"Le Sketch #9"
*00
Le Sketch is a free
mini-comic series with
each issue devoted to a
selection of sketches from
a single contemporary
cartoonist or illustrator.
"Mini-comics are a
wonderful example of just
one of the formats artists
are using to publish their
comics. They are often
self-published, have very
limited print runs, are
informally distributed--
often for free-and
therefore not regularly
collected by libraries,"
said Halsband.
