Exhibition: Jubilé Hurlant
Palazzo Ducale will host the exhibition “Jubilé Hurlant” among its frescoed rooms.
A few years after the turmoil of '68, Métal Hurlant seemed to realize its promises: imagination in power.
Moebius, Jean “Gir” Giraud’s mutant identity, erupted there, as well as Philippe Druillet, expressionistic and twisted as his companion was airy and Apollonian; Richard Corben, the master of American hyperrealism, found a home there; and then Caza, Jodorowsky, Giménez and countless others.
Especially in its first incarnation, which continued until 1987, Métal Hurlant was a revolution continually in progress, proving that another type of comic was possible.
The exhibition retraces fifty years of the troubled but exhilarating editorial life of a cult magazine, culminating in the 2021 relaunch.
