Description
I find Mathelot's art for this storyline to be reminiscent of Alex Raymond's style on Rip Kirby. The originals are fairly small (about 9" x 12") requiring some very finely detailed work.

Much thanks to fellow collector, Romain Verlier, who has graciously translated the note on the reverse. It makes this page so much more special for me.

Inscription: Angel ! Without you I would be stuck at home, like a roach in his fish pond. And without your help I would have never been able to get out of this car breakdown misadventure and the consequences with it. Especially finding (providing) the proper vehicle with which I will find my freedom back again. In regards of our strong friendship, I thank you for everything.

From that era, it's very rare to find a full page like this in this small size in American comics.  The level of detail would have put eye strain on most artists.
