Published by Sarbacane, Frantz Duchazeau adapts the myth of Robert Johnson in a great black and white comic. It’s about the last days of this blues legend, who, even 86 years after his death, still brings his talent as a musician to life.
Robert Johnson is a legend of black American music, a legend of the blues, in short, a legend of music. He sang like a bird, played the harmonica and guitar like a god, or perhaps like the devil, because it was under his patronage that his reputation was established.
Raw wounds from birth, a life of self-destructive excess in segregated America, but the soul of an extraordinary artist and a creative impulse whose breath continues to water the musicians of today and far beyond the blues.
Died at 27 – he is part of the famous 27 Club – here is “ The Last Days of Robert Johnson », by Frantz Duchazeau. An excellent comic album, all in black and white, published by Sarbacane.
Frantz Duchazeau is the guest of VMDN.
Repeat of the broadcast from Tuesday, January 9, 2024.
