S.K. Collection - Lot 20
S.K. Collection SERGIO TOPPI THE COLLECTOR The Sceptre of Muiredeagh (T.2), Mosquito 2004 Original cover for the reissue of the album. Signed. Indian ink, colored inks and white gouache highlights on paper 36.3 × 50.7 cm (14.29 × 19.96 in.) Sergio Toppi has a unique place in Italian comics, as much for his free, decorative layout as for his pictorial style inspired by medieval art and Art Nouveau. Here we have a good example of his freedom of tone, akin to that of Hugo Pratt: in the foreground a hieratic figure, adorned with ornaments; and behind him, airy and relaxed, his hero observes him. Sergio Toppi's rhythmic, musical pen-and-ink drawings remain a model of graphic daring. In 1975, his work earned him the Yellow Kid, Italy's highest distinction for comics.
