The retailers group Canal BD has named Manu Larcenet's Blast as the recipient of its 2010 Prix de Librairies BD. (I apologize if I got some of that wrong; I have a hard time telling the group names from the descriptive words there). The article at the French-language comics news gathering site ActuaBD.com suggests that the work is a good match for an organization that values creative rights and diversity within the medium. The book was one of this year's official selections at Angouleme.
