Chaland
Because, says the biography section of his website, enjoyed a peaceful childhood in the provinces, although other less complacent biographers speak of poverty and abuse. Anyway, Freddy Lombard shares its creator's sensitivity to economic difficulties in the real world. And in this, the BD stands Chaland aside the usual open and simple aesthetics of the rest of the components of the Atom line, clear line subgroup with which it is associated.
It is no coincidence that the first adventure of Lombard,'s will Godofrío de Bouillon (Le testament of Godefroid de Bouillon, 1981) begins with the trio leaving in the middle of the road, an old-and-cheap rental car damaged that, to make matters worse, I was almost out of gas. Or later, and after a walk in the rain, the excuse that leads to the three porters to adventure is the account of the roast they have consumed in the hotel restaurant at the entrance of Bouillon. Or rather, the fact of not having money for pay. "Bills, bills forever," growls Freddy at the beginning of the second story of the two that make up the elephant's graveyard (Le cimetiere des Elephants, 1984) and insecurity
accompanies the characters in The Comet of Carthage (Le Cartha committed on ge, 1986), the third album in the series, and first collaboration with the script of the magnificent Yann Lepennetier. Lepennetier also appears in the credits Budapest Holidays (Vacances à Budapest, 1988) and F.52 (1989), final installment of the adventures of Freddy Lombard, stopped short by a deadly car accident that killed the artist in July 1990.
These three albums written in tandem with Lepennetier remain as one of the milestones of contemporary BD. In them, Chaland reached the summit of his own art and cartoon art, such bound reserved for a handful of names. If Comet of Carthage is a beautiful, unexpected and exciting opera, Holidays in Budapest reinterprets the Franco-Belgian comic in political. In the words of Chaland, including Glénat in editing: "When I started working at Holidays in Budapest, sprang from the fact that comics of the fifties, type Spirou, Tintin, etc.., Had made no allusion to the drama Budapest, to crush the uprising by Soviet tanks, while Hungary is next door, about 400 km from home. It is assumed that the comic is an art that addresses issues of his time, but had never talked about that. " F.52, meanwhile, is a delirious thriller set in the space of a giant nuclear-powered aircraft, and with this album involuntarily closes the circle: in the beginning, Freddy, Sweep and Dina F. modest employees 52, try to fix the four cans which lead to massive launch. They had a puncture. They have no spare wheel. Could not be otherwise. Javier Fernández
