"Sprawling, slyly funny, sardonically satirical, and sumptuously drawn, Jacques Tardi and Jean-Claude Forest's groundbreaking You Are There ushered in a new era for European comics upon its release thirty years ago and instantly joined the pantheon of classic graphic novels. Now finally available in English for the first time, it remains as fresh, unique, and provocative as the day it was drawn."
Jacques Tardi. Manchette, Jean-Patrick. WEST COAST BLUES. [SN27968] $19 Seattle: Fantagraphics Books, 2009. 1st thus. Small 4to (9-11"), 80pp, b&w, hardcover pictorial boards. VF. "George Gerfaut, aimless young executive and desultory family man, witnesses a murder and finds himself sucked into a spiral of violence involving an exiled war criminal and two hired assassins. Adapting to the exigencies of his new life on the run with shocking ease, Gerfaut abandons his comfortable middle-class life for several months (including a sojourn in the countryside after an attempt to ride the rails turns spectacularly bad) until, joined with a new ally, he finally returns to settle all accounts... with brutal, bloody interest. "Originally released in 2005, West Coast Blues (Le Petit bleu de la côte ouest) is Tardi’s adaptation of a popular 1976 novel by the French crime writer Jean-Patrick Manchette. (The novel had been previously adapted to film under the more literal title Trois hommes à abattre, and was released in English by the San Francisco-based publisher City Lights under the English version of the same title, 3 to Kill.) "Tardi’s late-period, looser style infuses Manchette’s dark story with a seething, malevolent energy; he doesn’t shy away from the frequently grisly goings-on, while maintaining (particularly in the old-married-couple-style bickering of the two killers who are tracking Gerfaut) the mordant wit that characterizes his best work. This is the kind of graphic novel that Quentin Tarantino would love, and a double shot of Scotch for any fan of unrelenting, uncompromising crime fiction."

He begins his narrative as Tasha makes the Advent wreath. He then goes on to describe the pre-Christmas making of gifts and special tree decorations. As the festive day approaches, the tree is selected. A very special evening soon follows when friends and family go through the woods to discover and illuminate a crèche. Then when Christmas arrives, the tree is trimmed and the dinner prepared and served. The tree, decked with ornaments of the past and present, is lit with real candles. Christmas has arrived, and it is honored with gusto and sentiment. Even after the celebration is over, another treat is in store: a wintry sleigh ride. "Gorgeously illustrated with photographs by Jay Paul and illustrations from many of Tasha Tudor's books, Forever Christmas is a book to be read, cherished, and read again. It sings a special seasonal song of joy and of the inspiration of a unique artist - Tasha Tudor."
