Énergies noires

by Jesse Jacobs

SHORTLISTED AT THE 2022 ANGOULEME INTERNATIONAL COMICS FESTIVAL

Translated from English by Madani

Jesse Jacobs' books invent an ecosystem governed by unknown physical and biological laws. Weird creatures, evil objects, Jesse Jacobs likes to twist the all-too-familiar stereotypes of fantasy.

Taking up two short stories originally published by Italian publisher Hollow Press, this opus is a new opportunity for the author to explore and divert classic literary themes. Entre mes murs follows a young couple on a real estate visit. But the house they are planning to buy feels like an intrusion, and will play tricks on them to show its hostility. A variation on the haunted house theme, Entre mes murs adopts a radical point of view: that of the house taking revenge on humanity and its destructive consumerism.

A dark retelling of the myth of the wild child, the second story, Parmi les bêtes tells the tale of a child taken in and raised by strange but caring beasts on an inhospitable moor. After Safari lune de miel, Jesse Jacobs is once again a zoologist, depicting an unknown species of animal and showing us its life and reproduction cycle, which is at once marvelous and repulsive. But the simplicity of life in the herd contrasts with the coldness of the child. Maybe monsters aren't what we think they are…

Jesse Jacobs brings his meticulous, geometric and precise drawing to bear on two tales of darkness and misanthropy.
