Fabulous review by @DavidMarkHerman of The English GI: World War II Graphic Memoir in today's Jewish Chronicle. All the more poignant as my grandfather was a huge admirer and supporter of David's late father, the painter, Joseph Herman. @JewishChron. https://t.co/BPlOtk7fBo

Despite the Eurostar delays, I managed some comics tourism in a very hot Paris (36°C).

Visited La Bande Dessinée at La Monnaie de Paris (Eisner, Caniff, Chaland, Pratt, Bushmiller and more) and Les Guerres d'Eisner at La Contemporaine Nanterre.

on the GraphicMEMOIRBlog soon.
