I&#8217;ve mentioned previously that the exhibition includes some of my pages from my first collaboration with David Britton\/Savoy, the death-camp issue of the first Lord Horror series, <em>Hard Core Horror<\/em>, but until the catalogue arrived I wasn&#8217;t sure how that work would be presented. Consequently, I&#8217;m surprised to find the comic and Britton&#8217;s wider Lord Horror project given a section of its own in the catalogue, with a lengthy appraisal by British comics historian Paul Gravett. The text is French throughout so I can&#8217;t follow Gravett&#8217;s piece very well but it looks to be an expansion of earlier pieces he&#8217;s written about the Savoy comics and their troubled history.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"shoah2.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/www.johncoulthart.com\/feuilleton\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/shoah2.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The book itself is a solid production that I&#8217;m pleased to find following the hardback &#8220;album&#8221; format used by Continental comics. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.denoel.fr\/Catalogue\/DENOEL\/Denoel-Graphic\/Shoah-et-bande-dessinee\" target=\"_blank\">Deno\u00ebl Graphic<\/a>, a publisher of <em>bandes dessin\u00e9es<\/em>, is the publisher.
