This comics bio of the Bulgarian emigre painter, Jules Pascin, who became a key member of the vital early 20th century Montparnassian art scene in Paris has at long last been translated into English and published in North America.  An ideal subject for Joann Sfar, who shows a great deal of affection for his subject in each of this hardcover's 186 pages; seeing him as a precursor figure to his own career in present day Paris, perhaps?
