The striking works in comics, there are: Little Nemo, The Blue Lotus, Arzack, Palestine. For me The fair is one of the immortals. It imposed an aesthetic that has opened up vast fields of view beside the great classics of the genre such as Valerian, Yoko Tsuno or the work of Paul Gillon. And yes, because we are only in 1980, and what surprises most about this story is its incredible modernity. This work supposed to take place in the near future (2023) has not aged at all in both its aesthetic and its dark and totalitarian look. The bet is successful. Bilal mastered his work from start to finish, each box is treated like a painting and some plans have become classics. Hard not to admire. No fan of Bilal, he is the only trilogy that I read but to me there, it's flawless. What did I say? A sacred song!
