À la recherche de Peter Pan
Colored illustration, Black and white original page
A must-read diptych in the body of work by Swiss scriptwriter and comic artist Cosey (Le Bouddha d'Azur, Jonathan…), À la recherche de Peter Pan (In Search of Peter Pan) is a landmark work in the artist’s career—a personal and introspective auteur graphic novel. The artist crafts a magnificent love story set in the heart of the Valais Alps in Switzerland. In addition to his talent as a writer, Cosey reveals his graphic genius, using the white of the paper to depict the snow. This is how he created his most iconic cover. Published in 1984 following nine Jonathan albums, Cosey delivers two superb volumes, whose remarkable artwork—particularly the refined stylization of the cover of Volume 1—contributed to his worldwide fame.
