\"\"[FRENCH] Le 13 septembre 1999, les d\u00e9chets radioactifs stock\u00e9s \u00e0 la surface de la Lune ont explos\u00e9s, propulsant le satellite naturel de la Terre dans l\u2019espace. Connu en France sous le titre de Cosmos 1999, cette s\u00e9rie TV anglaise eut droit \u00e0 son propre comic-book am\u00e9ricain, chez Charlton. Aux commandes,\u00a0un certain\u00a0John Byrne.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Space: 1999<\/a>, dans les ann\u00e9es 70, c\u2019\u00e9tait un petit ph\u00e9nom\u00e8ne : un feuilleton TV britannique qui arrivait \u00e0 occuper la place laiss\u00e9e vacante par l\u2019arr\u00eat de Star Trek (enfin au moins pour la premi\u00e8re saison, assez imaginative, la seconde \u00e9tant nettement moins inspir\u00e9e). Et pour cause : derri\u00e8re le concept on trouvait Gerry\u00a0& Sylvia Anderson<\/a>, d\u00e9j\u00e0 producteurs, entre autres,\u00a0des Sentinelles de l\u2019Air (les Thunderbirds). Ils\u00a0s\u2019y \u00e9taient fait les dents en terme d\u2019effets sp\u00e9ciaux et de vaisseaux de toutes les sortes. Les acteurs am\u00e9ricains Martin Landau<\/a> et Barbara Bain<\/a> (anciens de Mission Impossible) \u00e9taient \u00e0 la t\u00eate de la Base Alpha, coinc\u00e9s sur une Lune qui d\u00e9rivait en dehors du syst\u00e8me solaire, comme un boulet qu\u2019on aurait tir\u00e9 dans l\u2019espace. Et comme la s\u00e9rie \u00e9tait diffus\u00e9e \u00e9galement aux USA, l\u2019\u00e9diteur Charlton<\/a> (qui avait par ailleurs les licences de \u00ab l\u2019Homme qui valait 3 Milliards \u00bb et de \u00ab Super Jaimie \u00bb) mis sur pied une BD d\u00e9riv\u00e9e, dans un premier temps confi\u00e9e au sc\u00e9nariste Nick Cuti et au dessinateur Joe Staton<\/a>. Mais \u00e0 partir du num\u00e9ro #3, c\u2019est un autre illustrateur qui prit la rel\u00e8ve\u2026 Staton voulait dessiner les aventures de Steve Austin, l\u2019Homme qui valait 3 Milliards tandis que John Byrne \u00e9tait fan de l\u2019esth\u00e9tique de Cosmos 1999 (sans en avoir vu, alors, un \u00e9pisode). Du coup Charlton joua aux chaises musicales\u2026<\/p>\n

\"\"D\u00e9but 1976, John Byrne n\u2019\u00e9tait pas \u00ab LE \u00bb John Byrne. Il avait tout juste commenc\u00e9 chez Marvel (Giant Size Dracula #5) mais ne s\u2019\u00e9tait pas encore vu confier les Uncanny X-Men. Il avait encore un pied chez l\u2019\u00e9diteur qui l\u2019avait jusqu\u2019ici employ\u00e9, Charlton Comics.\u00a0 D\u2019o\u00f9 le fait qu\u2019on lui confie cette s\u00e9rie\u2026 Et quand on ouvre Space: 1999 #3, le Commandant Koenig (jou\u00e9 par Martin Landau), le docteur Helena Russell (Barbara Bain) et leur ami, le Professeur Victor Bergman (Barry Morse<\/a>) sont en train d\u2019inspecter une nouvelle plan\u00e8te. La base des aventures des gens de la Base Alpha \u00e9tait souvent la m\u00eame : rep\u00e9rer les mondes qu\u2019ils croisaient dans l\u2019espoir de trouver un endroit semblable \u00e0 la Terre o\u00f9 ils pourraient s\u2019installer. Dans les premi\u00e8res pages on reconnait peu le style du jeune Byrne. Et pour cause : pour faciliter la transition on a demand\u00e9 \u00e0 Joe Staton de redessiner les visages des trois r\u00f4les principaux (\u00e0 l’exception de la couverture, o\u00f9 c’est bien Byrne qui a dessin\u00e9 les t\u00eates). C\u2019est en particulier flagrant sur le visage de Victor Bergman, dessin\u00e9 dans un style moins marqu\u00e9, o\u00f9 l\u2019on sent plus l\u2019intervention d\u2019une photographie comme mod\u00e8le.<\/p>\n

