Dargaud's New York office has moved out of New York: it has been at 2 Lafayette Court, Greenwich, CT 06830 for a while now. And although the company was Dargaud International Publishing Ltd. in New York, it is Dargaud Publishing International Ltd. in Greenwich. Dargaud does strange things. (Since when are companies "Ltd." in the USA?) Along with translations of French comics, they are publishing Beetle Bailey in Asterix format. (In France, Dargaud is doing the same with Peanuts and Hagar.) On the back cover of one of the Beetle Bailey books are pictures of the covers of four other Dargaud books (one Asterix, one Lucky Luke, one more Beetle Bailey, and one in a new series to be trans- lated from French, Leonard (a genie)). These books are referred to as "graphic novels"! Justin Bur (No, I don't read comic books -- I only read graphic novels! :-) )
