Gwénaelle Lacoste, Les Supersheros de L'Arche (The Superheros of Art), Le Dernier Cri, Marseille, France, 2022


Another wild card of an accordion from Le Dernier Cri. This silk-screened publication is comprised of a cover which holds three separate 5 page accordions printed on both sides. Lacoste's super heroes seem to be drawn from the world of comics with names such as Hulk, Superman, Spiderman, Joker, Iron Man etc...with all these names and characters filtered through Lacoste's outsider childlike comics aesthetic which gives this publication a uniquely off-kilter and weirdly original flavor.

All three accordions are the same size, with each 5 double-paged work measuring 8.5" x 6" per page, and when unfolded 2'6".
