David B.: 'Epileptic'




The Seattle Public Library - Programs & Events show

Summary: He was joined by Kim Thompson, translator of "Epileptic" and co-owner of Fantagraphics Books, influential publisher in comics history. "Epileptic," a 361-page classic, creates a unique, fantastic mythology out of a youth spent alongside an epileptic older brother. David B. co-founded the artist-run publisher L'Association, a group that revolutionized European comics and brought them market success in the English language. This program was part of "La Semaine de la Bande Dessinée" (a weeklong, multi-venue tribute to the French graphic novel).
