...Sfar and Trondheim both belong to the new generation of French comic artists that include the likes of David B., author of "Epileptic". (Sfar, whose graphic novel "The Rabbi's Cat" will soon be published by Pantheon, was recently chosen as one of TIME's four comic Innovators.) While both contributors take credit for the writing and art of "Dungeon," Trondheim appears to be the principle draftsman.
