Stan Lee Nominated For 2016 Angoulême Festival President

stan leeThe list for the Angoulême Grand Prix has been published. Voted on by the Academy, the winner of the most prestigious ward in comic books is names the President of the next festival. This year it was won by Bill Watterson, after Alan Moore declined the honour.

Nevertheless, he is nominated again, as well as for the first time, Stan Lee!

  • Christophe Blain
    Christian Binet
    Charles Burns
    Daniel Clowes
    Nicolas de Crécy
    Pierre Christin
    Cosey
    Étienne Davodeau
    Edika
    Emmanuel Guibert
    Hermann
    Alejandro Jodorowsky
    Quino
    Stan Lee
    Milo Manara
    Taiyo Matsumoto
    Lorenzo Mattotti
    Alan Moore
    Katsuhiro Otomo
    Marjane Satrapi
    Joann Sfar
    Bill Sienkiewicz
    Jiro Taniguchi
    Richard Corben
    Jean Van Hamme
    Chris Ware
Favourites are Katsuhiro Otomo, after he was in the final shortlist last year, and Quino, who has a similar profile as Watterson (popular in Europe, beloved by readers of all ages) and the additional advantages of being well-known to most authors in the festival. He is rather frail and, like Watterson, may not be able to attend Angoulême itself…
