I've never heard of Scalped before, but that sounds like a great idea for a comic. Does anyone know of any other stories set in reservations. I remember a val kilmer film and an X files episode but that's it. The AIM seems like an interesting subject yet they've practically been airbrushed out of history.
I'd also recomend Joe Sacco's Safe Area Gorazde, slightly better than Palestine though like it a bit too long for my liking.

great point re the AIM Owen. i do love the X-Files ep of se1 set on some northern midwest reservation about werewolves (that the one you mean?).
Safe Area Gorazde, awesome book
(and Hitch in 'classic Hitch style' introduction IIRC!)Sacco has an interesting thing about the Portland, OR indie scene. i bought it for a mate once. not read it myself but looks very intriguing

I have this fuzzy memory from my teenage years of being in a book store in France and leafing through some science fiction comics by the French artist Moebius, which had absolutely no text whatsoever. They looked amazing but I never bought one. Can anyone recommend a title for me?
That was probably Arzach. Classic stuff, but avoid it if you want a concise and coherent science fiction plot, it's more like psychedelic dream sequences.

and besides azrach there were many similar shorts in the first 3 years of Heavy Metal...
no idea where these image came from though
the sixties...
Someone should put out a new nicely edited collection of this stuff.
I have a nice german edition of Le Garage Hermétique that I revisited recently, hilarious and so beautiful.
About Moebius,
Anyone reading Inside Moebius, is a great piece of meta-comic, he talks to his characters and stuf, kind of diary thing, two volumes published in spanish, dunno if it's getting english release. but you shoud check it.

The main reason I asked is that I'll be in Paris in a couple of weeks and I thought it would be fun to try to find some really nice French editions of this stuff (I'd prefer to get the text-free stuff because my French is limited at best). Having seen some of the images posted here, I'm positively excited at the prospect. Thanks all.
about Arzach i think you can get some spanish editions, as it's a comic without text, maybe you find some in todocoleccion.net kind of ebay, it works good, and is available english lenguage.
(gimme a hit if you need links)
One of the latest series i read was Miracleman by Alan Moore and various (John Tottlebem, Alan Davis, Rick Veich) i didn't have the oportunity to read it on paper until a few weeks when a friedn borrewed me the 11 numbers (i don't like to much read scans). And i have to say i liked a lot, is really realistc from begining to end. The only bad thing it has this series is that beatdowns a lot of moderm superhero comics like The Authority, or even Sleeper. A must read for me. Probably Marvel will finally reprint the Alan Moore's run soon.
And then i have to recomend you this masterpiece of art wich is called
Takemitsu Samurai by Iseei Eifuku and Taiyo Matsumoto (Tekkon Kinkret), i read the two first volumes published in spain by glenat.
The story follows Soichiro, a samurai wich sells his sword, his soul.
The artwork is just mindblowing, if you like samurai comics or simply a nice story check it out. sorry if there is no english edition.
Anyone read those?
Wish you like!

It seems that The Airtight Garage has been out of print in English since 1990 and copies now sell for $150 on Amazon! I think this says a great deal about the English speaking world's shocking ignorance of European comics.
In general that's true. But Fantagraphics have recently published three Jaques Tardi albums in English for very reasonable prices, all very good. In the last Previews they announced that they'll publish his "Adele Blanc-Sec" albums too, one of my favourite comic series of all times.
