Fante Bukowski #1

This collection gathers the early issues of Noah Van Sciver's acclaimed series Fante Bukowski, following the misadventures of a pretentious and struggling young writer who adopts the name of a literary hero. The stories satirize the indie publishing scene and the romanticized image of the tortured artist, rendered in Van Sciver's expressive, scratchy black-and-white style. Originally published in English by Fantagraphics, this 'Ancienne Edition' is a French-language compilation from L'employé du Moi, presenting the first two volumes of the series in a single volume.
