Photos from Angouleme
Andi Watson has some nice photos to accompany his convention report from the Angouleme International Comics Festival.
An excerpt: "I spent most of my time holed up in Salon Editeurs with publishers great and small. There was a separate manga tent way over on the other side of town that I never made it to. It would make more sense in future if the organisers could find a way/site to herd the ‘Salons’ closer together. There were rumours of some of the bigger publishers not wanting to return next year, and those are the organisations who pay shed loads for their big booths and make the show a profit. Comics and grumbling are constant partners wherever you are in the world so I imagine they’ll all be back next year…if they’re closer to the good restaurants."
