1000 Graphic Novels for the Bibliothèque nationale du Québec
Charbonneau, Olivier — 2018-01-18 During the Summer of 2004, the Bibliothèque nationale du Québec mandated Olivier Charbonneau to perform an analysis of Graphic Novels, comic books, manga and other sequential art publications. The goal was to build a collection of the "best" English-language collection possible. In order to do this, a citation database was developed to compile all the winners of various prizes and awards given by trade and consumer groups in the field of graphic novels or comic book publishing, namely the Harvey Award (MoCCA Art Festival: New York City); Will Eisner Comic Industry Award (Comic-Con International: San Diego, CA); Ignatz Award Winners (The Small Press Expo: Bathesda, Maryland). These files represent the dataset (citation database) in various formats.
