Anthology

In the late 1970s, the punk movement swept through France. A generation sauvage is preparing to renew artistic forms, including comics. It is at the heart of the most corrosive underground graphic magma that a signature all composed of frames and scratches, confusedly blue and red, violently irreverent and soon evanescent: Imagex. Five years later, In the mid-1980s, the comic book publishing landscape was a field of ruins from which a glorious succession will emerge, but the Imagex comet has already left for other creative skies. In its wake, a total of one hundred boards and above all two albums - published by Artefact and Futuropolis - which will mark several generations of authors (from Mattt Konture to Dav Guedin). One of Imagex's strengths is to have established itself as a spokesperson angry about an omnipresent and invisible abused childhood. The present anthology is an anthology of boards, sometimes unpublished, grouped around this theme and fully restored. This book is the shining proof of the timelessness of Imagex's fierce genius.
