Item Overview

Description

Planche 42 - Tintin n° 20- 19 mai 1954
Certificat d’authenticité de la Fondation Jacobs

Extraite de la mythique Marque Jaune, cette poursuite entre un taxi réquisitionné par Mortimer et le véhicule du sulfureux Guinea Pig est un exemple de composition. Le dessin jacobsien explose dans les dernières cases, théâtrales et emphatiques. Pour le reste, il joue surtout de manière très efficace sur des cases en miroir. La deuxième moitié de la planche est d’une intelligence rare dans la composition. Tout est fait pour que ces deux tacots ressemblent à des bolides furieux, comme s’ils étaient possédés. Cerise sur le gâteau, c’est de cette poursuite que viendra la résolution de l’histoire, de nombreuses pages plus tard…
