L’album,précédemment [Pour en savoir +] commercialisé via le label Vertigo il y a une dizaine d’année, a été une réjouissante lecture.
Quand bien même Incognegro est-il un ouvrage qui prend position, Mat Johnson n’oublie pas que la collection Vertigo – aussi sophistiquée soit-elle – propose, avant tout, des histoires.
Mat Johnson est aussi, pour ceux que cela intéresse, le scénariste d’une mini-série (5 numéros) consacrée à Papa Midnite (oui celui du « Hellblazerverse »), dessinée par Tony Akins & Dan Green, très à mon goût.
Et de Dark Rain, que je n’ai pas encore lu, et qui se déroule à la Nouvelle-Orleans, pendant l’ouragan Katrina.
At Harlem’s Cotton Club, the hottest scene in 1920s’ New York, Harlem’s cub reporter Zane Pinchback is on the hunt to find the femme fatale who left him for dead in the streets. To solve a murder, Zane must go ‹ ‹ Incognegro, › › using his light appearance to enter this ‹ ‹ white patrons only › › club and find the true killer.
