From \u201cPurple Slideshows,\u201d by Nicole Claveloux.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

I\u2019ve been deeply in love with the work of Nicole Claveloux for close to forty years, which is strange because until the New York Review of Comics reissue of\u00a0The Green Hand<\/em><\/a>, I\u2019d never actually read one of her stories. I don\u2019t read French, but more to the point, it somehow seemed perilous to focus in any way on the text, as I feared it could only diminish the mysterious power of her images.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

I first saw her name in Heavy Metal<\/em> magazine when I was in high school and, soon after, through some miracle, managed to blunder across a French album of her work called La main verte<\/em>. I remember standing in the mildewed chaos of Larry\u2019s Comics in Chicago (RIP), transfixed by the beautiful, electrified colors\u2014unlike any I\u2019d seen before (or since). I took it home and obsessed over every panel, drawn into an intimate, immersive private dream world of deep and complicated emotions, an obsession that has only deepened over the years with the acquisition of further volumes of her work, thanks to French eBay and my NYRC editors.<\/p>\n

Nitpickers and amateur sleuths may wonder how I could claim never to have read one of her stories while noting their appearance in an English-language magazine in the very next line, but both the bad reproduction quality and the slick relettering repelled my sensitive young eyeballs. To replace her fragile text with italicized pre\u2013Comic Sans\u2013ish shouting was like watching an Ozu film dubbed by a troupe of drivetime DJs. So I skimmed and squinted, holding out (for thirty years, as it turns out) for the optimal experience.<\/p>\n

I can offer no more biographical info about Ms. Claveloux than a page-one Google search, and I\u2019m surely no expert on French comics history (though I do have some special favorites from that astonishing post-Underground era, like Yves Chaland, Serge Clerc, and Chantal Montellier, all published by Les Humano\u00efdes Associ\u00e9s). But, freed from the bonds of responsible scholarship, I can testify to how the work strikes me on a purely visceral level. Like the early films of David Lynch, there\u2019s a recognizable, fully imagined world made to vibrate with genuine emotion and mystery by a fearless inward-focused artistic self-assurance and an intensely felt clarity of vision. This boldness is present throughout her work, from the fluid ease of the drawings to her dazzling stylistic shifts\u2014from Crumb-level high detail to Heinz Edelman\u2013esque playfulness in the span of a few panels. She is, to me, a crucial figure in the all-important transition from the early Undergrounds of the 1960s to the present day. I see her distinct influence in my own comics and those of many others of my generation and younger (Julie Doucet seems perhaps the closest to a direct heiress) who may well have never heard of her.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The body of her comics work is not large. The stories in The Green Hand<\/em>\u00a0were taken mainly from the aforementioned La main verte<\/em> (1978) and Le petit l\u00e9gume qui r\u00eavait d\u2019\u00eatre une panth\u00e8re et autres r\u00e9cits<\/em> (1980). Another album, Morte-saison<\/em> (1979), deserves a full reprinting. She has, during and since that period, had a very successful career as a children\u2019s-book illustrator, but I think she deserves far more recognition for her stunning comics work. Her collaborator, Edith Zha, was a gifted surrealist and had a true artistic symbiosis with her brilliant visualist, and the organic, mysterious radiance of these stories is only enhanced by her contributions. And now that I\u2019ve finally had a chance to read the stories (with excellent faux-Claveloux lettering by Dustin Harbin), I can say that any fears were unfounded. Her work is difficult to talk about because it arouses feelings that can\u2019t be quantified or explained, the highest praise I can give any artist.<\/p>\n
