LEDROIT - Lot 111

LEDROIT OLIVIER LEDROIT REQUIEM CHEVALIER VAMPIRE Resurrection (T.1), Nickel Productions 2000 Original double plate no. 31-32. Signed. India ink and colored inks on paper 65 × 48.8 cm (25.59 × 19.21 in.) Requiem is a vampire, the reincarnation of a World War II German soldier who died on the Russian front. In the planet he arrives on - Resurrection - all values are reversed: time, natural elements... Thus, people grow younger instead of older, those who have committed the greatest crimes are promoted, while the virtuous are oppressed. The only reminder of his time on Earth, Heinrich hopes to find Rebecca, the woman he loved on Earth, on this planet... Like Philippe Druillet, Olivier Ledroit, with the help of British artist Patt Mills, has developed a highly coherent gothic fantasy universe: he imagines a planet where the lands have become oceans of blood and the seas high mountains, on which gloomy cities populated by the worst assassins are built. A must in this genre.
