Lovecraft and Barlow Andreas? The first is a famous writer, the second is a cartoonist famous, and the third ... unknown intruders? Not quite ... In fact I discovered its existence in Posthumous revelations a strange cartoon River (Rivière-Floc'h duo) where the young talented Andreas began his career (1980) by between boards great "scratch card" and "burning Berni Wrighston way." Berni who? Read on The Black Cat Poe ;) It tells the semi-ficitfs episodes from the life of famous authors (Jules Verne, Agatha Christie ...), in fantastic moods.
Robert Howard Barlow was actually one of many young correspondents writer from Providence, who later distinguished himself as an anthropologist (Columbian). The short story tells of 8 pages friendship between two men, and sociability unexpectedly in the writer. Few indeed fantastic, and the story had quite disappointed when I discovered this album a few years ago. It was when I read the article by Jan Baeten, A fantastic silent: HP Lovecraft and RH Barlow (Image & Narrative No. 2, 2001), that I could "go" in and better understanding what it was about ...
biography of RH Barlow, imaginary friend of HP Lovecraft, which is the first book of Revelations posthumous Andrés River and is an exmple of fantasy that is spared, from antifantastique that subverts the representation of reality while denying to do so by using the narrative possibilities unique to comics. Images made to look like photographs, texts that cross the top and form a visual counterpoint to the usual alignment of boxes stacked tapes are all strategies that complement the formal omnipresence in the life story of a logic of double and rupture between related items.
