in the linguistic space – he/she must also be aware of the aforementioned connections and be able to analyze the impact of individual semiotic codes on each other and – ultimately – on the global meaning of the message.
