978 (neuf sept huit) de Pascal Matthey

Today, in a bookshop, I found a strange 48cc comic book :

978 cover, Pascal Matthey, 5c

What's ? So, I looked inside : it's a kind of abstract comics ; like a mix of figuration libre and american abstract expressionism.

978 (excerpt), Pascal Matthey, 5c, 2013

978 (it's the first digits of books bar code), it's also a comic book de l'après surproduction (de bandes-dessinées). 

Pascal Matthey's 978 is published by la Cinquième Couche.  (more excerpts and a short introduction (in French) here.

ps : 48cc (48 pages couleur cartonné) is a term (of Jean-Christophe Menu) to denote the french standard commercial comic books.

History of the Sun, by Piotr Szreniawski

34 page book, of photos plugged into comics frames.

Piotr often rotates the photos "wrong" way up. this make his sequences work very differently to how right way up photos work. for me, it takes longer to process each frame, & it's easier to treat the photos as raw colour & shape. most of the pages give me a sense of dynamic motion.
