I took this BD von Mordicai Gerstein with me at the Parisian meet up today, read it in the train, and enjoy it, because I saw a few years ago a film in the TV about Philippe Petits Twin Towers walk. It was really a Incredible performance!
I'll take this grafik novel with me back to Germany. Another country for this travellings book (USA, France, Germany).
Thank you for sharing, tenscentpistol!
Sorry for my englisch, I'm French, live now in Germany, and... my englisch in the school is such a long time ago :)))
