REQUIEM POUR LES MIENS
REQUIEM POR LOS QUE AMO / REQUIEM FOR MY LOVED ONES
360 pages / Artwork, text and screenplay by Julien de Casabianca
"I wanted to spend my futur old ages to become a graphic novelist.
In my mind it's after 70yo or more, so I have time in front of me.
And Covid and confinment happened.
Made me free of work, as retired.
So I decided to start really sooner.
I spend the last 18 months writing and drawing my first graphic novel.
It's Requiem for my people.
I wanted to tell you my mournings. I know, it's a strange idea.
It's just one of the most interesting human experience to live on earth.
Because it's love.
So, it seems to be about death and deceased people, but it's about life and living.
It's only my real stories.
Implausibles as life can be.
So beautiful as life is.

120 pages / Artwork, text and screenplay by Julien de Casabianca, based on a short story by Thomas Perino.
"In the evening I lie down and listen to the song of the stones, the pebbles, and the sand along the shore… I hear the swell and the sound of the waves… And I wait for the tide, gently, to come and carry me away."
Paris, 1906. Within a fragment of real time where, unbeknownst to one another, Gustave Courbet, Jacques Lacan, Félix Fénéon, and Van Gogh’s paths once crossed. Only a few meters from a sordid incident concealed within the fabric of ordinary life.
