Baru page 381 from L'Autoroute du Soleil

I saw this page on a potential trade list and kept coming back to it. It is from his most famous work and a decent page at that. What kept me coming back was the movement on the page and the expressions. I liked the way the big guy is first upset then smiles as he sees opportunity and then falls back and kicks the gun away. On the page just before this, the big guy is disarmed while walking by the guy with the cane who ambushes him. Neat page. Love the inking on this book too. This page says 382 on it but in the copy I have it is 381.

I liked his brief biography on lambiek too. Start with

Because his communist parents were convinced there was no bread to be earned in drawing, Baru first became a gym teacher before embarking on a career in comics.

How much better could a biography start:)
