Voodoo Serenade

Description de Voodoo Serenade

Voodoo Serenade is a graphic novel by Stefano Casini and Nikola Witko, set in 1960s Port-au-Prince. As mysterious disappearances of bodies occur, two French biologists rent a yacht and find themselves involved in a case of deception and voodoo rituals. The story gradually unfolds to reveal explosive stakes in a political context marked by dictatorship and the Tonton Macoute militia. Casini's historical setting is well-researched, but the narrative immersion falls short, while the drawings are skillful with balanced compositions and a unique colorization marked by monochromatic hues.

Critique de Voodoo Serenade

Voodoo Serenade fails to convince despite its high qualities. The narrative approach lacks immersion, while the story gradually builds up like a thriller to reveal explosive stakes in a well-researched historical context. Although the drawings by Stefano Casini and Nikola Witko remain detailed and skillful, with balanced compositions and a unique colorization, they are not enough to make this graphic novel an unforgettable masterpiece of the comic book world.
