Every year in July, the Eisner Awards are presented in conjunction with Comic Con, which takes place in San Diego, “American Angoulême”. With a heavy focus on American productions, French and Belgian productions are rarely honored on the awards list? That’s the case again this year, with the only award-winning French-Belgian album being a recent translation of an album that isn’t exactly new. It can be said that the legacy work of the authors and their publisher Kasterman has made this album a classic. evergreen recognized worldwide.
