Les Derniers Jours d’un Immortel Picks Up Science Fiction Festival Comics Prize
According to a brief posting at the French-language news clearinghouse ActuaBD.com, Les Derniers Jours d'un immortel won the "prix de la meilleure bande dessinée de science fiction de l'année" at the science fiction convention Utopiales, held in Nantes. The Futuropolis book, by Gwen de Bonneval and Fabien Vehlmann, was also part of the Angouleme Festival's official selection announcement that same week. The French industry offers up a number of awards in the weeks leading up to the late-January festival, both for comics within non-comics awards program and programs targeting comics specifically. The jury at Utopiales was presided over by Philippe Druillet.
