Olivier Grenson, Belgian strip cartoon artist and writer, casts an expert’s eye over Comès’s work, his graphic techniques and writing and his use of images. And finally, the artistic homage of French artist Christophe Chabouté that concludes the publication is not only grandiose, but leaves us at a loss for words…
