Pulp Fiction: Rene Brantonne Cover for L’Invisible by Jean de la Hire

Posted: April 17, 2015 | Author: | Filed under: Art & Culture, Reading Room | Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , | Leave a comment

L'Invisble

The French sci-fi novel L’Invisible was written by Jean de La Hire, aka Espié Adolphem, for Éditions Jaeger et Hauteville’s Fantastic series in 1953. The set-up is ingenious here—basically, H.G. Wells’ famous novel The Invisible Man was a disguised factual account, and this book reveals the truth about the man Wells fictionalized. He develops an invisibility potion, uses it to make a fortune, and later faces a choice between continuing on his path or giving it up for love. The cool cover art is by René Brantonne.
