The second arc of FATALE begins here! In modern times, Nicolas Lash hunts for more information about the mysterious Josephine… while in mid-1970s Los Angeles, Jo is trying to establish a new life. But this is post-free love LA, post Manson Family LA, and the hills of Hollywood have dark secrets all their own. BRUBAKER and PHILLIPS’s horror-noir masterpiece continues![/quote]
Ouais, c’est assez discrètement lovecraftien, mais sur l’ensemble du premier arc. Un peu comme si un écrivain de hard boiled genre Mickey Spillane avait participé au mythe de Cthulhu. Mais sans le dire explicitement. C’est vraiment très sympa. Et effectivement, le premier arc avait laissé la forte impression de gros non-dit, et appelait très fort une suite. La voilà donc !

[quote=« Ed Brubaker »]The very, very ending – like the last three pages – are exactly how I planned from when I first started jotting down ideas for it. It’s interesting – I thought that the last arc was going to come after the four standalone stories. I thought we’d go right from there into the modern day. But when I was writing the Medieval one, suddenly I thought, « I can’t jump from 1979 to modern times. I need room to tell the whole story, and I haven’t really shown all the sides of Josephine. We’ve never seen her fully let loose. What would the nightmare be if she didn’t even know what was going on? » And then I realized that was a great noir trope – the character who has amnesia and doesn’t know what’s going on. I thought it would be really messed up if Josephine was the one who didn’t remember, and I started playing that out. It gave me a chance to do the '90s because I’d done the '50s and the '70s already. So jumping from the '90s to today felt natural.
And everything that came up in that arc helped me get to the ending. I always knew what the basics of the ending were, but I never knew exactly how I’d get there.[/quote]
