Ishmael is a young sailor who dreams of joining a whaling ship and going on an adventure on the high seas. One night in New Bedford, a fishing port overlooking the ocean, he met Herman Melville, a strange man who tells him the wildest stories &mdash; including that of the young captain Ahab, who once decide to go hunting the giant sea Kraken. But to raise it he first needed to find a certain sailor, a survivor of the Kraken attacks, who had kept a secret book of incantations and ungodly knowledge. Once this book is used, it conjures up &#8216;the Kraken&#8217;, which turns out to be far more monstrous than the worst nightmares of sailors or the dreams of human history.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.actuabd.com\/Grands-Anciens-T1-La-Baleine\">ActuaBD has interior art samples<\/a>, and very nice they look too&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jurn.link\/tentaclii\/oldimages\/grand2.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"grand2\" width=\"400\" height=\"321\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1308\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The first few pages are <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bodoi.info\/news\/2010-08-11\/images-de-la-rentree-bd-grands-anciens-1-par-vukic-et-laine\/36488\">here<\/a>&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jurn.link\/tentaclii\/oldimages\/grand3.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"grand3\" width=\"399\" height=\"242\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1309\" \/><\/p>\n<p>A &#8216;making of&#8217; set of character-sketches and pencil pages are <a href=\"http:\/\/labobd.ning.com\/forum\/topics\/grands-anciens-jeanmarc-laine\">here<\/a>&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jurn.link\/tentaclii\/oldimages\/grand4.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"grand4\" width=\"400\" height=\"560\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1310\" \/><\/p>\n<p>And I found a few more interior pages on a French book site&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jurn.link\/tentaclii\/oldimages\/grand5.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"grand5\" width=\"400\" height=\"568\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1311\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jurn.link\/tentaclii\/oldimages\/grand6.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"grand6\" width=\"400\" height=\"570\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1312\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lovely cover-artwork for a new French graphic novel, Grands Anciens (Old Ones) by Bojan Vukic and Jean-Marc Laine.
