Navarra, by Pierre Wachs
Pierre Wachs studied art in Strasbourg and became an illustrator. He made his debut in comics in 1989, with 'Les Bonnes Fortunes de Cobalt Milos ou l'Histoire de la Banque à travers Les Âges'. A year later he drew the graphics for 'Marie Tempête' from a scenario by Patrick Cothias. The collaboration proved successful, and they went on to make 'Les Chiens au Bord du Monde' (1994) and 'Le Saumon' (1995). Wachs also collaborated on a very special publication, 'Le Triangle Secret'. Written by Convard, this series was drawn by several artists: André Juillard, Falque, Éric Stalner and Wachs. In 1999, together with writer Patrick Cothias, Wachs made 'Navarra', a series about King Henry IV, set in the sixteenth century. In 2000, Wachs' album 'Malinche' appeared.
