Les francophones bredouilles aux Eisner Awards 2013
Le Comic-Con International de San Diego a délivré ses fameuses récompenses.
Décidément, les auteurs de BD francophones ne semblent pas avoir la cote outre-Atlantique. Après une édition 2012 du Comic-Con International de San Diego où aucun de nos auteurs n’était reparti avec un Eisner Award, l’histoire s’est répétée pour l’édition 2013 de la manifestation américaine.
Avec une trentaine de catégories représentées (histoires courtes, one-shot, séries longues, anthologies, rééditions, prix du dessin, prix du lettrage, etc), ce salon remet chaque année les trophées des meilleurs comics.