\"\"D\u00e8s la troisi\u00e8me page, par contre, on sent qu\u2019il y a du Byrne quelque part l\u00e0-dessous : les trois explorateurs ont \u00e9t\u00e9 faits prisonniers d\u2019une sorte de zoo cosmique. Ils se sont approch\u00e9s d\u2019une sorte de table qu\u2019on avait dress\u00e9 pour eux puis se sont retrouv\u00e9 coinc\u00e9s dans une fleur de m\u00e9tal, avant de se r\u00e9veiller dans une sorte d\u2019arche de No\u00e9, o\u00f9 chaque cellule renferme un couple d\u2019une race diff\u00e9rente. Globalement, l\u2019histoire tiendrait sur un timbre poste et \u00e0 bien des \u00e9gards ressemble \u00e0 un m\u00e9lange de divers \u00e9pisodes du feuilleton TV : Le Commandant Koenig et ses ouailles font la connaissance des autres prisonniers du zoo, r\u00e9unis par couples \u00e0 l\u2019exception de deux cellules. La leur (o\u00f9 ils sont trois) et celle d\u2019un certain Kloors. Le design des aliens, \u00e0 la diff\u00e9rence du visage des humains, respire le style de Byrne. On sent d\u00e9j\u00e0 les \u00e9l\u00e9ments qu\u2019on trouvera dans ses pages plus tardives de Star-Lord. C\u2019est ce sens du design tr\u00e8s \u00ab Byrn\u00e9 \u00bb qui donne d\u2019ailleurs tout son int\u00e9r\u00eat \u00e0 la publication, tant l\u2019histoire est acad\u00e9mique. Tr\u00e8s vite les diff\u00e9rentes races s\u2019allient pour tenter une \u00e9vasion qui va permettre de d\u00e9masquer d\u2019eux d\u2019entre eux qui faisaient seulement semblant d\u2019\u00eatre prisonniers. Ce sont eux les v\u00e9ritables propri\u00e9taires du vaisseau dans lequel\u00a0ils se trouvent tous depuis qu’ils sont dans ce \u00ab\u00a0zoo\u00a0\u00bb.<\/p>\n

Les ge\u00f4liers se retrouvent donc prisonniers des cages tandis que les extra-terrestres prennent le control du vaisseau, laissant les humains repartir vers la Base Lunaire Alpha. Non sans que ces derniers m\u00e9ditent sur le fait que l\u2019intelligence peut prendre bien des formes (ce qu\u2019en th\u00e9orie ils savaient d\u00e9j\u00e0 puisque ce n\u2019est pas le premier \u00e9pisode et qu\u2019ils ont quand m\u00eame crois\u00e9 d\u00e9j\u00e0 leur lot d\u2019aliens). Au num\u00e9ro 6 de ce comic-book, John Byrne acc\u00e9derait au rang de sc\u00e9nariste\/dessinateur (et on ne redessinerait plus ses visages) mais Marvel commen\u00e7ait d\u00e9j\u00e0 \u00e0 lui faire les yeux doux\u2026 Et le comic de Cosmos\u00a0 1999, lui, p\u00e9riclitait. Il n\u2019y avait pas photo, Byrne s\u2019en alla ailleurs, se concentrant sur les aventures d\u2019Iron Fist (avant de tourner son attention vers les X-Men). Tandis que les gens de la Base Alpha cherchaient une nouvelle Terre, John Byrne, lui, avait migr\u00e9 vers un autre univers.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Ironiquement John Byrne n\u2019est pas le seul\u2026 \u00ab\u00a0John\u00a0\u00bb Byrne qui ait jou\u00e9 un r\u00f4le dans le destin de Cosmos 1999. Il se trouve que le script editor de la s\u00e9rie t\u00e9l\u00e9vis\u00e9e se nommait Johnny Byrne<\/a> (heureusement qu\u2019il n\u2019avait pas raccourci son pr\u00e9nom, cela \u00e9vite la confusion totale). Ce m\u00eame Johnny (et donc pas John) a\u00a0\u00e9crit il y a 9 ans \u00e0 un court m\u00e9trage servant d\u2019\u00e9pilogue \u00e0 l\u2019univers de Space: 1999 (visionable ici<\/a> si certains cherchaient \u00e0 \u00eatre fix\u00e9s sur le sort ultime des personnages), prenant la forme d\u2019un\u00a0dernier message envoy\u00e9 par les habitants de la Base Alpha alors qu\u2019ils l\u2019abandonnent pour s\u2019installer, enfin, sur la plan\u00e8te habitable semblable \u00e0 la Terre qu\u2019ils cherchaient\u2026<\/p>\n
