Ummm, wow.
• Oh, how i do love interns. Current one MarieLaure Cros (aka Malo), is a real Parisian gem. In addition to repping some of Frances finest cartoonists for English Language translations, and occasionally working over at Floating World Comics, she finds time to work for Top Shelf. Here, she took the massive pile of loot i brought home and enjoyed from APE a few months back, and systematically entered names and contact data for me. Merci beaucoup, Malo.
Would that i had time to write full reviews. Alas. I don't. That said, if you find it here, it has my tacit endorsement, and i recommend you seek it out.
