It's a great deal.  Agree on the Eisner comment. Thompson's linework & some of his compositions definitely hearken back. Check out the Top Shelf sale linked above. It’s a great deal.

It is really a beautiful, affecting book. It's got a lot more emotional oomph than Scott Pilgrim. I hope Bryan Lee O’Malley’s ‘Lost at Sea’ makes this list. It is really a beautiful, affecting book.

I've got a bunch of books on the way from them. What a great publisher, even without the $3 sale.  And yeah, that Top Shelf sale is amazing. I’ve got a bunch of books on the way from them.

"Carnet de Voyage" is a bit generic (in French), meaning "travel journal" or "travel diary". That short looks really good though.

I like living vicariously through his trip without feeling bad about not traveling, because he's so depressed. There's a great page on his blog about how he made it: http://www.craigthompsonbooks.com/2008/01/13/constructing-carnet/ Also, skip the $10 Amazon link, it's on sale for $5 right now from the publisher: http://www.topshelfcomix.com/catalog/special-deals This is my favorite Craig Thompson book.
