Cet article s’intéresse aux manifestations de la bédéphilie dans Neil the Horse Comics and Stories, de Katherine Collins, un comic book éphémère des années 80. Il examine et contextualise les éléments « enfantins » du comic, et la façon dont il relie les cultures des adultes et des enfants en empruntant aux comics pour jeunes filles et au genre des funny animals, les animaux anthropomorphiques. Ce texte s’intéresse également à la façon dont le comic interagit avec la comédie musicale. En replaçant Neil the Horse dans le contexte d’une bande dessinée américaine des années 80, de plus en plus « adulte », cet article montre que la série exprime son affection pour des comics négligés à la fois par le mainstream et par les éditeurs alternatifs. Elle s’adresse à une audience relativement hétérogène et à un groupe des lecteurs alors presque oubliés, qui, pour l’essentiel, ne s’intéressait pas aux super-héros. |
