  1. The title doesn't say anything about a comic's origin so here's a little bit of local trivia that'll mean absolutely nothing to all of you. I got my hands on this today: A bit of extra info for those interested: the whole thing came together under the banner of the European Capital of Culture, which you may or may not know is in Luxembourg this year (Esch-sur-Alzette to be precise). The department literally right next to ours came up with the idea of doing a biographical comic/graphic novel about a key figure in worker's rights movement in our country (the titular Mr Schortgen). Between WWI and WWII he was working in the mines but was fed up with the complete lack of rights he and his coworkers had. So he went out and put himself on the list to get voted as a member of parliament and basically founded what is (I presume) our equivalent of the UK's labour party, to put things a bit in perspective. Our team is currently doing PR and marketing for it so I got the chance to be at the release conference and meet the author and drawer. Not only is it really cool to see something like this take shape and form as a graphic novel instead of a dusty and dry matter-of-fact book, but it also fills me a bit with pride that it's all happening (or rather happened) where I live and grew up. The church you can see in the first picture here is not even 200m away from where I live for example:
