A screen print from 1985. Signed and numbered. This is no. 186 of a total edition of 600. The serigraph is framed The King Baudouin Foundation received the original artwork for the strip La Belette by Didier Comès. The brother and two sisters of the Belgian artist donated his work in 2013 to prevent it from spreading. This initiation story, published in the Review (A suivre) between 1981 and 1982, tells the story of a family of townspeople who come to live in the village of Amercoeur. The Valentin family consists of Gérald and his pregnant wife Anne, as well as their son Pierre, who is autistic and mute. A witch named Belette (Weasel) quickly takes Pierre under her wing and initiates him and his mother Anne into an ancient and mysterious cult. The arrival of the Valentin family evokes old stories in the village.
