Lookit what I've been working on! It's a 9-pager short story in comic form, that I wrote by my
onesome this time - with help from a local historian. It's the true
story of a local "colourful figure" from here in Lyon, a 19th century
open-air café owner who had a Thing for the former royal family and
basically went around the main city square cosplaying Marie-Antoinette,
"Queen of the Linden Trees", much to the locals' enjoyment, but at a
time when that was not politically an incredibly savvy move...
This is my contribution to a hippy-dippy - yet extremely professional - co-op type publishing venture a coupla dozen Lyon BD artists are pulling together; everyone is putting in some volunteer spare time on the formatting and printing and distribution work, and the better part of that 3€ selling price is for the (thus far unpaid) artists of each respective issue of the magazine. Which is a bit of an Important Issue, because there's been a general trend in the French BD/comics scene for the big-name publishers towards lower page rates, increasingly distant royalties-starting points, and flooding of the market with so many new publications it's hard to get noticed by overwhelmed readers. So, this is one form of grass-roots-ish alternate solutioneering. It's going to be a monthly publication à la old-fashioned magazines, 12 pages incl. covers, with a complete story in comics form, some extra material sometimes; mainly historical trufacts to start with but branching out into other non-fiction topics with a local slant.
I'm in issue #2, part of the first batch of six magazines we plan to publish all in one go at the main Lyon book fair/comic con event in June, before the monthly publication system starts up.
and we have a
