Isaac le pirate numbered and signed screenprint by Christophe Blain

Captivated by Christophe Blain’s deft artwork, Champaka was only too happy to publish, in 2002, a portfolio of unpublished drawings featuring some sinister pirates. As the artist is not given to producing collectors’ items, Champaka had to wait some time before pursuing further collaborative projects with him. The masterly treatment of light and shade seen in the cover artwork for Les glaces, the second tome in the Isaac le pirate series, renewed Champaka’s fascination from the moment it appeared; the time had surely come to pay homage to this mesmerizing image, one of the finest illustrations from the hand of the creator of Gus.
