Chris Pitzer of AdHouse Books announced earlier today that his company will work with French-language publisher Ca Et La to do a combined American/European edition of Gregory Benton's wordless comic B+F, one of the most discussed works at the recent MoCCA Festival and an inaugural winner of that festival's new awards program.
Pitzer and AdHouse were exhibiting across from Benton. "I think I was the first to purchase his B+F at the show, he wins the award, we both get home and sign a contract," Pitzer told CR. "I've always loved Gregory and his comics, so I'm pretty stoked to be doing this."
Although design considerations have yet to be nailed down, Pitzer is thinking the published version will be 64 pages, full color, hardcover and in the $20 range.
