Le Photographe Wins Globe de Cristal

imageAccording to this article at ActuaBD.com, Le Photographe has added to its honors something called a Globe de Cristal, which looks like a general cultural/arts award complete with a comics/art book category in which the much-lauded book was the winner over Pascal Rabate's Les petits Ruisseaux and the third volume in Manu Larcenet's Le Combat Ordinaire series. The win becomes poignant in that subject and co-author Didier Lefevre recently passed away at the age of 50 after a long history of heart trouble, making his appearance at Angouleme to accept another award a significant contrast to not being available to pick up this one. The piece implies that co-authors Emmanuel Guibert and Frederic Lemercier were in attendance at Lefevre's funeral, explaining their absence as well.
