Fnac and France Inter have launched the 2027 edition of their annual comic book award, which recognizes outstanding achievements in the genre. Twenty albums published in 2026 have been selected for consideration, and the public is now invited to apply for a place on the jury. The call for applications is open from October 2 to October 6. Finalists will be announced on December 4, and the winner will be revealed on January 6, 2027, during a special broadcast on France Inter. This is the ninth consecutive year that Fnac and France Inter have organized the Fnac France Inter Comic Book Award. Rebecca Manzoni, a producer of Totemic and The Mask and the Quill on France Inter, is the godmother of this edition. Among the selected albums are Akujo by Asako Yamasaki, Actes Sud Betty by Tiffany McDaniel, Le Lombard-Gallmeister Bienvenue à l’hôtel inhabituel by Gaëlle Geniller, Delcourt/Mirages Cauchon... ou l’homme qui tua Jeanne d’Arc by Xavier Dorison, Dargaud Frankenstein by David Sala, based on Mary Shelley's novel, and Casterman Gunnar le vampire by Nicolas Dumontheuil. Other notable entries include Rue de Sèvres La Marche des femmes with Michelle Perrot by Annick Cojean, Sarbacane La Langue des vipères by Juliette Brocal, and Gallimard Bande dessinée Les Dissidents by Derf Backderf. The list also includes translated works such as Çà et Là by Neyef and Nanbanjin by Cyril Pedrosa and Taiyô Matsumoto. From October 2 to October 6, readers can apply to join the jury. Thirty people will be selected to read, evaluate, and rate the twenty albums to determine the finalists. Five members of Pass Culture, a French cultural program, will join this group, bringing the total number of public jurors to 35. A second committee, led by Rebecca Manzoni, will then select the winning album. This committee will include specialized journalists from France Inter and Fnac booksellers, ensuring a balance between public opinion and professional expertise. The finalists will be revealed on December 4, and the winner will be announced on January 6, 2027, on France Inter. The chosen title will succeed Soli Deo Gloria by Jean-Christophe Deveney and Édouard Cour, published by Dupuis, which won the 2026 edition. In January, during the "Comic Book Month," Fnac plans to highlight comic books in its stores and on its website. After the award is given, the winning album will be displayed in store spaces, and its author will be invited to appear on France Inter's programs.
