Description
"The Desert Samaritan"
I first heard about Frank king in a Chris Ware biography. It had in it, a reproduction of a panel with 2 boys around a fireplace from "Bobby Make-Believe". The panel was from 1915 and i was amazed by its poetry and ressemblance with Hergé....
This "The Desert Samaritan" strip has it all for me: the landscape, the Navajo, and a storytelling both classic and modern reminding me the best page of Hergé in "The Crab with the Golden Claws " and Moebius in "The Airtight Garage of Jerry Cornelius".
