Bryan Talbot

    24 février 1952

    Bryan Talbot est une figure pionnière de la bande dessinée britannique, issu de la scène underground de la fin des années 1960. Son œuvre explore constamment des thèmes complexes, notamment la guérison des traumatismes et l'exploration existentielle, marqués par une profonde profondeur visuelle et une narration complexe. Qu'il crée des thrillers anthropomorphes de détective ou qu'il examine les intersections entre la littérature et l'histoire locale, les créations de Talbot offrent un mélange unique de stimulation intellectuelle et d'art graphique captivant. Son approche innovante du récit visuel, qui emploie souvent des séquences sans texte, transmet puissamment des émotions profondes et des idées complexes uniquement par l'image.

      The Adventures of Luther Arkwright, first serialised in 1978, is considered by many to be the first British graphic novel. Praised by many writers and artists, including Alan Moore, Neil Gaiman, Jean Giroud (Moebius) and Michael Moorcock, the ground-breaking, experimental adult SF story was a seminal work, inspiring and influencing many comic creators. Its sequel, Heart Of Empire, was published in 2001. Both books have been continually in print since they were first published. Set fifty years later, The Legend of Luther Arkwright is another stand-alone story. While still maintaining total continuity with the Arkwright mythos, it is a different kind of adult adventure. Pursued across multiple historically divergent parallel worlds, both utopian and dystopian, and facing a far superior adversary, Arkwright battles to save humanity from mass destruction; his only edge is his experience and force of will. The Legend of Luther Arkwright, beautifully drawn by master storyteller and Eisner Award-winning comics creator Bryan Talbot, is a milestone in British comics history.
