Frison-Roche from the comic strip side
Chartrainer Jean-François Vivier ( read our August 5 edition) has just adapted a fourth novel by Roger Frison-Roche into a comic strip, The forgotten track, published by Editions du Rocher. This opus follows the release of three other adaptations: First in line, The big crevasse and Return to the mountains.
Jean-François Vivier, passionate about comics and history, has also published several biographies in images, such as those of Tom Morel, Franz Stock, Honoré d’Estienne-d’Orves or Geneviève de Gaulle-Anthonioz. For The forgotten track, the Chartrain worked with the illustrator Beniamino Delvecchio, virtuoso artist of the pencil who took the continuation of Pierre-Emmanuel Dequest with the brushes. “It is always a work of framing in common, an incessant interaction, accomplice, between the screenwriter and the designer, which nourishes and builds the album”, explains Jean-François Vivier.
Prolix
This incredibly verbose author does not suffer from the effervescent creation of this publishing sector (5,000 different titles each year). His albums sell an average of 6,500 copies and several titles have been reissued.
The forgotten track is a novel of adventure and exploration, written by Roger Frison-Roche in 1950, about an intrigue in a barely pacified Algerian Hoggar, where its fascinating inhabitants still clash. An adventure, partly interior, in the middle of the grandiose landscapes of the mountainous desert.
Convenient. The forgotten track, after Roger Frison-Roche. € 14.90.
