The winner of the Fauve d’or 2018 in Angoulême has just joined the independent publishing house 2024.
Sheltered in a house located in an industrial wasteland in Strasbourg, 2024 is an independent comic book publisher. For 10 years he has been offering classy, flashy books in multiple formats; far from all comers.
The catalog was built a lot around the idea that we could explore in manufacturing paths a little less beaten than production standards; indicated the editor to Arte. Publisher 2024 works a lot with young authors. The publishing house has a reason to live: to support people on several books.
Laureate at the Angoulême festival, crowned with a certain status and carried by a large structure; Jérémie Moreau has nevertheless chosen to join 2024 for his latest album Le discours de la panthère.
At the microphone of Arte, the author and designer Jérémie Moreau indicated that he wanted to reconnect more with people of his age and with an adventure that is taking place within a structure. Previously he worked for the Delcourt editions. Now that he knows who he works for, a stream censors certain characteristics of his work. Working for 2024 has opened up certain ways for him.
Influenced as much by Babar as Little Nemo or those who advocate collapsology; The discourse of the panther is a philosophical fable which puts the animal back in the foreground. The idea was to endorse the point of view of animals, as a human would project his consciousness into a buffalo, a starling, a hermit crab … There is something very calming about putting in story scene.
If the book resonates skillfully with confinement, 2024 must, like everyone else, deal with the crisis. The big stake for the publisher is to make the books exist. This is not a work of a few months, but the work of a lifetime.
