Will - Rosy, Tif, and Tondu, plate no. 5 in India ink with w - Lot 275

Will - Rosy, Tif, and Tondu, plate no. 5 in India ink with white gouache highlights from the episode “La Main blanche,” published in Spirou magazine no. 874 on January 13, 1955. This dynamic composition shows the heroes on the boat facing the enigmatic map of “La Main blanche.” In terms of artwork, the artist collaborated with André Franquin on this story. Franquin handled the layout and pencil sketches. This is why Will, influenced by his brilliant colleague and friend, refined this so-called “atome” style, characterized by a design full of curves that is marked by dynamic thick and thin lines. A perfect embodiment of this style, this panel is a highlight of the work and remains a true treasure of Franco-Belgian comics. It showcases an artist who is a true master of his craft in a well-balanced scene that blends adventure and humor. Unmounted. Dimensions: 49 x 35.3 cm.
