He recounts the violence of the fighting, the living conditions of the soldiers, the absurdity and cruelty of the war. Always at the forefront of the conflict, without ever taking part in it, he witnesses the solidarity and heroism of the men who fight.\nBack cover\nThis third volume offers a new collection of Ernie Pike's chronicles: nine, to be exact, in very diverse formats ranging from five pages to eighteen pages for the longest story, La patrouille. Two of these stories are previously unpublished in French: Le baptême du feu and La confession. This new volume of Ernie Pike benefits, like the two previous ones, from a coloring directed by Patrizia Zanotti, who was already the colorist for Pratt's work during the artist's lifetime.\nAbout the author and additional contributors\nHector Oesterheld worked with Hugo Pratt during his Argentine period, notably on Ernie Pike, published in 1957. They developed the drawings and scripts together, which explains why it is so difficult to fairly distinguish between each other's work. Oesterheld then pursued his own career as a comic book author, without however achieving the success of Hugo Pratt.\n\nHugo Pratt (1927-1995) is unanimously considered one of the greatest cartoonists in the world. His comic strips, graphic works, and watercolors are exhibited in the largest museums, from the Grand Palais to the Pinacothèque de Paris, not to mention the Vittoriano in Rome, Ca' Pesaro in Venice, Santa Maria della Scala in Siena. He himself defined his stories as \"drawn literature.\" He is cited by authors and artists such as Tim Burton, Frank Miller, Woody Allen, Umberto Eco, Paolo Conte. He lived in Italy, Argentina, England, France, and Switzerland. A great traveler, he has practically crossed the rest of the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9782203344303\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e French\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eItem Condition:\u003c\/b\u003e Collectible - Like New\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Comic-Helden","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48090303070545,"sku":"7O-G86I-694Q","price":12.71,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0797\/3791\/3681\/products\/51WYt9sfcTL_0ca28859-6b93-4f63-a80a-d7af30ce1d2e.jpg?v=1709563761","url":"https:\/\/comic-helden.shop\/en-de\/products\/ernie-pike","provider":"Comic-Helden","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
