Abstract
Thierry Smoderen offers a detailed synthesis of the process that for years have preceded and accompanied his making of comic strips scenarios: stages of accumulation, documentation, iconic research (film, photography), definition of mental territories, construction of imaginary worlds, interaction with the draftsman and anticipation of his graphic world. He also describes the elaborate stages of plot composition as a puzzle, the ramification and surprises of the narration, the energy required to avoid too obvious sequences, the spaces left open for the unexpected. Last, immersion in the flow of information generated by the sequences makes it possible to test the soundness and coherence of the whole and to ascertain the strength of the connections between the scenes on several simultaneous levels of meaning.
