Tanlines And Tan Lines

- Pachyderm


Lupus is probably the series that has most transformed my interest in comics in a consuming love, Peeters showed them everything I loved to see and read in a SF with blurred but developed and with characters we remember a long time. The first volume in particular, what a slap! This incredible game fishing, drug search, and caught everything good in the guts. In fact since I venerate Lupus Peeters. Yet I was not interested RG, lai I do not read, just puff, I feel no appetite for this type of story married cop and introduced realism of treatment. Often I am better with dreams and stars. Koma was fine, I have to read the last book, especially because I read something else and finally Koma m'atteind do no more than that. So
"Pachyderm" and its lavish coverage. Implaccable pitch: a woman comes out of his car locked in traffic following a collision with an elephant. So Make a story with that! It seeks to reach the hospital services which her husband was accepted following an accident. The husband seems to be an agent of espionage-cons (those who read well would then feel that my interest fades appreciably) and the hospital a nest Spy. Yet all this is too simple, Peeters has seen the films of Lynch, he knows that you can twist a story in any case his conduct, and thereby reveal conditions in the latter. What if? And if the story I have just summarized was not quite reflect what actually watch the action? And if this woman was simply deranged? Her husband valid? The doctor simply a drunkard on the back? Peeters mixing the ingredients, dosage and add salt, pepper, chilli pepper. There is a spy who comes out of a vent hood, his long nose is somewhat reminiscent of Moebius and Eden. There is a gallery of characters Foutraque, very well chewed, dialogues that touch and really dessu by all this, some evanescence of history itself.
The result is an unconventional album, perfectly controlled but in which one feels the freedom of artists to improvistion, to be guided by instinct, to accept to lose a few assumptions to win other spheres understanding. Great album by the man I consider one of the greatest French writers of the moment. Do not deprive yourself Peeters read this, it is also responsible for a pachyderm in suspension.
