Jim Woodring Wins Jury Prize At Angoulême – And Other Awards
I know, I know, how provincial, a US-based website goes and puts the US comic creator who won the jury prize at Angoulême in the headline. Guilty as charged. But here are the full list of winners, as presented at Angoulême today, at the show's closing ceremony.
(Pictured, French Minister of Culture and Communication Frederic Mitterand getting Art Spiegelman's attention.)
