2. We did share an admiration for Jacques Tardi. Kim's most important legacy is the publication, against all odds, of the work of European cartoonists in America. Here's what he had to say about it: "The cold
hard truth is that virtually every one of our foreign books excepting Jason
(who I think more of as a “global” cartoonist, like Max Andersson) and some of
the Tardis are basically breakeven at best, usually active money-losers. (And
they usually only achieve breakeven-ness because I translate them in my spare
time and thus we don’t spend any money on translations per se.) “
