A very strange character appeared in the highly closed Parisian art dealers ... His name is Mieszko Skarbek, and he claims to hold more than one hundred paintings by Paulus Louis, dead for over ten years in strange circumstances. Northbook art dealer with whom the painter had signed an exclusive contract, discusses dismal counterfeits. But who is Skarbek and what does he want? It that the reader will learn in a spectacular trial in which the Count Skarbek seems determined to repair the honor of Louis Baffou Paulus, demanding compensation outrageous ...
*** First, I think it would be inappropriate to talk about comic strips for a work of this kind. Each box is a real gem, both in terms of design as beautiful colors, which could compete with major Impressionist works ... There is something in the strength of the design that recalls Turner's watercolors or Constable, or certain Monet. The line and color are finally aligned to the context of history, and its main character, who remains the enigma full of this work.
level visual and expressive, The Revenge of Count Skarbek is an undeniable success, almost non-standard in the landscape bédésite.
For the scenario, very convoluted, especially devious, a real nod to Dumas and the Count of Monte Cristo, I could not help but be skeptical about the vicissitudes of the main characters standing. The world is black, and probably full of flaws, certainly, but do display in the absolute minimum action, it seems quite outrageous. This is a beautiful work, intelligent and very dark, which is amply sufficient to itself, but the scenes and light depraved mores of most women present in this book are entirely too many. They are uncomfortable when they appear, which is my biggest disappointment about this book.
characters on them (male, he is), are well scrubbed, worked in a beautifully ... expressive beyond all imagination.
A large flat, again on the treatment of characters female, very unflattering, which frankly was not necessary, and can seem almost degrading. A current which is not so rare in the world of comics, and unfortunately found in a work that could flirt with perfection!
