The Mystery Of The Missing Page

Jona's Gift
After 4 years of work on my ‘Neshuma’ project I was not satisfied of the direction, so I started again, from scratch.
This is the working cover and title.
Later more.
The former paper producing town of Angoulême (incl. Rizla rolling paper), plays host for the 35th time this year to the Festival International de la Bande Dessinée.
I visited the place in southwestern France from 23-28 January. It was great. Some pictures can be seen here.
Contrary to what one would think with ‘International’ in its title it was all mostly french, french & french. I know, it is the best language with Belgium and France as the source of the World’s best comics, but where were Drawn & Quarterly, Fantagraphics and Top Shelf? Maybe Belgium, Holland or even England could be a better host for an international festival, where all the non-french speakers can also enjoy the richness of these comics!
