Comic strip #27: Bijela smrt / Divlje noći / Metalna memorija
The Seven Lives of the Sparrowhawk, Poupée d’ivoire and Natacha combine historical drama and adventure in Comic Strip #27. Titeuf and Gaston add humour to three continuing stories.
Comic Strip #27 features three longer adventure stories and two humorous series. Historical drama alternates with more contemporary action, while short comic episodes provide changes of pace.
The Seven Lives of the Sparrowhawk continues with La Blanche morte, written by Patrick Cothias and illustrated by André Juillard. The series combines historical figures and fictional characters in early seventeenth-century France, developing a sweeping narrative of intertwined destinies, conflict and secrets.
Poupée d’ivoire: Nuits sauvages showcases Franz as both writer and artist. Its romantic adventure follows Timok and Yu-Lien in early twelfth-century Central Asia. Cultural encounters and the search for freedom give the story a distinctive atmosphere within the selection.
Natacha: La Mémoire de métal combines Étienne Borgers’s script with François Walthéry’s artwork. Its inclusion broadens the issue’s range and contrasts with the historical settings of the other longer features.
Titeuf and Gaston complete the selection with humour by Zep and André Franquin. The issue belongs to an ongoing magazine sequence: the longer stories appear in instalments and should be followed across neighbouring volumes.
