La Brigade, Victor Hussenot

The magician Merlí, frustrated by his obsolescence, seeks the help of Pierrot, a mysterious magician. Pierrot proposes embarking on a mission with a brigade of superheroes, but soon circumstances become unexpected and a dark antagonist enters the scene…

La Brigade, published by Éditions La Joie de Lire, is the new comic format proposal from Victor Hussenot. 324 pages filled with illustrations that combine fine lines and digital colors with scanned textures to achieve a warm and pictorial style.

The publication of the book was postponed for a year because a printing house with the necessary means to take on the challenge could not be found; and indeed, the multiple fluorescent colors of the author’s panels present great complexity in printing. A project that can only be materialized through the technology of multicolor printing. This technique simulates RGB profiles on paper. It is printed with 7 inks, significantly expanding the CMYK color space and making it possible to reproduce these vivid fluorescent colors in a printed product.

This graphic project has been realized thanks to the perfect synergy between the trio of companies: Les Caméléons Paris for photomechanics, Agpograf for printing and binding, and Nexe Impressions, responsible for technical direction.
