Black and white comic inks. Panel 1: a canted shot at sea, men in long boats rowing towards a flock of birds swarming in a distance. Panel 2: closer up on the men in the boats and yells “Elle a sondé!!” This whole thing is in French. I think it means the equivalent of “thar she blows”. Panel 3: closer up of Ahab, looking crazed with his harpoon in hand. Panel 4: wider, over the shoulder of Ahab looking in the distance. Panel 5: Ahab looks back at the crew and says “empógnez cos aviros! Tenez-vous Prets!” No idea what it means lol.
A page from Chabouté’s *Moby Dick* - A masterwork study in ink
I adore Chabouté’s inks. So much organic details while remaining so clear and concise.
