Premios, premios, premios
¡Premios por todas partes!: desde los USA hasta España, pasando por la Belgique. Comencemos por los Estados Juntitos, donde este fin de semana se celebró la Small Press Expo (SPX), la principal reunión de cómic independiente USA. Como es habitual, se concedieron los premios Ignatz, todo un termómetro del tebeo más rabiosamente experimental y alternativo.

Este año, los premiados han sido:

Mejor artista
Jaime Hernandez, por Love & Rockets (Fantagraphics Books, publicado en España por La Cúpula)

Mejor anología o colección
Curses, de Kevin Huizenga (Drawn & Quarterly, publicado en España por La Cúpula como Maldiciones)

Mejor novela gráfica
Don't Go Where I Can't Follow, de Anders Nilsen (Drawn & Quarterly)

Mejor historia
"Felix", de Gabrielle Bell, en Drawn & Quarterly Showcase Vol. 4 (Drawn & Quarterly)

Talento más prometedor

P.S. Comics #3, de Minty Lewis

Mejor cómic online
Achewood, de Chris Onstad

Premio al mejor debut
Papercutter #6, editado por Alec Longstreth (Tugboat Press)

Muy atentos a todos los premiados, que ya veremos si se publican por estos lares algún día. Eso sí, lo que se puede visitar sin problemas es el resto de nominados en la categoría de webcomic: Grace de Kris Dresen, Persimmon Cup de Nick Bertozzi, Thingpart de Joe Sayers y Wondermark de David Malki.

En Bélgica, la sexta edición del Festival de la BD de Bruxelles ha entregado los premios Saint Michel, entre los que hay que destacar el merecido Gran Premio Saint Michel 2007 a Gotlib, uno de los grandes genios del humor francés, creador de títulos míticos como Fluide Glacial y L'echo des savanes, aunque casi desconocido en nuestro país, y la alegría compatrida por el premio que se lleva el español José Luis Munuera, que recibe el premio de la Juventud junto al guionista Morvan por su serie Navis. La lista completa de premios ha sido:

Gran Premio Saint Michel
Marcel Gotlib

Mejor historieta de autor francófono
Les cinq conteurs de Bagdad, de Frantz Duchazeau y Fabien Velhmann

Mejor historieta de autor flamenco
De Maagd en de Neger, papa en Sofie, de Judith Morjeau

Premio juventud

Premios de la prensa

Premio del futuro

Y para acabar, los ya veteranos (y siempre polémicos) Haxtur, los premios otorgados por el Salón del cómic de Asturias. Los agraciados han sido:

Premio a la mejor historia larga
( ex-aequo) Seton: lobo, el rey, de Yoshiharu Imaizumi y Jiro Taniguchi y Usagi Jojimbo, de Stan Sakai.

Yes, I am back. I returned late last night. Sharon and I had a wonderful time eating, walking, and eating some more. I'll post a travel report later. I do want to thank Thomas and Mara for coming from Berlin to meet us, and special thanks to Mayhem for showing us around London. No doubt without him, we would have spent half the morning trying to figure out the Victoria Station Metro.

I did receive two Haxturs. That brings the total number to 4 that I received.

I got your post card, Fanfan. Those mountains are incredible. I am sorry to hear that you had gotten ill, but I hope it didn't ruin your trip.

Hello everybody,
even my daughter and me got home safe and sound; I'll not bore you with the details of our return trip, just take it I'm glad that we made it.... :?

Our day in London with Mayhem and the Sakais was great!
My daughter and I met them at 9am at the Hotel the Sakais were staying at. Mara knew we had an appointment to keep, but she had no idea with whom. She didn't recognise Sensei when he came down, and when I tried to give her a hint by making a rabbit's face, her first guess was: "Easter bunny?" :D

Now, that was soon cleared and when I told her his name, she instantly knew that he was the one who created Usagi and her personal hero, Jotaro. I think that was the first time during our trip that she was truely awestruck; she was even more so when Sensei gave me the commision I'd asked for (see picture below; I'll get it framed and post it here pretty soon). Thank you again, Sensei, for that splendid piece of art; another heirloom to our family :wink:

I had to skip some of the sights the other three went to see because after four hours of walking around Mara needed a rest.
So after visiting the Tower and having some traditional Fish'n Chips, we left them at St. Paul's Cathedral and joined the touring tourists :wink: later at Zizzy's to have a pleasant diner. A big thank you goes to Mayhem as well, who showed us all around and made the reservation for our table at this nice restaurant!
Next time our place, ok, Mayhem?! :wink:


And although he already had some photos to show what a good time we had, here are some of mine:

Last but not least I'd like to thank Sharon Sakai for being so kind and caring to have an eye on Mara, especially at the restaurant. It was well past her bedtime, you know...
Greetings from overseas

Yea, I think China for some reason, has a lot of mail lost. My sister lives in China, and she'll say he sent stuff- but we never get anything....and postage is a lot from there

Fanfan,
I picked up your postcard at the post office yesterday. Fantastic picture, and I will get around to scanning it for you in the next day or so.
Thanks.
