More On Chris Ware Winning VPRO Grand Prix 2008 at Stripdagen Haarlem
The European comics news site ActuaBD.com has a piece up
about Chris Ware winning the 2008 VPRO Grand Prix award last Friday. They note that Ware is being cited for his comics, his design work and his sketchbooks; that there's a 1000 Euro cash prize; that past winners are any) Joe Sacco (2002), Lewis Trondheim (2004) and Manu Larcenet (2006); and that Marcel Ruijters won the Dutch author prize given out at the same time. The VPRO Grand Prix is one of the few awards that tries to basically name the greatest working cartoonist in the world without hedging their bets, so it's always interesting to see who's honored.
