Description

Of 68 Jodelle pages, not a single piece of original artwork is known to survive. Of 61 Pravda pages, 24 are known to exist, 5 of which are now in museums. The technique developed by Peellaert for Pravda was an extension of Jodelle’s. The most immediately striking aspect of these original pages are the confidence of the black line drawing and the intensity of the colors as reproduced in Hara-Kiri. Those incredible pages measure no less than 61 x 47 cm (24” by 18.5”).

IMO, this is one of the most beautiful pages in the whole book. It is dynamic, crazy, powerful, has huge sound words, beautiful blacks, the main character, naked girls, Pravda’s panther motorcycle, a great close-up, etc., etc. Just about everything you could expect from a key work of comic book pop art.
