Founded in 2003, the French publishing house Éditions Matière has an original approach to comics that continually challenges the boundaries of the language. Its catalog includes "classic" comics but ventures as well into other forms of sequential storytelling, experiments combining comics and theory, and attempts to relate drawing to contemporary arts. Editorial director Laurent Bruel talks about the philosophy behind Éditions Matière with Ratigher, cartoonists and director of  the series "Brick" for Italian publishing house Coconino Press - Fandango .
