Escapade #71
"Une histoire d'amour" in Escapade #71 (1974) is a poignant, atmospheric tale drawn with quiet intensity by Leone Frollo, whose distinctive art brings emotional depth to Gilda’s journey. After learning the tragic truth about her mother Sylviane and a long-lost count from Venise, Gilda faces a choice that could change everything—though the weight of the past and the mystery of a love that defies time remain unresolved.
In "Une histoire d'amour," John, a temporary driver filling in for a sick colleague, makes an unexpected connection during a delivery to an exclusive club. Drawn to a striking woman he glimpses there, his brief moment of curiosity sparks a chain of events that leads to a quiet, tender romance—much to the dismay of his parents.
In "Drame à Venise," Gilda, raised by her aunt since childhood, learns from a visiting doctor that her mother, Sylviane, once loved a married count—whose grief over her death has driven him into a decades-long delusion that he still lives in the 15th century. The doctor believes Gilda’s return to Venice, where her mother’s story began, might finally break the count’s obsession.
