    Moby Dick from Herman Melville

    Christophe Chabouté tackles the transposition into comic book of a magnificent literary classic, the story of captain Ahab's obsession for the enormous white whale, of which he delivers a shorter version, devoid of the lengthy and detailed nautical descriptions found in the novel. The wonderful black and white plates draw readers into the depths of the story and Chabouté's masterful use of ink allows him to create extremely evocative contrasts, alternating scenes on a black background where the characters' faces, the rain or details of the Pequod stands out with others on a white background where shadows, ropes, the ship's masts and the characters' clothes are highlighted. And then, the sea. At times white with black ripples, other times as black as oil, contrasting with the white sails, the seagulls and, obviously, the white whale, which plunges into the gloomy sea depths dragging Ahab along, tangled in the ropes of the harpoon he was going to use to capture what cannot be captured.
