Is not who wants Gilles Chaillet

The collection of "Travel" of the Universe Martin proposes, for some time, the variations of each character of J. Martin, the notable exception of Kéos (a forgotten hero) and Arno (a hero whose Casterman do not have the rights). The good will and the worst. This album is unfortunately part of the second category. The documentary precision, historical rigor is not at issue, but the graphic work. Not to mention the incongruity of the process (a "report" of Lefranc, who is not one, since the text is written by a historian, and the images are neutral, the possible) of anachronism (which is the age of Lefranc, who made the war in Algeria as a conscript and ... was already a journalist in 1944?), the drawings are particularly failures, despite the obvious care that was given to them. Let us be clear: they are effective ... but not for an album, even derivative, Lefranc. Too many designers bring their styles, very different in these collections and graphic consistency is lost completely. The colors do not help in the case, even if they reduce the obvious weakness of the ink that is supposed to "how to ..." but can not. Weinberg is not Chaillet, who even in his last albums, sloppy, Lefranc, still managed to infuse some soul "Marti". One should rather have them carry a personal album, or tribute, as Devig done, for example, Casterman, which honors the clear line of Hergé or Vandersteen, without attempting to slip in the slippers of a famous author.
Note also that the name of J. Martin continues to appear on the covers, as this author has been dead for years. Dargaud have better "negotiated" the presentation named Jacobs on their times of Blake and Mortimer universe. This deceives some readers, uninformed, methinks.
