BD Awards Season Swings Into Full Gear



* ActuaBD.com reports on another of the major awards of the season, that Le Grand Prix RTL has gone to Christophe Chaboute for his serial killer story Henri Desire Landru. Other books up for the award were:

* Le Retour a la Terre Vol. 4, by Par Ferri and Larcenet (Dargaud)
* Le Combat ordinaire Vol. 3, by Larcenet (Dargaud)
* Les Petits Ruisseaux, by Pascal Rabate (Futuropolis)
* Messire Guillaume, by Gwen de Bonneval and Mathieu Bonhomme (Dupuis)
* Un homme est mort, by Kris and Etienne Davodeau (Futuropolis)
* H. H. Holmes Vol. 1, by Par Fabuel and Le Henanff (Glenat)
* Erminio Le Milanais, by Behe, Laprun, and Surcouf (Vents d'Ouest)

Organized in coordination with the Angouleme Festival and Les Centres Leclerc, Le Grand Prix RTL is, as I understand it, a booksellers' award.
