About the author
Luiz Eduardo de Oliveira (Leo)
106 books173 followersLuiz Eduardo de Oliveira (born on December 13, 1944 in Brazil),[1] more famous under his artist name LEO is a Brazilian comics creator.
After having graduated as an engineer in mechanics, Oliveira left Brazil because of the military dictatorship that was in power at the time. He went first to Chile, but the following year saw the Chilean coup of 1973. This led Oliveira to leave, moving to Argentina, from where he finally returned to Brazil in 1974.
He found work as an illustrator in the advertising industry of São Paulo, before once more leaving Brazil, in 1981, this time moving to France, hoping to illustrate comics. However as the Franco-Belgian comics industry was in recession at the time, he was forced to work in advertising once again, although he managed to get the occasional piece published in L'Écho des savanes and Pilote.
In 1986, with the assistance of Jean-Claude Forest, Oliveira began contributing to the youth dedicated magazines of Bayard Presse. He illustrated true stories for Okapi magazine. He then recounted Mahatma Gandhi's life in the album Gandhi, le pèlerin de la paix, for Astrapi.
In 1988, the comics writer Rodolphe asked him to provide the artwork for his stories. Their collaboration proved fruitful, producing 8 albums of material for their Trent series and 5 for their Kenya one.
In 1993, Oleveira finally achieved an old dream when Dargaud agreed to publish his first solo series: Aldébaran. In 2000, after 5 volumes of Aldébaran, he launched Bételgeuse, which was nominated for the Prize for a Series at the Angoulême International Comics Festival in 2004.

These three Leo Space Operas have certainly grown on me! It's been a chrono-skewy spree that's caused plenty of buggery and uncertainty but made me more intrigued with the entirety from needing to revisit so many curiosities.

I got properly hooked by this after reading Épisode 1, and ploughed enthusiastically through the rest of the sequence. I felt that Leo is on top of his game here, balancing the travails of the exploration party (led of course by Kim, who is the heroine of the entire story) with the story of the evil fundamentalist cultists who are trying to assert control over the entire colony and put women like Kim in their place. At the same time the sensawunda is maintained, with the last volume knitting together strands from the Aldébaran and Bételgeuse cycles to reach a pretty satisfying conclusion to Kim's story, all as ever gorgeously illustrated.

Antarès cache beaucoup des surprises, et rarement des bonnes! Entre la faune et les machinations de la secte religieuse, ce n’est pas du tout facile pour Kim et les autres. Même quand on revoit des animaux qu’on a déjà rencontré tout au début. Est-ce que Kim et sa groupe vont réussir à remporter le jour, ou pas ?
Un autre tome bien écrit, toujours très jolis à lire, et fascinant dans ses images et les idées/les conflits qu’il propose. À continuer !
(Oui, c’est une commentaire très très courte qui ne dis pas grande chose, mais je suis fatiguée et je dois me réveiller dans 3 heures pour commencer mon voyage pour passer les fêtes avec ma famille, loin d’ici.)

Continuano le peripezie dei protagonisti, che devono anche far fronte,ad una deriva integralista cattolica, fortunatamente sedata in fretta. Il pianeta si continua a mostrare mortale, tra l’altro... ma la storia prende la piega decisiva: 2si va verso un altro pianeta ancora, a cercare una razza sicuramente più evoluta degli umani. Che cosa troveranno i protagonisti?

The fourth episode, and events unfold rapidly, make this an engaging read. Clearly the author is no fan of extremist religion, but recent events seem to show he’s right to be suspicious of it, particularly where it comes to women's rights. A fair bit of pretty gratuitous (female) nudity in there, but that’s Leo for you.

Recent Reads: Antares Episode 4. More of Leo's Worlds of Aldebaran. Kim's daughter has vanished, while they struggle to get home. Signs of intelligent alien life on a nearby world may be the source of the disappearances. But conflict in the colony could upset everything.

Oh là là, c’est vraiment l’enfer cette planète, pire que Betelgeuse... Entre la faune, la flore et les colons sexistes... J’ai hâte de voir ce que nous réservent les derniers tomes.

The road trip continues and the story is a little less interesting than before. The thing that really captures my imagination though is the beautiful illustrations of Antares and its fauna and flora.

As part of the Antares series continues an excellent plot and drawings.

Continuing the narrative from the third album, Antares: Episode 4 follows Kim Keller's team on their way back to the human settlement on Antares 4, where the religious cult behind the company in charge of the colonisation are implenting more and more restrictions. Having seen her hybrid daughter disappear, and strongly suspecting that she has been transported to Antares 5, Kim is desperate not only to return to camp, but to be part of the mission to the other planet, where the humans now suspect there is intelligent life. The latter is obviously an important thing for the religious leaders, who believe themselves to be the best representatives for human civilisation in a first contact scenario (while not suspecting that Kim has in fact already been through one such scenario on Betelgeuse).
Leo's world building keeps expanding his storyworld and the result is glorious.

this series continues to astound me. With each volume, it only grows in stature in my eyes. the drawings are exquisite works of imagination. I love the dino-inspired creatures inhabiting leo's planets. moreover, the story is now building up to a grand climax. this volume and the last one delves on religion and philosophy. it suggests that man probably does not have a right to colonize other planets, interrupting natural evolution, just because earth is uninhabitable. I'm disappointed that the series will draw to a close in the next two volumes.

L'histoire avance doucement et pas vraiment d'intrigues parallèles à présent que l'équipe de Kim est revenue à la base. Les seules attentes qui subsistent c'est qu'on a envie de savoir ce qu'est devenue la fille de Kim et à quoi ressemble cette nouvelle planète et ses habitants.
