LE GALL - Lot 60

LE GALL FRANK LE GALL THEODORE POUSSIN Capitaine Steene (T.1), Dupuis 1987 Original plate no. 9 prepublished in Le Journal de Spirou no. 2428 October 25, 1984. Signed. India ink on paper 28 × 37.5 cm (11.02 × 14.76 in.) Little Théodore Poussin, with his nerdy glasses, has a predisposition for the written word, but dreams of racing the oceans, especially since he's the nephew of Captain Steene, a legendary sailor who disappeared a long time ago. Here he is on the Cap Padaran, arriving in Marseille after a voyage spent coasting around the ports of Europe. Frank Le Gall is one of those creators of the 1980s who, like Tome & Janry, Stéphan Colman, Didier Conrad and Yslaire, prolonged and renewed the golden age of Franco-Belgian comics.
