Freely adapted from the novel by Stephen Crane, "Blue Hotel", "The Swede" takes Christophe Gaultier hunt on the lands of the American West, the teps of the pioneers. But all of the ellipse is in this book, Twilight of Nebraska barely mentioned by a line of railroad crossing and a seedy hotel. The weather is stormy, the three men off the train are cold and burning with desire to keep warm. This will be by alcohol, gambling, human warmth? The Swede is a fool, who does not déparaillerait Dostoevsky, a madman who was furious and filled the space with its resonances absurd, it creates fear and anxiety. They put it only remains to Christophe Gaultier meet all its know-how pencil in hand. And the result is magnificent. Facies of the characters like never live under the line, the tension becomes palpable, and for all finally explodes, burning to resume the book since its beginning in order to enjoy a new intensity of color the brevity of the dialogue and the quality of the situation.
A large book that does not tell much, but keeps up his desire for strangeness and is ultimately the best side of comics.
