Do we get BDs?

At Angouleme there is an annual festival of Bandes dessinées an art form which seems particularly French, though the American Marvel type comics were important.
But the prize for best album this year has been awarded to a Belgian pair, in the tradition of Hergé the creator of Tintin. Eric Lambé and Philipe de Pierpont were chosen for their album called "Paysage après la bataille", which depicts in muted colours the grief of a mother who loses a child.

The winning album

Readers who usually buy the winning album may find these 420 pages a different kettle of fish to the usual winners.
