Vadot and Guéret
provide us with a sort of fairytale, hallmarked with
originality. Their perfectly orchestrated
tale guides the reader
through to his innermost self. A remarkable success.
(Ouest France)
Mister S is a total joy. A mixture of wordy
politics, magic, fantasy, love, wit and serious thinking.
One to be
added to your graphic
novel collection ASAP.
(RTBF)
While recognising its originality, I was undecided about
the first album in this series. My doubts have been
swept away by this
second volume which is magnificent in its mastery. Its
underlying rhythm is the product
of precision mechanics.
(BD Sélection)
Crowned with several prestigious awards, the first
volume of Gerry Geronimo achieved more than
critical
esteem. Vadot and
Guéret were not overwhelmed by the public recognition,
rather they took on board their
critiques and went
back to the drawing-board to produce what is undoubtedly
a great success.
(L'Echo)
This second album is just as inventive as its
predecessor, if not more. Vadot's drawing style has
developed
a real graphic novel
dimension: the graphic breaks in rhythm make the reader
delightfully dizzy while the use
of colour which is
more expert and therefore more subtle makes our duo’s
dreamlike ravings very distinctive.
(Le Vif/L'Express)
This tale, remarkable in its intelligence, takes plots
which have been conspired from outside the realm of
consciousness and
makes them reality. A disconcerting fable which
confronts the reader with their own insecurities.
(20 Minutes)
The simple pleasure of seeing Gerry parading in his car
while his people chorus their national anthem
“Love Me Tender” makes
the purchase of this book a complete must.
(Calliope)
One of the strong points of this book is its continued
exploration of Simon Glonek's inner life through a
political
eye. Vadot and Guéret
tell a story, but at the same time succeed in making
their mark in this
category of schizophrenic,
entertaining and intelligent graphic novels which they
invented and exploit
with great talent.
Long live Gerry
Geronimo!
(BullesBizarres.com)
This is intelligent and so incredibly original! A
graphic novel which goes against current trends and is
for
readers of all ages.
(ActuSF.com)
Beneath its comic exterior Gerry Geronimo in fact
conceals a graphic novel of some depth. Good idea to
read it in two
sittings.
(Phosphore)
A true delight, this series is a sophisticatedly subtle
mixture of romance, psychology and political thriller.
(Nord Eclair)
This second volume of the adventures of Gerry
Geronimo is staggering! Mister S is simply
one of the best
albums of the year.
