Description

BENO�T BRISEFER
(STEVEN STRONG)
THE RED CABS
Indian ink on paper, plate 51. Dupuis Publishing, 1962.
Publication: Newspaper Spirou n�1221, 1960. 17 x 12,6 in.

Estimate : 25 000 - 35 000 �

Beno�t Brisefer is the antithesis of the typical American superhero. When the small and frail Beno�t Brisefer lifts a
car with one hand, the exploit seems all the more exceptional than when the muscly Superman does likewise (cover of Superman no. 19, 1942). The stark contrast between the tiny Beno�t and the enormous car is striking, a large panel was necessary to accentuate this. The touch of morale given by the school teacher is in total
contrast to the violence and tension of the action. The entire world of Beno�t, and all of the codes in the series, are focused into this one panel, the most exceptional of the album. The third panel was additionally reinterpreted
to become the album cover.
As Peyo no longer had sufficient time to complete all of his comic series together, and no longer being so familiar with urban surroundings, he would recruit the assistance of Willy Maltaite, aka Will � the illustrator of Tif et Tondu and Isabelle � for the urban illustrations in the first two albums of the series. The backdrops remain rather discrete, allowing the action to take to the fore and to emphasise Peyo�s illustration.

BENO�T BRISEFER
LES TAXIS ROUGES
Encre de Chine pour la planche 51 de cet album, 1er album de la s�rie, publi� en 1962 aux �ditions Dupuis. Pr�publi�e dans le journal Spirou n�1221 en 1960. Format : 43 x 32 cm. Encadr�e.
Estimation : 25 000 � 35 000 �

Beno�t Brisefer est l�antith�se des super-h�ros � l�am�ricaine. Lorsque le petit et fr�le Beno�t Brisefer porte � bout de bras une voiture, l�exploit nous para�t nettement plus exceptionnel que lorsque le bodybuild� Superman fait de m�me (couverture de la revue Superman n�19, 1942).
Le contraste entre la petitesse de Beno�t et l��normit� de la voiture est saisissant, une grande case �tait n�cessaire pour l�accentuer. La touche de morale insuffl�e par la ma�tresse d��cole est en total contraste avec la violence et la tension de l�action. Tout l�univers et tous les codes de la
s�rie sont concentr�s dans cette planche, la plus exceptionnelle de cet album. La case 3 sera d�ailleurs r�interpr�t�e pour devenir la couverture
de l�album. Peyo n�ayant plus le temps n�cessaire pour mener � bien conjointement toutes ses s�ries et n��tant pas non plus tr�s familier des d�cors urbains, s�adjoindra l�aide de Willy Maltaite alias Will � le dessinateur de Tif et
Tondu et Isabelle � pour le dessin des d�cors urbains des deux premiers albums de la s�rie. Ces arri�re-plans restent toujours tr�s discrets, permettant la mise en lumi�re de l�action et la valorisation du dessin de Peyo.
