About us :
Le Calepin Jaune (The Yellow Notebook, as a tribute to The
Yellow Book) is a French quarterly illustrated fanzine (amateur paper
printed magazine) that specializes in fantastic genre literature and the nineteenth
century.
Since 2003, we have published several issues, featuring both new talents of
today and great fantastic writers of the past, contemporary illustrators and
old artists.
Le Calepin Jaune is published in black and white and in A5 size,
under either a black lineart on faded yellow cover or full color cover depending on the issue (and of the
print shop prices ;)). It features international writers and artists but is usually only
available in French language. The price for the regular issues is 6 € (Six
Euros), that is about 8 $ (Eight USD) -- shipping and handling are included for
France metropolitan only.
However, one special issue in 2006 was in full color and available both in
English and in French versions, it has been available in July 2006
and was a special "Pin-ups and
Horror Stories of the 1950s" bootleg issue featuring Dita Von
Teese in an exclusive interview, the great Catherine D'Lish, photographs of Bernie Dexter, Sabina Kelley,
Heidi Van Horne and many more lovely and amazing modern pin-ups and their
photographers as well as
short-stories by young writers and articles about pin-ups and horror books and
movies of the time (among others, articles about Richard Matheson and Ed Wood).
This special issue has been sold worldwide via PayPal (and more rarely via checks in Euros) for about 19 $ (Nineteen
USD). More information
about this on
this page.
The Calepin Jaune team counts 4 members, Eric, Klaus, Rodolphe and Estelle, who read and
review submissions and complimentary press copies (the latter, whether they're
books, films, comics... we only accept to review when related to the nineteenth
century and the fantastic). The editor in chief and "head honcho" of
the fanzine is French writer and illustrator Estelle Valls de Gomis who also is
responsible for the book-design and web-design of the fanzine and its site.
