The list with the works selected in the various lists of the Angoulême Festival 2014, one of the most prestigious without a doubt. Regardless of the number of good titles that aspire to win the award in their Official Section, It should be noted that up to four Spanish authors enter this shortlist. They are Carlos Gimenez, which already received the Heritage Award for Paracuellos three years ago, for the French edition of Bad Times: Madrid 36-39 (a piece of album that I highly recommend), Jaime Martin by The Silent Wars, David aja for the first volume of Hawk Eye how good reviews he keeps leaving and Max for his latest and long-awaited work, Steam. Congratulations to the four of you because without a doubt this recognition, whatever happens, is deserved. Then I leave you with the complete list:
