We are here in an album teeming with both graphic and narrative references, from Hergé at Maurice leblanc Passing by Late. Launched in pursuit of a Phoenician sarcophagus, we will follow the fate of Hugo de Reuhman in a mysterious and fascinating adventure taking place in a hallucinated Paris at the end of the 19th century in which we will cross Oscar Wilde or an elegant alter ego of the Knight of Eon.

As rich from a narrative as well as a graphic point of view, we wanted to know the genesis of this collaboration and how we could integrate so many references in the same story, while questioning ourselves on the period described in this book and the challenges that it imposes while waiting for a sequel which promises to be an epilogue in apotheosis. A relevant tribute to an era that remains fascinating.
