Bilal ENKI BILAL The Phalanges of the Black Order, Dargaud 1979 Original plate no. 58, previously published in Pilote Mensuel no. 57, January 1979. Signed. India ink on paper 38.3 × 49.7 cm (15.08 × 19.57 in.) *Les Phalanges de l'Ordre Noir*, written by Pierre Christin, left an indelible mark on the history of comics of its era. First published in *Libération*, this graphic novel sounds the death knell for the confrontation between the two major ideologies of the 20th century: fascism and communism. But this comic book would not be nearly as powerful without Enki Bilal’s artwork. In the late 1970s, he broke free from a certain Franco-Belgian realism through a distinctly pictorial approach dominated by textures, grays, and faces sculpted by fatigue. Bilal’s sensitive and visceral artwork conveys the end of a world even before the narrative states it, transforming the ruins of ideologies into a twilight aesthetic of unprecedented power.
