Ma Maman Wins Frankfurt Prize

The hobby-business news and analysis site ICv2.com notes that Ma maman est en Amerique, elle a rencontre Buffalo Bill, Jean Regnaud and Emile Bravo's internationally well-received graphic novel (published in English by Fanfare/Ponent Mon), picked up the German Youth Literature Prize at the Frankfurt Book Fair just past. The article notes the book has been honored in North America (with Eisner nominations) and France (by making the Essentials list at Angouleme). I think Emile Bravo is one of those creators that should be on the short list of North American favorites even for those that don't know but about five such cartoonists, so I'm happy to see this work thus honored. The German version was published by Carlsen.
