Brian Bendis, Michael Gaydos, and Michel Rabagliati Among Prize Winners at European Festivals
Two noteworthy European comics festivals concluded their 2004 editions by handing out their awards over the weekend. This year's lists included prizes to several names and works familiar to North American audience: Drawn and Quarterly's Michel Rabagliati, Marvel's
Alias team of Brain Bendis and Michael Gaydos, and Joann Sfar.
Rather than wait for the English press releases like a sensible person, here's the best I can make out by staring at the words on
various sites for a really long time and repeating them to myself with an accent. I blame American isolationism and my public school education for any mistakes.
