Suite et fin de ce brillant comics. Les quelques pages sur la mystique du tueur me paraissent d'assez mauvais goût, mais n'ôtent rien à la puissance narrative irrésistible, intimidante, de l'auteur. L'appendice (inédit ?!), retraçant l'apparition puis l'évolution de la "ripperologie" sur plus d'un siècle est irrésistible - on aimerait une mise à jour de la mise à jour ! -, même si, là encore, faire du tueur un figure quasi métaphysique force le scepticisme.
Si je comprends correctement les bribes d'une vidéo récente, le Companion offrirait bien davantage le point de vue de Campbell sur les scripts de Moore - et offrira par conséquent un parfait contrepoint à cette édition, où l'appareil critique est tout entier le faire du scénariste.
Rarement, sinon jamais, aurai-je eu comme avec cette édition un tel accès au processus de création d'une oeuvre littéraire - son (monstrueux) travail sous-jacent, ses choix, ses nuances, son décorticage des sources et de la licence créative.
