SYNOPSIS

Rachel and Anne are twin sisters who come to the world together and face life together. They will invent their own language, create a common imaginary world and develop a unique complicity. If this relationship can be a strong protection against the gaze of others, it can also be dangerous when each of them looks for herself in the reflection of the other...
Rachel Deville relates, in a powerful metaphorical way, the fascinating and mysterious issue of doubles and dual identity, with references to Narcisa, Cain and Abel or Romulus and Remus, the twins founders of Rome who were raised by a wolf.

Lobas goes deep into the autobiographical dimension of the story, revealing the wounds of the author’s past that this book closes.
Lobas is Rachel Deville’s first book.

Press reviews: 

"In Lobas we can almost see the eternal Faber-Castell pencil, with which Rachel Deville (France, 1972) has probably drawn meticulously the obtrusive everyday life of the twin sisters who speak about the experience, both fascinating and terrifying, of being born with an identical person to the side. Deville has the gift of turning family relations into something mythological and almost animal." Revista Calle 20. January 2008.

"Living in Spain since 2000, French artist Rachel Deville shows quite starkly the life, dependent and narcissistic, of twin sisters." Elle Magazine. November 2007.

"Rachel Deville, a young French author who, in Lobas describes the peculiar relationship he had as a girl with her twin sister, from the very moment of birth until their separation as adults. When it comes to portraying the problem of those who are twins and the need it implies to define oneself as opposed to the other, the illustrator has chosen to render it in some pages loaded with poetry, so beautiful as they are terrifying, and that make this graphic novel the most perfect and beautiful metaphor about duality." El Periódico de Villena. 8.08.2008

“Lobas will be the debut comic of Rachel Deville, a French designer based in Barcelona. It is very likely to become the great graphic novel about the world of twins. The life of Deville and her twin sister seen from within, from the bowels of love and supposed hatred between siblings.” Revista El Duende. 15.06.2007
