French Comics Publishers--Articles About.
   "L'Irrésistible Ascension de l'Édition Indépendante" /
   Jean-Philippe Martin. p. 22-31 in 9e Art : les Cahiers du
   Musée de la Bande Dessinée, no. 5 (Jan. 2000). -- (Dossier
   : Un Bilan des Années 90). -- Begins: "Présents pour la

   in 1999, une vingtaine de petits éditeurs francophones,
   comptant parmi les plus actifs comme Amok, Cornélius, Ego
   comme X, Fréon et bien sûr l'Association, venaient prouver
   du haut de leurs 500 ouvrages publiés en l'espace de 10
   ans, qu'au-delà des plus folles espérances, un véritable
   renouveau de la bande dessinée de création avait trouvé à
   s'incarner. Un dossier tirant le bilan des années 1990
   exigeait que l'on revînt sur la montée en puissance de ce
   que l'on désigne souvent comme 'l'édition indépendante'
   (qu'il serait peut-être plus juste d'appeler, tout
   simplement, 'les petits éditeurs'). -- English summary
   (from p. 150): "The Irresistible Ascension of the
   Independent Publishers. Amok, the Association, La Cinquième
   couche, Cornélius, Ego comme X, Fréon, the Requins marteau,
   6 Pieds sous Terre: these are some of the main independent
   publishers that have emerged during the last decade. Small
   organizations, often founded and run by creators, they
   maintain an uncompromising conception of creation and
   produce objects that are distinct from the traditional
   album. Their rise has been steady, as Jean-Philippe Martin
   shows. He predicts they will influence the future of comics
   in general." -- Call no.: folio PN6700.N44no.5
