Angoulême Comics Festival: meeting with Emmanuel Moynot and Alain Ayroles in the running for the Fauve d’or

The first was selected for his album No direction. Emmanuel Moynot follows two serial killers in a wild race across America. A duo composed of Jeb and Bess

He makes a meeting from the second chapter with a young woman who, too, is in distress and who is attached to him as a lifeline and we will realize that she too has great violence in her.

The author who got his start in the PLG fanzine and who is currently working on an order for Glacial Fluid was inspired by several types of writing:

I launched myself into multiple challenges in writing which were both inspired by the genre of serial killer narrative, choral narrative with many characters and road trip across the United States.

A bloody and hopeless journey. A violent human comedy in twenty chapters.

The second is a recognized screenwriter. Alain Ayrolles delivers a river narrative drawn by the Spanish Juanjo Guarnido. The Fourbes Indies is a 160 page album, a picaresque novel

It is a genus that appeared in Spain in the 16th century until the 17th century. Which corresponds to the Spanish Golden Age. This type of novel always tells the story in the first person. It is always a life made of bad tricks, misadventures. They are heroes or rather anti-heroes who will be confronted with all the injustice and all the misery of the time and they will come out of it with more or less happiness

Her hero is called Don Pablos from Segovia. A nice scoundrel who struggled during the colonization of America during the Spanish Golden Age.

2019 is a good year for Aquitaine comics. The region is one of the cradles of the 9th Art. Mathiew Saint-Denis, comic book specialist bookseller Krazy kat gives us the figures:

There are around a hundred people working in the comic strip sector in Gironde, around 200 in New Aquitaine. It would be the second region of France for the number of authors according to the institutions.
