Loisel RÉGIS LOISEL THE QUEST FOR THE BIRD OF TIME The Temple of Oblivion (Vol. 2), Dargaud 1984 Original plate no. 11, previously published in Charlie Mensuel no. 15, June 1983. Signed. Indian ink and white gouache on paper 37.7 × 50 cm (14.84 × 19.69 in.) 1 This panel from The Quest for the Bird of Time demonstrates the power of Loisel’s drawing and storytelling. More than just an action scene, it depicts a psychological turning point: Bragon realizes that Pélisse is no longer the child he used to protect, but a heroine capable of facing her destiny. The panel layout alternates with remarkable fluidity between wide shots, close-ups, and tight framing, with a shifting focal length, creating a breathless rhythm, particularly in the penultimate panel. Yet Loisel always prioritizes emotion over spectacle. His linework is dynamic, lively, and brimming with energy; every pose and every face conveys a nuanced emotion. This panel explains why *La Quête de l’Oiseau du Temps* resonated with its audience and became one of the most significant Franco-Belgian comics of its era.
