Afterword by Luc Delisse, with a 9 pages graphic notebook and a tribute to Philippe Delaby. Philippe Delaby (1961-2014) is a Belgian cartoonist who started his career in 1987 with the publication of his first plates in the "Journal Tintin". A first album in the register of the heroic fantasy will see the day in 1993. He starts with the success of the saga of "The North Star" (3T) in 1994 and imposes a style and confirms his maturity. But it is in 1998 that the great public success arrives with the creation of "Murena". Success which continues apd volume 5 of "Complainte des Landes perdues". In terms of influences, Delaby keeps a strong memory of La Griffe noire and L'Île maudite by Jacques Martin. He admires the works of Ingres, Raphael, Leonardo da Vinci, Jean-Léon Gérome and Michelangelo, in particular La Pietà. Delaby repeatedly produces a large number of erotic illustrations of high quality in direct color and NB
