Magnificent inaugural plate for a story by Stéphan Colman. The scriptwriter, who is also a cartoonist, knows how to create this kind of incipit, where Batem can express himself in a real "bravura piece". The density of the strokes, the brio of the inking, the fantasy of the details, the precision of the lighting work are all manifestations of Batem's virtuoso talent. Didier Pasamonik
This plate has a very special value for me, as it's the first of the first album I'm drawing for Dupuis. I've just come back from French Guiana and, fed by so many images of the South American nature in which I've immersed myself, I'm delighted to produce this new opus. The characters evolve in very rich settings, sometimes a little too much so! Batem
