Browsing through Jules Magistry's images is like opening a big history book about our own little history. The one that saw us wandering between the late 1990s and early 2000s, between ostentatious pop culture and the onset of its decline, between ourselves and our own selves at an age when we were searching for our sexual, philosophical, and professional identities. With his bold pencil strokes in colors as vivid as our sensitive souls, he examines adolescent questions, adult tribulations, and lifelong fascinations. His self-published comic book, Teenage Apocalypse 4, is a prime example of his passion for this age of adult torment and childlike enjoyment. So, inevitably, it veers off course, the drawing stubbornly seeking to escape reality in order to better create its own truth.
