BOING BOING’s Jessamyn West gave Alex de Campi’s beautiful multi-lingual VALENTINE (which we are publishing in 14 different languages, by the by) a gorgeous nod over at that most popular of blog sites.

Here’s a snippet:

Valentine: A supernatural thriller published in 14 languages, and multiple digital reading devices, simultaneously. Creative Commons licensed. Multilingual peeks over at Robot Comics.

Valentine is a fantasy / thriller graphic novel series by writer Alex de Campi and artist Christine Larsen. It is available in 14 languages and counting. You can’t buy it in a comic book shop because it’s not a traditional comic; it’s a project which has been tailored specifically to be enjoyed on wireless devices.

First one’s free, cheap after that. Full-color digest edition available in print format when the run’s done. From an interview with de Campi:

The thing you also need to keep in mind is that comics overseas are far, far bigger than they are in America. In France and Japan, there are single issues of a bande dessinee or a manga tankubon that regularly outsell in volume the entire US comic industry’s output for the year.
