Juillet 1913 : La Pieuvre envoie Gustave Babel abattre un homme, mais quand il arrive, ce dernier est d\u00e9j\u00e0 mort. D\u00e9cembre 1913 : nouveau contrat, mais cette fois, l’homme se suicide sous ses yeux. 1914 : infiltr\u00e9 dans les rangs de l’arm\u00e9e allemande, Babel voit sa cible dispara\u00eetre sous des tirs d’artillerie. Profond\u00e9ment d\u00e9stabilis\u00e9, il va devoir affronter visions et cauchemars qui le m\u00e8neront tout droit \u00e0 un pass\u00e9 enfoui et \u00e0 son pire ennemi : L’Hypnotiseur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Avis :<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lorsqu\u2019on \u00e9voque les ann\u00e9es 1910, on songe immanquablement au premier conflit mondial qui a succ\u00e9d\u00e9 \u00e0 la Belle-\u00c9poque. \u00c0 travers l\u2019imaginaire collectif, les images v\u00e9hicul\u00e9es d\u2019un Paris fantasm\u00e9 pr\u00e9valent, d\u00e9laissant parfois un contexte d\u00e9l\u00e9t\u00e8re, min\u00e9 par la pauvret\u00e9. D\u00e9j\u00e0 connu pour Les Brigades chim\u00e9riques<\/strong> ou les cycles de Carmen McCallum<\/strong>, Gess<\/em> se lance dans une telle incursion historique avec La Mal\u00e9diction de Gustave Babel<\/strong>. Il est question de d\u00e9peindre le milieu du crime organis\u00e9 et un Paris \u00ab souterrain \u00bb sous le point de vue d\u2019un assassin \u00e0 la coupe \u00e9chevel\u00e9e et au caract\u00e8re circonspect. Cela sans oublier un \u00e9trange m\u00e9lange des genres, \u00e0 la lisi\u00e8re du fantastique.<\/p>\n\n\n

Bien que l\u2019intrigue prenne place en 1925, le narrateur et protagoniste se replonge dans ses souvenirs. D\u2019embl\u00e9e, ce roman graphique impose un style visuel \u00e9pur\u00e9 o\u00f9 les nuances s\u00e9pia apportent une tonalit\u00e9 surann\u00e9e, sans pour autant sombrer dans la nostalgie. L\u2019homme, dont le devenir ne fait gu\u00e8re de doute, se rappelle sa vie pass\u00e9e, non sans regrets et amertumes. On distingue imm\u00e9diatement les contradictions qui forgent le personnage. S\u2019il ne fait gu\u00e8re preuve d\u2019\u00e9lans d\u2019affection, son c\u00f4t\u00e9 taciturne d\u00e9note une grande sensibilit\u00e9 aux belles-lettres, \u00e0 la po\u00e9sie. Le r\u00e9cit multiplie les r\u00e9f\u00e9rences et les citations \u00e0 l\u2019\u0153uvre de Jorge Luis Borges<\/em>, sans oublier Les Fleurs du mal <\/strong>de Baudelaire<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La complexit\u00e9 du protagoniste s\u2019\u00e9tend \u00e0 la mani\u00e8re dont il appr\u00e9hende son m\u00e9tier, sa froideur calcul\u00e9e et, \u00e0 certains \u00e9gards, son honn\u00eatet\u00e9 vis-\u00e0-vis de ses employeurs. Gustave Babel d\u00e9tonne par son comportement mesur\u00e9 ; dans ses r\u00e9parties, comme dans ses gestes. Au-del\u00e0 de ses comp\u00e9tences \u00e0 occire son prochain, son talent pour parler les langues, dialectes et patois du monde interpellent. Dans cet univers baroque, les membres de la mafia parisienne poss\u00e8dent tous une capacit\u00e9, un talent. La manipulation par la parole, l\u2019hypnose\u2026 Comme son patronyme le laisse entendre, Gustave Babel est un \u00ab polyglotte de l\u2019extr\u00eame \u00bb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Il est simplement dommage qu\u2019au fil des planches, cette aptitude se r\u00e9sume \u00e0 des voyages internationaux pour honorer quelques contrats. Il y a bien des conversations en langues \u00e9trang\u00e8res, traduites, et pr\u00e9sentant des notes en bas de page pour distinguer les langues. Cependant, il aurait \u00e9t\u00e9 appr\u00e9ciable d\u2019approfondir cet \u00e9l\u00e9ment majeur de l\u2019histoire. Comme \u00e9voqu\u00e9 pr\u00e9c\u00e9demment, cette derni\u00e8re oscille entre une r\u00e9alit\u00e9 brutale et des \u00e9garements oniriques. Les deux aspects sont indissociables, tandis que les r\u00eaves (ou cauchemars) du principal int\u00e9ress\u00e9 tentent d\u2019\u00e9clairer l\u2019amn\u00e9sie qui occulte son pass\u00e9. Ces s\u00e9quences se d\u00e9marquent par des teintes plus sombres et des dialogues minimalistes, voire absents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gess<\/em> insuffle une atmosph\u00e8re tr\u00e8s particuli\u00e8re \u00e0 son roman graphique. S\u2019\u00e9cartant d\u2019une d\u00e9marche classique, il travaille son r\u00e9cit de telle sorte \u00e0 ce que les images n\u2019imposent pas un point de vue inalt\u00e9rable. Le lecteur doit interpr\u00e9ter cette vision subjective, en pr\u00e9ciser les contours \u00e0 sa convenance. Sans doute est-ce pour cela que les traits physiques sont grossi\u00e8rement d\u00e9peints, la sensation de mouvements \u00e9vanescente. \u00c0 diff\u00e9rentes reprises, on a alors l\u2019impression que la r\u00e9alit\u00e9 se fond dans le r\u00eave et inversement. Une mani\u00e8re de donner corps aux vers de Baudelaire<\/em>, au caract\u00e8re tourment\u00e9 des \u0153uvres cit\u00e9es.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Au final, La Mal\u00e9diction de Gustave Babel<\/strong> est un roman graphique d\u2019une grande originalit\u00e9. Premier volume des Contes de la Pieuvre<\/strong>, cette incursion dans un Paris poisseux se d\u00e9marque par son ambiance insaisissable dans un contexte violent et pernicieux. Cela sans compter sur quelques changements de registre avec des incursions dans la campagne italienne ou les rues bond\u00e9es du Caire. Des dessins \u00e9pur\u00e9s, une galerie de personnages \u00e9corch\u00e9s vifs, une histoire qui flirte avec les fronti\u00e8res d\u2019une po\u00e9sie tout onirique\u2026 Le r\u00e9cit de Gess<\/em> s\u2019avance comme une singularit\u00e9 audacieuse qui tient de l\u2019OVNI litt\u00e9raire, tant il s\u2019affranchit d\u2019un traitement classique quant \u00e0 sa narration ou son parti pris graphique.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
