ActuaBD.com: Serge Ewenczyk Profile


The French-language comics news site ActuaBD.com profiles Serge Ewenczyk, the publisher of Editions Ca Et La and, if I'm reading this correctly, the editor of a new imprint called Peps at Albin Michel. The twist is that Ewenczyk is recognized by the interviewer as an expert on American comics, and considers the North American industry the most interesting in the world. Both his line and his imprint draw heavily on such works.

What follows is a snapshot of the American comics industry that seems smart and accurate and full of connections a North American reader might not think about. For instance, Ewenczyk cites personal, intimate works like those from Jeffrey Brown and Joe Sacco as favorites, but also quickly mentions how much he enjoys very personalized fantasies like Bone and Cerebus. He has a very broad, trend-heavy view of North American publishing -- changes in format, interest in the market from major publishers -- but also cites obscure favorites that he's brought into the publishing fold, like Joel Orff and Catherine Doherty. Future plans for Ca Et La include a new book from Damon Hurd and Tatiana Gill and a roll-out of Eddie Campbell's Alec books. Peps will publish the Degrassi Jr. High serials, Kazu Kibiushi and Richard Moore, among others.
