Angoulême International Comics Festival Prize for First Comic Book


The Prix Révélation is one of the prizes awarded by the Angoulême International Comics Festival. This prize honors cartoonists who are early in their career.
Some version of the prize has been awarded almost every year since the first festival in 1974. At first it was called the Prize of Best Hope, then in 1985 it was reborn as the Prize for Best First Album. In 1989, as the whole award ceremony was renamed after Hergé's unfinished book Alph-Art, this prize became the Alph-Art coup de cœur and was awarded to authors with up to three published works. From 2003-2006 the award was again called Best First Album, then in 2007 was renamed the Prix Révélation, which is still its name as of 2018.
