A Week Celebrating the French Graphic Novel |
|
|
| If you loved the Oscar-nominated “Persepolis”, come and meet the French artist who directly inspired both its style and storytelling, as the Alliance Française de Seattle, Fantagraphics Books and 4Culture of King County bring to Seattle the world-famous graphic novelist Pierre-François Beauchard, who publishes his art as “David B.” |
|
| From Wednesday August 13, 2008, through Sunday August 17, 2008, in a citywide set of venues, Seattle honors David B. as well as our own love of his art form with A Week Celebrating the French Graphic Novel. This is FREE and open to the public with something for everyone: students of French or European language and culture, artists and art-lovers, comics and graphic novel enthusiasts, cineastes, readers and book lovers... |
