LEO Les Mondes d'Aldébaran
Presentation
In 1994, Leo published La Catastrophe, the first volume of a science fiction saga which rapidly acquired monumental status in the world of genre comics. Leo?s fictional universe expands from one cycle to the next ? from Aldébaran to Bételgeuse and from Bételgeuse to Bellatrix ? and reading these albums we are struck by their epic sense of adventure, by their characters, each one more appealing than the last, and by the originality of Leo?s imaginary worlds and the strange beings that inhabit them. Leo?s abundant humanity shines through every page. Working in a confident style, he creates storylines with unexpected twists and turns, switching smoothly between action and reflection, humour and drama. It is worth noting that after the second episode of the Retour sur Aldébaran cycle Leo abandoned pen and paper and began working digitally. The selection of original plates displayed in this exhibition is, therefore, all the more precious on account of its rarity.
