Look! It Moves! by Adi Tantimedh #85: Superman is a Dick and Lois Lane is a Shrew!

Molly Crabapple At Angoulême
The Western hemisphere's largest comics convention had always seemed to be the Anti-San Diego, where instead of berber carpeting, overpriced pretzels and hoards of fanboys, you had a charming French village full of wine and hot chicks who liked Joan Sfar.
