Casterman Book Hergé-Jacobs du duo au duel (L'histoire d’une amitié créative)

€29.00
Tax included

In Hergé-Jacobs: from Duo to Duel, Éric Verhoest recounts the story of a creative friendship, marked by exceptional complicity but also by a fruitful artistic rivalry. 192 pages. French.

Hergé and Jacobs met in 1941, before beginning to work together in 1944, giving rise to a collaboration that would profoundly mark the history of comics.

From Hergé's narrative fluidity to Jacobs's hypnotic theatricality, each enriched the clear line style in their own way, a style that continues to illuminate comics.

While their worlds differed—Jacobs drawing on popular novels, German Expressionism, and dramatic chiaroscuro, Hergé on American slapstick and British humor—their works mutually enhanced each other.

This book recounts how, despite a rivalry born of success, their friendship remained intact. Through a subtle and richly illustrated analysis, the reader discovers how the collaboration of these two creators shaped and enriched the clear line aesthetic, which became the emblematic style of modern comics.

A renowned specialist in Franco-Belgian comics, Éric Verhoest has written a fascinating text that sheds light on the dual portrait of these two major artists. The book is brimming with rare and previously unpublished documents—illustrations, pages, strips, and photographs—bearing witness to their creative exchanges and offering a fresh perspective on the mutual influence that shaped their respective worlds.
