The "ABC News" website is reporting that Shaun Tan has been awarded "Album of the Year at Angouleme, one of the world's biggest comic book festivals." The website also states that "Angouleme, held in western France annually, attracts tens of thousands of visitors and is the biggest comic book festival in the world, outside Japan." One report I've seen is that 220,000 people attend each year.
