Juillard ANDRÉ JUILLARD PLUME AUX VENTS L'Oiseau-Tonnerre (T.2), Dargaud 1996 Cover design, also published in Entracte, Daniel Maghen, 2006. Signed. India ink and colored inks on paper 18 × 21.5 cm (7.09 × 8.46 in.) In the first part of Plume aux vents, Ariane de Troïl learned that behind the Condor, who was supposed to have unknowingly "killed" her, lay the Sparrowhawk of her childhood... and her real father, Gabriel de Troïl, who later left for New France. Ariane had to go, since her father was there. The choice of Canada no doubt also stems from a trip we made in 1986 with Patrick Cothias for a promotional tour. We'd fallen in love with the country, we'd done some research, and in the period we were interested in, there was a colony that Champlain had founded in the early 17th century. We had put the idea away in a drawer of our memory, but it came back to us when we concluded the series. A.J. When it came time to design the front page of L'Oiseau-Tonnerre, the second episode, the artist drew up several projects, including this close-up of the main heroine, slightly off-center on the left. On the right, in the background, we see her father, the Onondaga Chasse-pour-six, renamed Pleure-près-de-sa-mère after a misplaced knee blow, and former actress Angélique Leroy, known as Gorge-Profonde and renowned for her very special skills.
