Lighting in 1981, Freddy Lombard is considered one of the most interesting and representative of Comic Strip the eighties. Representative, say, by the grace and work of its creator, the great Yves Chaland (Lyon 1957-1990), name and late in the second batch of artists from the Klare Lijn, in the words of Joost Swarte, or clear line, as is said in the vernacular style graphic excellence Franco-Belgian comics. A style that, according to the Dictionary of comics published by Larousse in 1994, Hergé has its originator and is characterized by a refined design, continuous linear stroke, profuse angularity and rejection of any shade or volume "could alter the readability of whole ", but, like any good comic reader knows, and has already made clear in writing Eduardo García Sánchez (see U, no. 21 September 2000), is simply to recreate a common inspiration: Jacobs, Hergé , Franquin, Jijé ... ie the post-war Franco-Belgian comic strip and, by extension, French literature from the late infantile and juvenile nineteenth century until World War II, for which reasons and arguments that decision.
And interestingly, he said, because Chaland it is, it ever was. Starting, for example, those rudimentary and blundering, but eclectic and willing to work Métal Hurlant captivating collected later (1979), continuing with its priceless satirical view of France in ruins or, rather, they emerge from the French ru the inas of the war in Albertito (Le jeune Albert, album compiled in 1993) and ending, alas, with his ill-fated Spirou (Coeurs d'acier, 1982). And I can not imagine a more important link in the comic European East: Spirou-Chaland, Chaland-Spirou called to set up a new era, a new standard, similar and different from that involuntarily conducive Jijé in 1946 to put the quintessential destination buttons and squirrel in the hands of a callow Andre Franquin. Do you think I exaggerate? Ah, but fortunately we have Freddy Lombard. Maybe not to the general public, and this would be the advantage of Spirou ", but for anyone who wants to take notice.
For Freddy, Lombard as the publisher of Le Journal de Tintin, the magazine also started, and precisely in 1946, is the postmodern Spirou. Sánchez García says the U and I cited: "Freddy, dreamer and enthusiastic, reminds the buttons Belgian Sweep, pragmatic and somewhat rough, is a transcript of fantasy and impossible hair, and Dina, as the squirrel Spip, is the voice of reason. " An evocative trio roams the world looking for adventure, yes, but not a penny in your pocket, conscious-as far as can be a comic-that youth is paramount, in fact, find our daily bread. Or, rather, a trio that roams the world, period. The adventure comes next. Always casual, always unexpected. Javier Fernández
