Jean-Louis Le Hir, far from his humorous drawing of" That is who well the boss? ", dive us in a Victorian London where the end of the XIXº century conjugates itself all at once with modernism, electricity and heathenism. The Thames carries its share of pictures out of the time and The Hir succeeds in capturing all exhalations of it. Enameling his history of real and imaginary characters (Kipling, Crowley, Sickert, John Merrick - Elephant Man -, Czuck, to Stock, Bone,...), Le Hir presents us of a black and stuffy album that is not without recalling" From Hell ". An excellent filiation for a trilogy that will know how to make you shiver ! |
