The 10th anniversary of Collection Scripture –since 2002 Scriptures has welcomed both new talent and translations of foreign works remarkable for their ambition, their quality or sophisticated narrative. Jiro Taniguchi became the figurehead of authors from all walks of geographical and narrative (Baru, Seth, Mattotti, Craig Thompson, Chester Brown, Georges Bess, Kim Dong-hwa, to name few) often inspired by literature.
To accompany this tenth anniversary, Casterman proposed ten authors from all backgrounds (some French as Cati Baur or Fred Bernard, but also many foreigners, Anglo-Saxon, Japanese or European) each create an original story of twenty boards, from a “pitch” common. The leader of La Villa on East Cliff Benoit Sokal: by the sea, a storm of unusual violence has literally halved a villa situated on a rocky promontory, suddenly exposing the curiosity of all the intimacy a household and a family, in a curious spectacle combining the incongruous and the indecent …
The ten authors in Villa on the cliff are Cati Baur, Fred Bernard, Hannah Berry, Isabel Kreitz, Gabrielle Piquet, Nate Powell, Davide Reviati, Sylvain Saulne, Kan Takahama, Jiro Taniguchi.
Some very nice art styles on show here -showing just why French publishers and BD fans are spoilt!
