USA magazine hors-série #3
"Les sept vies du chat" is a standout story from the 1989 USA magazine hors-série #3, written by Sean Kelly and illustrated with bold precision by Neal Adams, whose inks give the pages a striking, almost mythic weight. The tale takes a surreal turn when divine forces convene to select the next Messiah, leading to a bizarre twist where Bennie David's exclamation—“Jesus Christ”—unwittingly triggers a cosmic transformation. The cover, a dynamic piece by Mike Zeck, captures the story’s electric tension with its dramatic composition and sharp lines.
