To prepare Small Press Expo in good conditions, we asked Freddie Kaplan to pick up some comics dealing with the main themes of this year's edition: autobigraphies and friendship.
Gunnar and I got to read:

L'Ascension du Haut Mal, by David B. (about his brother's epilepsy)


Black Hole, by Charles Burns (about dysphoric teenagers in the 1970's)

Fun Home, by Alison Bechdel (about her coming out and her father's suicide short after)

Ett Familjealbum, by Åsa Grennvall (the story about her family told by its members)

Gaskriget, by Fabian Göranson (a Swedish backpacker's autobiography)

The Invisibles, by Grant Morrison (about a bunch of super/anti/heroes)

676 apparitions, by Patrice Killoffer (about his neurotic stay in Canada)
