Matthew Durand being spent full time on Team Rafale, and transplant of a second pair of arms had not held, it was necessary to get the facts: Jack Blues had to change a designer. This has not been without pain for the great Matthew, who loved to draw the alluring curves of Jane Bomb and other starlets quite punchy, and incidentally those shapely as some mythical flying machines of the fifties.
Our editor emeritus has therefore started hunting and we had tracked down ... Jean-Michel Arroyo, a young and talented designer whose line fairly clear line was what we wanted for the series.
The only problem is that ... he had never designed aircraft. But the guy was motivated and very well looked after, and with good experience, having released eight albums ( Frequently Asked curly (1), the liner sands (4), Pierre Baumont (2) and adaptation of Germinal in 92 boards (forthcoming), from a screenplay by the great Philippe Chanoinat ("The Big" ... damn, if he reads this, I'll find scattered throughout Montpellier puzzle so ...).
Jean-Michel, coached by our "publisher aviation photographer" in sharp eye, Matthew and myself, went very well for himself, as you'll be able to account for it. He now knows that the depth is not only a look, a field or the ocean, but is the command used to move the aircraft on its pitch axis, and the bantering is not a diminutive of banter, but the speedometer on the dashboard. In fact, he even made flights to the flying club Beziers, it is their interest in the things of the air ...
looks like Big Bob is a good seed aero design, this little guy! We f'ra quec'chose!
He has kept the style defined by Matthew while adding his personal touch, with a scene very dynamic, very expressive faces.
wish him a long and happy career in the exciting if the comic aeronautics.
Welcome to you Jean-Michel!
