The Pow Pow team is headed to the Angoulême International Comics Festival! We’re setting up shop at kiosque N53 in the Nouveau Monde tent (Place New York). Pow Pow powerhouses Luc Bossé and Chloé Legault will be joined by our amazing creators Boum (the forthcoming The Jellyfish), Alexandre Fontaine Rousseau (Vampire Cousins), Joana Mosi (The Mongoose, coming out in English this fall) and Chris Oliveros (Are You Ready to Die For the Cause? out in English from our friends at Drawn & Quarterly). With a special focus on Canadian comics and BD at this year’s Festival, you know we’re representing the best comics from our community!
Naturally we’ll mostly be representing our French titles at the show, but if you are an anglophone and you find yourself lost in the whirling maelstrom of comics goodness that is Angoulême this weekend, make sure to stop by and say hi, we’re a very friendly bunch and we’ll make you feel right at home!
