HERMANN ◊ - Lot 5

HERMANN ◊ BERNARD PRINCE Le Souffle de Moloch (T.10), Le Lombard 1976 Original plate no. 42, prepublished in Tintin Hebdo no. 21, May 21, 1974. Traces of glue traces of glue and superficial soiling on the spine. of the plate. India ink on paper 36.3 × 47.8 cm (14.29 × 18.82 in.) This is pure adventure as Greg could have imagined it: the theft of the Cormorant, in the middle of Singapore harbor, by drug traffickers trying to exfiltrate their leader from the city - a leader contaminated by... the plague! As if that weren't enough, our heroes find their thieves on an island whose volcano has just erupted! Hermann is never better than in these paroxysmal scenes, where humans are put in their place by the elements of a brutal, blind nature. Fire is a recurring element in these terrors.
