Emmanuel Guibert’s L’enfance d’Alan (who was also recently included in the list of nominated works for next year’s Angouleme 2013 edition) just happens to have been awarded with the “Grand Prix de la Critique” 2013 the French Comic’s Critique Association awards each year.
From the initial pre-selected 125 albums (down from 4000+ published books) to 15 and with a final list of 5 which included: Judith Vanistendael’s David, les femmes et la mort, En silence by Audrey Spiry, Saison brune by Philippe Squarzoni and Emmanuel Lepage’s Un printemps à Tchernobyl, L’enface D’Alan confirms Emmanuel Guibert as one of the masters in the current French comic world.
“L’enfance d’Alan” follows the souvenirs of Alan Ingram Cope, who after telling us all his Second WW souvenirs in “La Guerre D’Alan” will now tell us about his childhood in the 1930s and the post 1929 America, a story once again brought to us thanks to the incredible beauty Emmanuel Guibert is only capable of.
