Beaty on Blanchet

:: Posted by Bryan @ 8/16/2006 01:52:00 PM

Bart Beaty provides a nice little review of the Pasteque-published La Fugue by Pascal Blanchet. I've been curious about this distinctive-looking book for awhile so it's nice to have the lowdown. Blanchet is an illustrator by trade and the book looks more like a picture book than narrowly-defined comic, leading Beaty to call for more illustrators to do comics. I remember reading an interview with Chris Oliveros who once talked about doing the same thing when D&Q first started, asking illustrators to do comics, leading, with few exceptions (Seth, Vellekoop), to many pretty comics with crappy narratives.
