Abstract

This chapter covers the decade in which the Canadian alternative BD gravitated around the figure of Vincent Giard, with the invaluable help of a direct dialogue with the author/publisher himself. As locomotive, he moved through several tiers: Colosse, a self-federated zine label; La Mauvaise Tête, first a collective, then a traditional publishing house; la Maison de la Bande Dessinée, a workshop that becomes a focal point of the (g)local scene; Les 48 Heures de la BD, a festival; even through the organized political activism. For most people involved, starting with Giard himself, this is a finished story or at least a closed chapter. After seven years, on May 29, 2019, the publishing house La Mauvaise Tête closed down. For a time, it ran in parallel with Colosse, an experiment of “nanotirages introuvables” (impossible to find nano-editions).
