MAURETANIA Une traversée
Published with the support of the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes Region.
This collection of Chris Reynolds' stories from Mauretania Comics has been in development for many years and its origin predates the New York Review Comics "New World" edition. The project has been overseen by editor Jérôme Le Glatin. Book design is by Lyon's leading band-poster artist Félicité Landrivon.

---
