First Edition. Oversize folio (46cm.); white paper-covered clamshell box, embossed thermoformed plastic plate mounted to upper cover, six leaves laid in as issued, to which are mounted thermoformed plates on rectos and versos with the exception of the last leaf, on whose verso is printed the colophon. Clamshell box a bit dust-soiled, else Near Fine. Lacking the cardboard shipping box. Quite possibly the only "comic book" in its class, Le Grand Rêve Americain (The Great American Dream) adapts technology developed by Philippe Schléret and Véronique Hauss, using molded plastic to create brilliantly colored 3D images. The work exuberantly lampoons Pop Art, American culture, and early underground comic books. Of all who have ever encountered the work and written of it, seemingly none have failed to mention the heavy use of oversized female breasts that jut out from nearly every panel. (Indeed, OCLC record no. 712159856 lists "Large-breasted women" as one of the subjects.) Other tropes not to be ignored include fancy sports cars, gangsters, and fastfood joints.

Not rare, obviously it was a hard sell, but found in good company in the more ?vulgar' and BD subcollections of the LSD Library along with Tin Tin and Guido Crepax (see below). A riotous, and typically French, satire on American Pop-Culture using the very Americanised medium of the cartoon. The dessinateur BD Huger is still to this day obsessed with making sexy 3- D books that tumesce out of the page. He produced a series of popup books called ?XXX' in the early 2000s. The book is very focussed on women with huge breasts elevating them to almost Russ Meyer-like heights. 243771.
