News: Inkalen in DN


It was with great pleasure that I found a long, well written review of the new, complete volume of Jodorowsky's and Moebius' Inkalen (The Incal) in Dagens Nyheter, the major newspaper in Sweden. The book has been published in Swedish by the Danish publisher Faraos Cigarrer, and this is their first foray into our country and language. Pleasure, both since this is without a doubt a major comics masterpiece, deserving to be available to the general public, but maybe more importantly since Faraos Cigarrer is a kind of publisher we lack in Sweden, focusing on the classic French comics, and publishing them in beautiful, big hardcovers. In short, I do hope that this book will work out financially for the publisher, and that it will be followed by many others, so that the Swedish market for comics will expand.

    This was an error already in the newspaper review, but the name is Faraos Cigarer, with Danish spelling. I'm not sure whether the typo /correction to Swedish spelling is a mistake by the writer Jonas Thente or the proofreader, or if it's a deliberate attempt by the company to reach the Swedish audience, however. Is there an index page with copyright?
