Vertigo profitera de l’exposition de la série télévisée Lucifer pour remettre le personnage au gout du jour dans une nouvelle série supervisée par la romancière Holly Black (Les Chroniques de Spiderwick) et l’artiste Lee Garbett (Loki: Agent of Asgard).
[quote=« Black »]God is dead and Lucifer has to figure out who killed Him. I was inspired by Lucifer’s piano bar in Los Angeles, a noir setting if there ever was one, to tell this story about coming back to the place where you began.
I think all stories about the angels and devils are family stories — Heaven and Hell populated by one enormous and enormously dysfunctional family. It’s also a dynastic story, about kings and princes, rebellions and thrones. But imposing a noir structure — starring the most disillusioned detective possible and in the most corrupt setting — allowed me to approach it in a new way.[/quote]
[quote=« Garbett »]We have scenes that go from the mundane to the insane in 5 panels and there’s a lot of humor in amongst the darkness, so that’s always something I love to draw.
Lucifer himself still has his constant air of elegance and haughtiness but no matter how stoic, he’s always fascinating and I like to try and use the odd line, here and there, to give glimpses of vulnerability or uncertainty etc. Despite his best efforts to appear completely in control, there’s a lot going on, under the surface. That’s the stuff I really enjoy drawing.
That and demons. And cat-ladies. And demon cat-ladies.[/quote]

The anti-hero who made his debut in THE SANDMAN and starred in his own hit series is back in a new series by best-selling writer Holly Black (The Spiderwick Chronicles) and artist Lee Garbett (Loki)!
As this series begins, God is dead—and Gabriel has accused Lucifer of His murder. Lucifer had motive and opportunity, but claims he can prove his innocence. If Gabriel finds the killer and takes the culprit into custody, his sins will be forgotten, and he’ll be welcomed back to Silver City. So, despite the fact that Lucifer just opened a nightclub on Earth and is hiding a mysterious wound, the two brothers set off to solve their Father’s murder. Their investigation will span Heaven, Hell, Earth and beyond in this antagonistic buddy-cop noir with an angelic flair.[/quote]
