Starting in 2005 Cinebook is a publisher that works to translate into English, and other languages, the best of French comics and graphic novels so that the world can see that they are more than just Tintin and Asterix.

They also call Cinebook  “The 9th Art Publisher”

This refers to a new opinion in Europe that comics are the 9th of the “plastic arts,” the others being.

1. Architecture
2. Painting
3. Sculpture
4. Engraving
5. Drawing
6. Photo
7. Cinema
8. Television

And now

9. Comic books

With a business model like that their products do tend to be very well made, if not downright beautiful at times.
