"They stopped saying 'comic books' and so on, they say 'graphic novels' and it allows them to put the book into general bookstores and the adult or the youngster, people who read the general literature, they buy comic books. They don't say 'Oh it's a comic book,' they say it's a book about a Rabbi, it's a book about revolution in Persia, and so on. And they enjoy it and afterward there is space in the bookshop for those books and then it works."
—Joann Sfar, author of
The Rabbi's Cat, on how the European comics market is changing.
