PHILIPPE DELABY AND JEREMY MURENA Le Sang des bêtes (T.6), Dargaud 2007 Original plate n° 12 with its coloring done by Jeremy Petiqueux Signed. India ink on paper 37 × 52 cm (14.57 × 20.47 in.) Semi-direct colouring, watercolour on paper 28.6 × 40.6 cm (11.25 × 15.98 in.) In Murena, Jean Dufaux weaves a powerful plot and knows how to make the most emblematic figures of the period shine, such as Poppea, Nero's second wife, who ruthlessly dismisses anyone who gets in her way. "This woman is a demon," analyzes Tigellinus, himself "ready for anything and everything": he was the lover of Agrippina, Nero's mother, before sharing his bed with the emperor's new wife. Vice and crime are their daily life. With his classic drawing, Delaby gives flesh to one of the most successful peplums in comics. Jeremy's colouring, which he took over the drawing of Murena after Delaby's death, is a marvel of subtlety in the tones and in the modelling.
