Description

Croquis final pour une carte postale (affiche) pour le salon (à l'époque pas encore festival) international de la BD d'Angoulême en 1987.

Comment

Le trait de Robert Gigi s'inscrit dans cette filiation qui prend source avec Raymond Poïvet, le maître, se poursuit avec Paul Gillon, jusqu'à - je trouve - Jean-Claude Mézières.
