Post on Argentine book fair mentions comics

In "At Annual Fete, A Nocturnal Tribute To the Printed Word" By Monte Reel, Washington Post Foreign Service, Wednesday, May 2, 2007; A10, he notes "There are publishers of Arabic books, medical texts, legal tracts, military manuals and comic books." But "Those who like to read Japanese manga graphic novels don't get enough sleep, which must explain why they get so testy when gently questioned by reporters." I can't really see Washington hosting an overnight book fair.
