You Are There - Jacques Tardi, Jean-Claude Forest

One of the earliest full-length, standalone graphic novels to be published in Europe and certainly one of the most original, Ici Meme was seralised in the adult French comics monthly, A Suivre, in the early 1980s. A quarter of a century later, this dark, funny, consistently surprising masterpiece has finally been translated into English as You Are There. Drawn in Tardi''s crisp, 1980s neo-clear line style, gorgeously detailed, elegantly stylised with impossibly deep slabs of black, You Are There is a feast for both the eyes and the brain.
