C'est Bon Anthology exposes the hidden things, the secret things. Apocrypha is an old Greek word that means "those having been hidden away". And we all have dirty little things tucked away somewhere, don't we? Whether they’re feelings we repress, unreflected actions, or guilty pleasures; they are the unknown factors that animate the mask we show to the world. Much like the 90% of an iceberg hidden below the waterline.

We are happy to give you with this anthology a look into the works and minds of artists that face their hidden baggage in so many different, surprising ways. A compilation of graphic short stories, an interview ("CBQ&A") with a Finnish comics artist and a special guest ("Comics as Art – Art as Comics"); an artist from another branch within the visual arts.

C'est Bon Anthology gets entangled in story and image alike. Eliza Frye shows what might take place on other levels for a father and a daughter during something as ordinary as a dinner at a Chinese restaurant.
New segments! We present the first piece in the series "Comics as Art – Art as Comics". We invited visual artist Michel Ducourneau to create a piece especially for this issue of C’est Bon Anthology. For every new issue we will invite an artist who does not usually work with comics, to create one full color page as a bridge between comics and other forms of expression within the visual arts.
Through the years C’est Bon Anthology have presented text pieces that shed light on the art form from unexpected angles. From now on we are focusing our gaze in order to give a deeper insight into the world of comics. In "CBQ&A" we will be turning our attention to the creative process of imagemakers and storytellers that are featured within the covers of this anthology. The first artistic voice to be heard is Allan Haverholm; co-editor for the anthology, as well as a brilliant and prominent comics artist.

Review: Yelah.net
From a blog entry by Brett Warnock at Top Shelf

From a review by Paul Gravett:
»Where would comics be without showcases like Help, Pilote, Zap, Métal Hurlant, Raw, Weirdo, Escape, Lapin, Blab, Kramers Ergot? For comics to develop, experiment, innovate and change, we always need truly alert, astute editors to pull together anthologies to spotlight the very best emerging creators. The masterminds behind Sweden's CBA continue that tradition and scan strip creativity worldwide to assemble one the 21st century's sharpest, smartest selection boxes out there. CBA is essential for anyone intrigued about where this medium is heading.«
