Cartoonist Cab won the Bédélys Québec prize on Thursday, awarded to the best Quebec comic book published by a local publisher for her album. Uptown (New address).
The second installment of the very comical series If we were… (Front Froid) earned its author, Axelle Lenoir, the Bédélys jeunesse Québec prize.
For once, the Bédélys rewarded a majority of works created by women: Mieke Versyp and Sabien Clement won the foreign Bédélys for Skin (published by Here and There) and Niki Smith le Bédélys jeunesse for For a moment (Rue de Sevres).
The creators of comic strips also largely dominated the list of finalists unveiled in March.
