The Adventures of Jodelle
“As an art student in the Swinging Sixties, I discovered the first adult-oriented comics, likeBarbarellaand Guy Peellaert's The Adventures of Jodelle. At that very moment a whole new universe opened up to me. Having grown up in a home where comics were banned and considered mindless, that discovery was really one of adulthood and maturity.” (Milo Manara)“The artist seems to perpetually reinvent the comics form anew, without carrying the weight of any previous tradition.” (Thierry Groensteen)“Peellaert's contribution to comics was as fleeting as it was unforgettable. It was he who brought Pop Art into the Ninth Art. Intensity and velocity, these would be the core principles of this unclassifiable, extraordinary artist.” (Pierre Sterckx)“Lusciously designed flat color patterns and a dizzying forced perspective reminiscent of Matisse and Japanese prints. Graphically, Jodelle sets a new record in comic-strip sophistication.” (New York magazine)“Peellaert's comic strips were the literature of intelligence, imagination and romanticism.” (Federico Fellini)“Guy Peellaert was to Europe what Andy Warhol was to America — except Guy had more talent!” (Jim Steranko)
