Jusqu'ici tout allait bien... [so far everything was fine] Hardcover – September 2, 2020

French Edition  by Ersin KARABULUT 

The true story of famous Turkish comic artist Ersin Karabulut; his journey from the poor suburbs of Istanbul to the heights of publishing and the satirical press; how he lived, sometimes on the front line, the upheavals and political turmoil of his country, a Turkey slowly transitioning from a democracy to an authoritarian regime. At the same time as he recounts his career as an artist and ordinary citizen, Ersin Karabulut paints the portrait of a country torn by political and societal antagonisms...

With the poetry, darkness and imagination of Edgar Allan Poe, Ersin Karabulut paints a portrait of a society that has given up its illusions in the face of family shackles and political and financial powers.

A collection of poetic and disturbing anticipatory fables that testify to the liveliness of Turkish comics.

At the age of 37, Ersin Karabulut has established himself as the leader of Turkish comics, both by the quality of his graphics and by the singularity of his fantastic or humorous stories. Editor-in-chief of Uykusuz, a satirical magazine he co-founded, he uses allegory to illustrate the anxieties of an author and a generation prisoners of an increasingly repressive and oppressive system.

Ersin Karabulut is a Turkish digital illustrator and graphic designer who co-founded the prestigious satirical weekly magazine Uykusuz in 2007, although he lived in Los Angeles for a while.
