The sale will continue with the special catalog dedicated to the young Spanish comic artist Roger Ibáñez (1977). For this auction, the artist will present a selection of 18 artworks from his emblematic series Jazz Maynard (Editions Dargaud). A true goldsmith of black and white, Roger handles the brush with unequaled virtuosity, and is one of the best comic artists of his generation. This catalog features covers and original artworks from the Jazz Maynard series, as well as original illustrations especially created for this event, within the secret recesses of his studio.
