Vance - Lot 122
Vance
WILLIAM VANCE
RAMIRO
Les Otages: le trésor des
Wisigoths (T.8), Dargaud 1983
Original plate no. 3, prepublished in
Femmes d'Aujourd'hui in 1977 and 1978.
Signed. Indian ink and white gouache
on paper
32.9 × 43.4 cm (12.95 × 17.09 in.)
With his slightly "ripped" pen-and-ink drawing (he inherited this technique from the Dutch comic book artist Hans Kresse) and his vaporous blacks, William Vance is truly the draftsman of atmosphere. The proof is in this introductory page to a Ramiro adventure drawn for Femmes d'Aujourd'hui. This panel, with its progression through the snow by the outpost scouts and its fine portraits of women and old men, is quite simply dazzling.
