Mikhail Zlatkovsky and André Nollet in the ECC

Two new exhibitions opened in the European Cartoon Center.

Born to be wild ! by Nikolaz

One of the books I found in Lille last week, is Born to be Wild! by the French cartoonist Nicolas Le Bars (Nikolaz, born 1961). Nikolaz is a comic strip artist, but he has published many cartoons, especially on the motorcycling theme.
