Formidable book born from the prolific pen of Jack London early last century, "The Sea Wolf" is well adapted bd over 130 pages by Riff Reb's, a guy who draws for real in India ink . The colors are worked on compiouteur, but the choice of evolutionary duotone (chapter changing colors chapter) gives the whole aesthetic of hell.
Survivor of a shipwreck, Humphrey Van Weyden, literary critic of good family, is saved by Wolf Larsen, captain of the schooner "The Ghost", sealer, and terrifying bearded colossus ancient physics. Of course, now renamed Hump will become foam against her will and scapegoat. This atypical couple will stop to test, one struggling to survive, the other an amazing culture despite its natural ruggedness.
It was the arrival of a writer, a wife, Maud, which will precipitate the history and exacerbate tensions between Hump and Loup. Anyway, all sailors will tell you: a woman on board and it's a mess (ok, I go out).
First and obvious fact: that beauty! This comic is splendid, both indoors and outdoors, with the main character in the sea. The living characters are fascinating depth, including sidekick.
Discussions unheard of accuracy and humor, reflections on life and thinness in such extreme conditions, death and the value of man as well. And Wolf, caught in the cruelty offense, bludgeon this assertion narrowly disarming: "I saw in the Port of London famine and death have-account You had knowledge of the treatment of l. army of unemployed General Kelly! You know that at the present time, Europe is armed. The large, heavy preparing conflict on children, who will pay with their blood. So why do you tolerate wrong with me what you accept in your civilized world? "
The kind of comic you read the big peepers open, heart and guts back then that the night and the day we dream.
Thank you for this exciting adventure story that pays tribute to Jack London very beautiful way.
