Anecdote: lorsque Barry Kitson doit passer le dessin à la couleur, j'ai un pincement en me disant que cela va peut-être masquer l'effet sobre, clean et efficace de l'encrage si minutieusement effectué sur ce dessin. Je me rends compte qu'il à aussi ce doute.
Nous avons alors la même idée: donner au dessin un effet vieille photographie, en raccord avec l'aspect fantasmé des années 30 de la série. Le résultat nous plait à tous les deux!
