Description

Carmine Infantino l'a dit : "Bat Lash est un chef d'oeuvre, mais je suis partial !" Il avait raison, bien sûr...
Après un tel pitch, quel bonheur de voir cette série traduite, même si allègrement remontée dans une publication Arédit à son nom ! 8 petites histoires seulement, mais que de talents associés (Infantino lui-même, Sergio Aragones, Denny O'Neil et, bien sûr, l'immense Nick Cardy !) pour en faire une sorte de méta-western qui combine les influences les plus outrées. Et la comédie n'est jamais loin non plus, comme en témoigne cette planche où même l'expression du cheval dans la dernière case vaut le déplacement... Mais, là, moi aussi je suis partial !

About Nick Cardy

Nicholas Viscardi, best known as Nick Cardy, attended the New York Art School and studied painting and sculpting. After a brief period working as a sculptor, he began his career in comics in 1939, working with the Eisner-Iger Shop. Cardy drew for comic books like Fight Comics, Jungle Comics, Kaanga Comics and Fiction House. Eisner assigned Viscardi to draw the 'Lady Luck' strip in the Spirit comic book. He worked with Chuck Mazoujian under the joint pen name Ford Davis on several episodes of the strip between 1939 and 1941. Nick Viscardi was the first artist who drew 'Senorita Rio', in Fight Comics. Nick Cardy helped define the comics Silver Age with artwork on 'Aquaman', 'Teen Titans', and 'Bat Lash'. After the Teen Titans, Cardy worked on Marvel Comics Crazy Magazine and was the primary cover artist for DC from the early to mid-1970s. Cardy drew many covers including 'Superman', 'Action Comics', 'The Brave and the Bold', 'Batman', 'Flash', 'Ghosts', 'Witching Hour', 'Secret Origins', 'Jimmy Olsen' and 'World's Finest'. After leaving the comics field, Cardy moved on to illustrating advertising art and movie posters until his retirement, by now working under the name Nick Cardi. Text (c) Lambiek
