Lax Wins The Grand Prix At BDBoum De Blois



Comics veteran Christian Lacroix, who works under the pen name of Lax and may be best known for the Le Choucas series and its spin-offs, won the grand prize at the BDBoum festival in Blois over the weekend. It seems like there's been a mini-rash of articles whereby French-language industry followers are reading the results of earlier festivals -- the ramp-up (to Angouleme) festivals in late Fall seem to be growing a bit in popularity -- as an indication of how things might turn out at the big, big show early in the calendar year. I'm not sure what I'd make of this result -- Lax seems like the kind of solid, respected creator that wins these kinds of honors in routine fashion. Other winners at the festival were Fabien Nury, Simon Hureau, Jerome Ruillier and the creative teams of Olivier Milhaud/Julien Neel and Brigitte Luciani/Eve Tharlet.
