Joann Sfar

    August 28, 1971

    Joann Sfar stands as a pivotal artist in the new wave of Franco-Belgian comics, with many of his works published by L'Association. His creations are deeply influenced by his Jewish heritage, weaving in elements of both Ashkenazi humor and Sephardic traditions, often infusing historical and theological insights. Sfar's distinctive visual style, shaped by luminaries like Fred, Franquin, and Marc Chagall, brings a unique energy to his narratives, whether in his acclaimed comic series or his directorial ventures, such as the celebrated biopic of Serge Gainsbourg.

      The legend of the founding of Dungeon continues with two all-new chapters! Old Arakou, Hyacinthe's father, feels rusty and mopes at the idea of dying in his bed. He never ceases to remember the old heroic days and his pals he wants to connect back with. So, he mounts his faithful steed, much to the chagrin of Alexandra who, worried for him, accompanies him on this crazy ride. Meanwhile, in the ruins of Antipolis, Comor and a handful of lords are preparing to take back power... The second story presents the arrival of young Marvin to the Dungeon, ready to become its most faithful protector. The city of Antipolis destroyed, his father dead, Hyacinthe de Cavallère finds himself alone to fight against the threats of the attackers eager to appropriate the Dungeon. The duchies of Clérembard and Vaucanson are determined to enlarge their territories... Prospects for the Dungeon look dire but as the two forces attack, they are not expecting the fierce opposition awaiting them in so many forms, including that of the most powerful of the warriors in the making: Marvin the Saurian.

      "In an automaton-themed volume, 'The Great Animator' pits the predecessor to the Vaucanson great castle and realm against a huge army of ruthless invaders. Will the great castle's army of battle automatons even the fight? In the second story, 'The Inventor's Grimoire,' the Vaucanson grimoire with the secrets of building automatons has disappeared! If the secrets fell in the wrong hands, much harm could come of it. And indeed, it turns out the greedy Lord Delacour has snatched it with the intention of auctioning it off to the highest bidder" -- page 4 of cover

      The catalog for the huge Crumb exhibition at the Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris in 2012. The book features 220 unpublished or rare drawings, reproduced in color and mostly full-page. 16 seldom seen photographs. Text is in both English and French. Has a dustjacket that folds out into a 36 x 36 inch poster! "The Modern Art Museum of the City of Paris presents a premiere retrospective exhibit on one of the greatest illustrators of the past fifty Robert Crumb. One of the pioneers of Underground comics, he represents a mythical figure in American counter-culture. His satirical stories tear down moral constraints and provide a sharp critique of society, its shadows and absurdities. The chronological exhibit is designed around Crumbs love/hate/fear of women, music, his raw perspective on the modern world and his introspection."
