Recently, we reported that none of the three nominees were likely to accept this year's Grand Prix from the Angoulême festival, after considerable controversy and change over the nominees. Both Alan Moore and Hermann had previously said they would refuse the award and new nominee Claire Wendling asked her fans not to vote for her. However, ACBD reports that[...]

The controversy over the Angoulême Grand Prix is far from over. After the controversy in which thirty nominees for the prestigious prize were named, without one woman, the organisers eventually abandoned the list and said that voters could vote for anyone they wished. The final three nominees, who will go forward to a second vote, are Belgian comics[...]

The three nominations are Hermann, Alan Moore and Claire Wendling And, yes, one of the three is a woman Clare Wendling, who won the Alph'Art Avenir Prize at Angoulême in 1989 She worked on the anthologies Children Of The Nile and Entrechats, before creating the series The Lights Of Amalou before working in film and gaming[...]

With the Grand Prix award going to either Alan Moore, Otomo or Hermann – or a last minute write-in vote for Charlie Hebdo. But could the weather have an influence on the voting process? Hurricane Hermann has just hit France… could that swing it one way or the other? As to Charlie Hebdo, it's sad that this[...]

Yesterday, it was announced that the three finalists for the Angoulême Grand Prix award, which celebrates a comic book creator's lifetime contributing to the form, were Alan Moore, Katsuhiro Otomo and Hermann. Moore had previously declined the nomination And yesterday, Hermann also declined the nomination. If Moore continues to reject this year's call, then it looks like[...]

Not this year. And the three finalists are Alan Moore, Katsuhiro Otomo and Hermann. It's unlikely that Moore will be voted in again after last year's decision to decline the award, and while Hermann, best known for the likes of Jeremiah, Bernard Prince and Comanche is the local Belgian representative, he isn't the most charismatic of men, shall we say[...]

It was so much easier for me to work this way – a lot faster, more intuitive and fun than trying to copy Peter Snejbjerg's slick inking style! Another European influence is Hermann, of Jeremiah fame I learned so much about texture and landscape from that guy And like everyone else, I have to throw[...]
