The catalog reproduces iconic plates by Edmond-François Calvo, Will Eisner, Hergé, George Herriman, Winsor McCay and Geo McManus, accompanied by an introductory text by Anne Lemonnier.

Next, the fifteen authors who play the game of confrontation are presented alongside the masterpieces from the collections: David B., Edmond Baudoin, Blutch, Philippe Dupuy, Brecht Evens, Gabriella Giandelli, Dominique Goblet, Emmanuel Guibert, Benoît Jacques, Éric Lambé, Lorenzo Mattotti, Catherine Meurisse, Joann Sfar, Anna Sommer and Chris Ware.

For each, a short text illuminates the connections: a tribute paid by an author to an artist he considers a major source of inspiration, a quote discovered in one of his plates, or a more secret connection. Through this play of echoes, the reader is invited to renew his perspective on modern art, while deepening his knowledge of the 9th art.
