The Ephemerist

The Serieskolan in Malmö (Sweden) is the Swedish version of the Center for Cartoon Studies in the US. It’s a place where young hopefuls can learn the art and business of cartooning and creating comics in general.

This brochure for the school was created by Jamil Mani (of the C’est Bon Kultur collective, story) and Niklas Asker (art), and was sent to me by Lotta, who picked it up at the Stockholm SPX last month (thanks !).

I don’t read Swedish, so I don’t have any more than a very faint clue of what is said in this comic. What struck me, though, is that there seems to be an emerging, international style for the alternative, small-press comic that is immediately recognisable, and quite similar across the globe. Nice logo too (by Peter Hallin).
