A new album by fan favorite Tony Sandoval for Glenat's Porn'pop "Erotic" line of graphic novels. While Tony's comics typically have sexual or erotic overtones, this is Tony's first explicitly X-rated comic.

In evidence are all of Tony's usual themes and elements: coming-of-age, young love, lesbianism, emerging sexuality, serpents, rock music, and cosmic horror. Here Tony pushes the Cronenbergian body horror and there is a cosmic mystery at the center of the story, so the Erotic label in my opinion is a bit of a red herring.

From the publisher:

One spring day, on the wild shores of a marshy pond, Gloria has an astonishing erotic dream. A strange, pale man appears, as if emerging from the waves, naked. They make love. And if this ephemeral relationship remains only a hazy memory for Gloria, she discovers a more tangible aftereffect: a strange growth from her vagina when she is aroused: a pink penis...

Tony Sandoval is a brilliant artist who, like Tim Burton, creates a new visual and poetic universe for each work. Oscuro en rosa is a work as unexpected as it is welcome, which evokes Guillermo Del Toro's The Shape of Water, and manages to fascinate by the formidable exchange it builds between attraction and fear.

Résumé

Au terme d'une journée printanière, sur les rives sauvages d'un point d'eau marécageux, Gloria s'est surprise à tomber dans un étonnant songe érotique. Un homme étrange, albinos, lui est apparu, comme émergeant des flots, arrivant nu. Ensemble, ils ont fait l'amour et de cette relation éphémère n'est resté à Gloria qu'un souvenir brumeux ainsi qu'une étrange excroissance au niveau de l'entrejambe : un nouvel appendice s'apparentant à un pénis rose. Cette transformation a éveillé en elle de nouveaux désirs et Gloria vit ces changements comme une nouvelle existence. Les bouleversements dans son corps altèrent sa relation au monde et rendent son quotidien bien plus excitant qu'auparavant…

Tony Sandoval est un artiste brillant qui, à la manière de Tim Burton, fabrique pour chaque œuvre un nouvel univers visuel et poétique. Son dessin, d'une grande sensibilité, parvient à combiner dans les pages d'Oscuro en rosa : langage érotique, métaphores initiatiques et délires surréalistes. Un ouvrage aussi inattendu que bienvenu qui évoque La Forme de l'Eau de Guillermo Del Toro et parvient à fasciner par le formidable échange qu'il construit entre attraction et inhibition.

Sandoval, Tony
