George Michael was really intelligent and his lyrics were so full of thought and open to self-criticism and having the freedom to change your mind. They were also inclusive and Freedom 90 celebrates questioning yourself and being open to outside perception and letting the world in so that you can reinvent yourself.

I'm also terrible att French, but I love BD art so much that I learn a lot just from reading books that haven't been translated to English, Swedish or Danish. I understand most Danish so when only tome 1 of Cyann by Bourgeon was translated to Swedish I bought the rest of the series in Danish.

Yes, true, you know you're in for a treat with Schuiten. Have you read The Tower? It's sooo good.

Oh I see. But I often feel old when I talk about books released in the late seventies in Sweden that were handed down to me by my older sister. We both adored Derib's Buddy Longway and I was obsessed with Johan and Peewit and read the same books over and over. When I mention and rave about those books now my younger friends don't know what I'm on about! :)

I really like your posts, by the way. You make an old (I was born in 1977) BD enthusiast feel right at home. :)

This is the kind of book I thought I would only see in my wildest dreams. I need a new word for how gorgeous this is. It's kind of weird that I found this post right now, now that two books from Rue de Sèvres takes pride of place in my flat at the moment.
