The nominations for the Angoulême Grand Prix. The winner is honoured for their lifetime's work in the medium of comic books, becomes the President of the Angoulême comic book festival for the next year

The list will be winnowed down. But for no there are lots of recurring names and a few new ones.

Brian M. Bendis
Christian Binet
Christophe Blain
Françoise Bourgeon
Charles Burns
Pierre Christin
Daniel Clowes
Richard Corben
Cosey
Etienne Davodeau
Nicolas de Crécy
Edika
Carlos Giménez
Emmanuel Guibert
Hermann
Alejandro Jodorowsky
Stan Lee
Milo Manara
Taiyô Matsumoto
Lorenzo Mattotti
Frank Miller
Alan Moore
Quino
Riad Sattouf
Joann Sfar
Bill Sienkiewicz
Jirô Taniguchi
Naoki Urasawa
Jean Van Hamme
Chris Ware

Alan Moore is a perennial candidate, but since he said he would refuse, it's probable he will again be outvoted. Hermann has said the last year he would accept it if he won. Having been a finalist last year with Moore and this year's winner Katsuhiro Otomo, he is the current favorite.

Jodorowsky and Miller could well be among the finalists. Maybe Taniguchi, Christin or Sfar too…
