ODYSSÉE, a comic book written on an urban scale
“With Odyssée, the result of three years of work and back and forth between the studio and the street, Levalet offers us the first comic book written on an urban scale. Started in December 2019, this adventure could be followed live on social networks. This book is a complete reconstruction of the work. All the characters represented here were drawn in real size with Indian ink before being cut out and pasted in the streets of Paris, Reims, Marseille and London.
This story, freely inspired by the Homeric epic, depicts a young conscript from the moment he is called up to his desertion, through the many adventures, often comical, that he must face during his journey. The taste for detail, the desire to play with the context, to turn the street into an immense moving set, where the hero must adapt to all situations and all supports, form an exemplary work that is a landmark in urban art.”
