Canadian comic book writer Julie Doucet won the Grand Prix of the Angouleme Film Festival (south-west France), and reported on Wednesday night for her “underground” and idol destructive work.
Doucet (56) is the fourth woman to win a trophy in Angouleme, considered the most important comic book festival in the world.
“It all started with a game: it was a small driver of the 1980s, and the title was not very clear. And here at Angouleme, he won the most important prize in the comic industry.” At the opening ceremony of the festival, the winner said.
Julie Doucet became famous in the world of graphic illustration with “Dirty Plotte”, a series of doujinshi created about 30 years ago, and became a collector's thing for many years.
Before the age of two, three women won awards: Claire Bretzer, a French woman, Florence Sestark, and Rumiko Takahashi from Japan.
“I want to dedicate this award to all the writers of the past, present and future,” said Julie Doucet.
The festival was held again with guests after canceling the 2021 edition due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The opening ceremony also served to present a series of paintings in honor of the Ukrainian people.
The American cartoonist Chris Ware was awarded in 2021 and compared Russian President Vladimir Putin with “harassment on the schoolyard” for the tradition of giving an award to Julie Doucet this year.
