La St PACÔME cherche à mettre en avant la micro édition en matière de bande dessinée et livres illustrés, et crée des ponts entre les régions. La micro-édition est présente partout en France sous des formes très variées (fanzine, graphzine, livres-objets, etc) et représente un vivier créatif hors pair. Plus qu’un mouvement revendicatif, la micro édition est une manière de faire de l’édition simplement, ré-inventant sans cesse les possibilités du domaine de l’édition.
Cette année, la St Pacôme se concentrera sur les structures strasbourgeoises, afin que les visiteurs se rendent compte de la variété et de la richesse de ce qui se fait en micro édition locales.
Venez donc découvrir en notre compagnie le monde de la MICRO-ÉDITION.

Le secteur édition de l’INSTITUT PACÔME est une structure très modeste qui ne permet pas la création d’un «Gros festival». D’autres s’en chargent déjà. Contentons nous d’un modeste «Petit Salon». Infos également sur le site du collectif troglodyte : www.troglodyte.eu ——————–

St PACÔME seeks to propose to it micro edition as regards comic strip and illustrated books, and creates bridges between the areas. The desktop publishing is present everywhere in France in very varied forms (fanzine, graphzine, book-objects, etc) and represents a creative fish pond except par. More than one protest movement, it micro edition is a manner of making edition simply, unceasingly reinventing the possibilities of the field of the edition. This year, St Pacôme will concentrate on the structures of Strasbourg, so that the visitors realize of the variety and the richness of what is done in micro edition local. Thus come to discover in our company the world of the DESKTOP PUBLISHING.
The sector edition of INSTITUTE PACÔME is a very modest structure which does not allow the creation of a “Large festival”. Others take care some already. Let us satisfy with modest “a Small Living room”. Infos also on the site of the collective troglodyte:

The Sacrifice

[From Bernard Caleo]

The Sacrifice - Bruce Mutard

Hullo!

If you are interested in substantial Australian comics, if you are
interested in the way that history, fiction and pictures can be
braided into a story, then you’ll be interested in this I’ll wager:

next Wednesday, 23 April 2008, just a couple of days before Anzac Day,
the very fine ‘book comic’ (or ‘graphic novel’ if you will), by Bruce
Mutard called ‘The Sacrifice’, is to be launched at Readings Carlton
at 6.30pm.

‘The Sacrifice’ is published by Allen & Unwin, the same folk who
published Nicki Greenberg‘s excellent graphic adaptation of ‘The Great
Gatsby’ last October.

‘The Sacrifice’ is the first volume in the story of Robert Wells, a
young bloke in Melbourne in the late 1930s and early 1940s. Robert is
a pacifist but must decide whether he should enlist anyway, and the
book’s 244 pages follow him through the living rooms and backyards and
pubs of Melbourne’s suburbs (particularly St Kilda) as he interacts
with family, friends and workmates in his search for an answer.

Bruce Mutard has been making comics pretty much non-stop for more than
15 years and his skill at evoking a past Melbourne, in words and
pictures, is breathtaking.

I commend the book to you and invite you to come along to Readings
next Wednesday night when I will introduce and discuss the book with
Bruce.

Yours,

Bernard
