Comment

Beautiful preparation sketch for the final page 24 from album # 8 "les maudits" panel 6.
This sketch was recently published in the integral # 3 on page 11.
René Sterne started, as far as I know, with a pre sketch of the page and than draw each panel on a separate page. Finally he decided on the "frame" of the panel (see the blue lines). All panels were than drawn on the original page.
It is still amazing to follow his steps until the final result. What a great artist and story teller!
