I must have missed Julien's question... In France, SF bandes dessinees, or
BD (pronounced /behdeh/) for short, are a *huge* market--I would venture to
say (unsupported by any harder data than my general impressions) that SF BD
sell more than actual SF books.
Oh, and has anyone seen Delany's collaborative comic? Way fun...
