Sydney will be appearing as guest of honour next month at the 14^th Salon de la Bande Dessinee – a comic book show in the Haute Garonne department of south-west France just north of the Pyrenees . The show will be held in the town of Saint –Gaudens on Saturday 10^th and Sunday 11^th of June at the Halle aux Grains. The Jeff Hawke stories have been extensively published in book form in France and Sydney has a considerable following there. He has also designed the official poster for the show, which shows Hawke, Mac, Chalcedon and Kolvorok in front of the local church of St. Peter and St. Gaudens, a beautiful Romanesque building with extensive cloisters, whose earliest parts date to the 11^th century. Sydney tells me that he will be taking some full size reproductions of some of the original  Hawke artwork which will be available  to buy at the show.  Skipper Prossitt
