A couple of months ago on the blog we featured the portraits that Belgian cartoonist Frank Pé painted of the stars of the Franco-Belgian comics tradition. Currently the supreme French comics information site BoDoi is running a series of similar paintings by Frank’s compatriote Samuel Stento, author of the book Pourquoi Pas.
(Samuel Stento’s quite gorgeous take on the legendary Hugo Pratt’s Corto Maltese for the BoDoi series)
The series – Ceci n’est pas de la BD, par Samuel Stento – started on Monday and will run until the end of next week. So far, it has featured portraits of Franquin’s anti-hero Gaston Lagaffe, Zeb’s enfant terrible Titeuf and the most romantic of all heroes, Corto Maltese by Hugo Pratt. An interview with Stento can be read on the BoDoi site
