/// Fabrice Neaud: Diaries in Black And White ///
I spent an unusal huge amount of time of my summer holidays in France with something I haven’t done in a while: reading comics. Or BDs, bandes dessinnées, as the French say. The person who brought my interest for the genre back to life is
Fabrice Neaud. His drawn diaries (he calls them “Journals”) are published on a on a small French publishing company called “
ego-comme-X“. The first one of them has been released in the mid-ninties, the last one, No 4, in 2002. Although I can’t always identify with Nead’s first-person narrator I really like the guy’s style: On the one hand it’s very simple and introverted including a lot of text. On the other hand it can be very effectful and sometimes also very sexy. Here are some pages of “Journal” No 1 and 2 I scanned in. The books can be ordered
here.
