image

The Association des Critiques et Journalists de Bande Dessinee has announced its 15 finalists for its Prix de la Critique 2008. Unless you're completely hopeless at the roots of language, you probably figured out -- or maybe you already knew -- that the ACBD is the French-language market's major writers about comics group. It looks like they narrowed down the list below from this pre-selection list of 95 books. Among the titles available in the states represented here are Alan's War, Tamara Drewe and Castle Waiting. That may be all of them, in fact.
