Catalan Communications was a New York publishing company, operated by Bernd Metz, which mainly focused on English-language translations of European graphic novels, presented in a series of high-quality trade paperbacks. The company published through the 1980s from a large loft located at 43 East 19th Street. Metz was the editor, and Elizabeth Bell provided English translations for the French titles, including Max Cabanes' ''Colin-Maillard'' (''Heartthrobs''). In 1990, the Cabanes graphic novel was the winner of the Grand Prix at France's Angoulême International Comics Festival . One of Bell's translated books for Catalan revealed errors in an earlier ''Heavy Metal'' translation of the same story. Some outstanding books published by Metz were Jacques Loustal's ''Love Shots'', Lorenzo Mattoti's ''Fires'' and Barcelona artist Marti Riera's ''The Cabbie'', with an introduction by Art Spiegelman . Published in five languages, ''Trip to Tulum'' by Federico Fellini and Milo Manara was selected by Publishers Weekly as one of the best trade paperbacks of 1990.
