Hilda

Hilda #1

by Hanz Kovacq

Chaque nuit, Hilda fait un elle se retrouve dans la peau de la princesse Hildegarde. Au XIIIe siècle déjà, l'homme avait mis au point un certain nombre de lieux, d'objets et d'instruments destinés à faire subir les pires sévices à son prochain. Ou encore à sa prochaine. Hilda, est bien la réincarnation de la princesse Hildegarde qu'un tribunal ecclésiasticolubrique souhaitait condamner pour sorcellerie, crimes, inceste, parricide, matricide, fornication avec les démons. Au vu de cette longue liste, la geôle qu'Hildegarde occupait risque de se transformer rapidement en lupanar pour tous les vicelards de l'Inquisition.

In a 13th-century European kingdom, the sadistic and whorish Queen Valgerda poisons her competitors -- King Kharl and his wife -- and frames their innocent daughter, Princess Hildegarde, for the crime. Valgerda soon falls in love with the princess, who is found guilty of regicide and sentenced to burning at the stake. In her tearful desperation Queen Valgerda prays to Satan, asking him to intervene and let the princess become her immortal beloved. Her prayer is answered -- but not in the way she expected.

The elegant artwork and delightfully twisted storyline jumps back and forth between the dark superstitious medieval time and the "enlightened" modern world. Palace intrigues, incest, rampant pansexuality, sadomasochism, themes of devil worship and tentacle orgy dazzled even my thoroughly jaded mind. The character of Valgerda, while an archetypal Evil Queen/Femme Fatale, is so blinded by her love for Hildegarde that she gets into a big trouble herself with the Devil. I've found her passionate prayer to Satan, inflamed by wanton lust and unrequited love, absolutely priceless.

Too bad not much information is available on the artist, except his real name is Bernard Duffossé.

Superbi disegni per una storia che ha anche un senso, e non è come la maggior parte (la quasi totalità, per essere onesti) dei fumetti erotici, dove le storie sono spesso solo una scusa per disegnare rapporti sessuali più o meno espliciti. In questo caso, invece, Jovacq (bravissimo disegnatore, peraltro) imbastisce una storia credibile, fatta di flashback nel Medioevo e di momenti attuali, il tutto con un tocco di soprannaturale. Un'opera diversa, nettamente superiore alla quasi totalità dei fumetti erotici. Imperdibile per gli amanti del genere.
