About the Author
Dieter Hermann Comes, mas conocido entre nosotros como Didier Comes, es toda una leyenda en el mundo de los comics. En 1969 inicio su actividad profesional centrada, principalmente, en Le soir jeunesse, la version belga de Pilote o Spirou. Pero no es hasta 1973 que Comes realiza su primera obra larga. Ergin el errante es un personaje inmerso en un mundo de brujeria y magia negra del que realizo dos aventuras: Le dieu vivant y Le maitre des tenebres. En Lombre du corveau, publicada en 1976 en las paginas del semanario Tintin, Comes inicia ya un cambio evolutivo en su grafismo, ya que traslada la accion a las tierras de Las Ardenas, su paisaje natal. Pero la verdadera definicion grafica de este autor como maestro del claroscuro y los espacios claustrofobicos llego en 1979 con Silence. A partir de este momento, la accion de sus historietas se traslada un mundo rural cargado de misterio y fantasia, donde la magia se convertira en el verdadero protagonista de la historia. Inmersa en esta tematica, La Belette supone el afianzamiento de Comes como un autor de estilo personal que se aparta del comic comercial al uso, para situarse en un universo de ebullidora vida interior. Con Eva se interno, sin apartarse del mundo antes apuntado, en el genero del thriller psicologico, y trasluce los problemas que derivan del desdoblamiento de personalidad, y con La casa donde suenan los arboles nos mostro la magia del mundo animal.

Didier Comes, born Dieter Comes, is the Belgian artist whose black-and-white comics are one of the best examples of the French "auteurs-comic" style popularized in the 1980s. Comes left school at the age of sixteen, creating comics in his spare time while working for a company in Verviers. He first published a series of humorous comics in Spirou in the early 1970s. After the more serious 'Le Matre des Tenebres' a wider audience and the critics took notice of him. His most popular comic, Silence, appeared in 1982. Subsequently, he created another well-received work, a graphic novel entitled, Les Larmes du Tigre. Comes resides in Waismes (Malmedy) in the German-speaking minority of the east of the country. The rural culture in which he lives heavily influences the mystical and "back to nature" subject matter of his stories.
