Comments
from the article "The fantastic worlds of Rork (1984)":
Andreas uses, particularly in his later stories of Passages, many pages without text, which in itself is a piece of art few authors are capable of. In the forelast episode (the last one to be published in Tintin) he even tells two stories at the same time: one by means of the texts and one by means of the images, having a very dramatic effect. The text reflects the conversation between Rork and the private investigator Raffington Event, and the images show what happens concurrently, elsewhere, between the opponents of Rork. At the last picture of the episode Rork concludes his story, and his enemies reach his house at that moment. All elements are present for a (sensational?) finale.
