Muchacho #2
Muchacho - Seconde partie
Le temps est à la révolte qui gronde et à la révolution qui couve. Gabriel de la Serna, jeune séminariste, fils d'une grande famille de Managua, a pris le maquis. Il a fui en claudiquant dans la forêt. Il était venu à San Juan, petit village niché dans la montagne nicaraguayenne, pour peindre la Passion du Christ. Il y a rencontré la passion des villageois, des paysans, en butte à la répression militaire. Nourri de Justice divine, il régurgite comme un mets faisandé l'injustice du pouvoir en place et de ses hommes de main. Recueilli et soigné par les guérilleros, il renie son nom à particule et troque fusains et crayons de couleurs contre des armes autrement percutantes. En "soulevant la peau des choses", Gabriel découvre aussi son humanité, faite de chair et de désirs...
Violence immorale de la répression qui brise l'âme et le corps, violence idéale de l'élan révolutionnaire vers l'improbable, l'impossible liberté, violence du courage et de l'abnégation, violence du renoncement et de la trahison, violence de l'homme neuf qui se défait de sa peau d'enfant, violence des sentiments, des désirs, de la passion, rien n'est violence, tout est humain.
Dessinateur hors pair et coloriste lumineux, avec ce second tome, qui clôt magistralement Muchacho, Emmanuel Lepage se révèle un scénariste inspiré, exhalant le souffle des grands écrivains de bande dessinée.

L'histoire est moins intéressante dans ce deuxième volume que dans la première partie, mais le dessin est toujours aussi époustouflant. Rien que les deux pages couvertures démontrent l'évolution du personnage principal. Pour le premier livre, un garçon à peine sorti de la puberté, en soutane, une grande tristesse dans les yeux. Pour le second, un jeune homme dont le visage enfantin laisse place aux pommettes masculines plus matures et à un regard violent et passionné.
Ça donne envie de voir les autres trucs que Lepage a faits...

I'll first mention that I regard "La Terre Sans Mal" as the greatest art narrative that I've ever read, to my sensibilities absolutely irreproachable in the museum quality of his brushwork and panel composition while painting Sibran's incredibly emotionally engaging story, so I entered this with the highest of expectations- totally met across⇄the⇄board!
Narrative: *****
I knew nothing about Nicaragua, besides the taste of its coffee, before this and appreciate* learning about States puppet governing getting uncharacteristically ousted. The cast of characters was wonderful in their desperations and motivations as they moved through the harsh terrains within an appropriately kinetic plot, swift to an abrupt end where it could have remained, but then the meaty epilogue was CRUCIAL towards understanding the difference between the story and what happened in history.
The progression of his homosexuality is handled expertly as well, laying all the clues subtly in the first tome as he himself self·felt·it·out, then a bit more obvious here where characteristic initiatory action-awkwardness bumps it to the front of the plot and his emotional responses are observed without any of the blatancy that can hurt legitimacy.
Visual: *****
AN AS~STUNNING~AS~IT~GETS A¹CALIBER MASTERPIECE
⁽ö⁾¡Treat!⁽ö⁾
Pages 70-73, or 68-71 inside panels, are painted by the modern master Christian Rossi, where I assume he was attempting to mimic Lepage, in which he does an excellent job with fooling me besides farther↟away people betraying his more →CondensedFaces←. I think they were even studio mates, allowing for such a seemless swap, between two future Global Hall-of-Famers!
*I'm well aware that the reason I advantage from living in the world's most powerful country is its ability to manipulate others, so that patriotic↭shame finds refuge in these stories especially where the meddling gets 180ed (albeit by...).
