Angouleme 2020 in Photos #4: 30 Years of L'Association

 

By Gerald Heng

Exhibits in Angouleme are generally comprehensive, overwhelming, crowded and only in French. Mr. Heng has braved the crowds to provide us with snapshots of the Festival so our readers can get a general impression. Catalogs for the major exhibits are on sale, but often sell out during the show. 

[editor's note - I apologize for not getting this up when the exhibit was actually available to see. Our reporters, Mssrs Heng and Nguyen were so industrious, they overwhelmed our staff, and this set of photographs vanished into my harddrive.  - MR]
