Angouleme Announces Prize Nominees

Nominees for the Festival Awards at Angouleme have been announced through their web site and any number of European comics news sites. It seems on a first, bleary-eyed glance as if recent trends continue -- a lot of big names, a reasonably conservative array of books, and a decent sampling of Americans. I also don't see a real breakout book or talent based on nominations only.

North American authors nominated for French language editions of their work include Dave Cooper, Chris Ware, the team of John Wagner and Vince Locke, Jeff Smith, Charles Burns, Jaime Hernandez, Eric Powell and the team of Marc Andreyko and Paul Lee. Volumes featuring work by EC Segar, Charles Schulz and Cliff Sterret are among those in the "Comics Heritage" category.

Names and works familiar to fans of European comics in North America include Jacques Tardi, Thomas Ott, Joann Sfar, Jean-Claude Forest, Osamu Tezuka, Juanjo Guarnido, Taiyo Matsumoto, Jason, Blutch, Nicholas De Crecy, Jiro Taniguchi, and Ralf Konig among many others.

The Festival is scheduled for January 26-29. For more information, I suggest hitting the official site for its list, each nominee accompanied by the appropriate cover. ActuaBD.com has about half the list linked up.
