Description

Planche originale à l'encre de Chine, page 15 du "Silver Surfer, Parable" de Moebius sur un scénario de Stan Lee.

Il s'agit, dans l'histoire, de la première apparition du Surfer dans toute sa splendeur nue. Une nudité qui révèle toutes les différences avec les version précédentes, notamment celle de Jack Kirby. Le Surfer est nettement moins musclé, moins râblé, plus souple et longiligne, et sa relative faiblesse est soulignée par la dimension relativement réduite qu'il occupe dans cette première "splash page".

La "fragilité" du Surfer est renforcée par le caractère presque dérisoire de son surf, vaguement emballé, que l'on devine poussiéreux. Et son discours, d'entrée, est plutôt pathétique (voir image additionnelle), axé sur la défaite. Un super-héros moderne, presque européen, donc!

Des douzaines d'analyses ont été publiées, aux Etats-Unis surtout, consacrées à cette image (voir notamment, pour les érudits, le lien suivant et les articles référencés: http://www.comicsalliance.com/2011/04/22/jean-moebius-giraud-art/ ).

Cette page a également été utilisée comme quatrième de couverture (voir image additionnelle) dans la première version française du Surfer d'Argent, publiée en supplément de la revue "A Suivre" (1988), avant d'être reprise chez Casterman (1990) puis Soleil Production (2001). Saluons en passant la réédition, ce mois ci (mai 2012), de "Parable" chez Marvel, en version reliée: un bel hommage au Maître disparu.

Encre de Chine sur papier
Dimensions: 42 x 28 cm
Images additionnelles: version avec bulles (calque), "back cover" de la version française et page publiée en couleurs.

Merci! Et tu as tellement raison que j'en ai changé le titre de l'image... "I am called the Silver Surfer"!

The future Moebius envisions mirrors Lee's Surfer, sad and weary yet sleek and hopeful.

Wow! Moebius storytelling choices made for the most mature Stan Lee work to date. As to the art itself, Moebius line was just so expressive, this is one of my favorite books. Congrats and thanks for sharing
