Comment

J’ai jeté mon dévolu sur cette illustration du bagne de Cayenne qui, sous les couleurs pastel d’Hugo Pratt, passerait presque pour un boutique hotel dans lequel on degusterait volontiers des mojitos servis par un personnel omniprésent en costume bleu et blanc impeccable. C’est sans doute mon côté cocardier qui ressort, mais je trouve cet uniforme assez classieux !

About Hugo Pratt

Hugo Pratt is considered to be one of the greatest among comic artists for his versatile fantasy and use of graphic freedom, and the combination of these factors resulted in very strange stories. In his tales, reality can change into dream and vice-versa, and in this way he took his readers into the strangest lands and even through time. He is thought to be one of the first comic artists to mix literature with adventure. Hugo Pratt has been a great inspiration to comic artists all over the world.
