In 1977/78, I was a kid when Paul Gillon was publishing « les naufragés du temps » in the « Métal hurlant » mag. Roughly at the same period, in the pages of Marvel Team Up and Iron Fist, I was starting to read some of the first published works of a new comer.
Too bad I can't quite put a name on him… Hell, it will come back eventually!

(Late answer, I know.)

Robert, the french comic market has been for quite some time structured like a book market, not a periodical market, so the french comics classics are usually in print and available pretty much since their original publications (over 80 years ago for some Tintin books, albeit most of them have been "remastered" since).

The US market SEEMS to be slowly getting there. Most classic comic books and strips are starting to be permanently available. Constantly changing collections and formats don't help much, much as the plethora of different options (how can a civilian tell the diffference between "Essential" Spider-Man, Spider-Man "Masterworks", "Ultimate" Spider-Man and however many other Spider-Man collections are out there?), but it is improving. Maybe when the US comics "canon" is all readily available for potential buyers the same will happen to the foreign stuff?
