“I wanted to illustrate the problem of lack of communication, specifically the instinctive distrust towards “different” people, distrust that often leads to violence. Personally, I’ve always had a kind of tenderness towards the marginal beings, whoever they are. Perhaps because I too, I fall into this category. The mere fact of liking jazz, in a small village passed, if not as a perversion, then at least for a quirk.”
Interview by Thierry Groensteen for Cahiers de la Bande Dessinée No. 55.
Ahh, I think that the above might explain Comes’ depiction of his characters as oddities. Once again there is some great work on show here –sadly the book won’t fit on my scanner but there are some nice extra touches in here –including a lovely snow effect but above all the village, the characters –at times slightly sad and scary.
These books really do need English language versions!
