Abstract
The 2011 Festival International de la Bande Dessinée (FIBD) in Angoulême saw the return of enormous crowds to the medieval town in south-western France, and for the first time in many years the event felt uncomfortably crowded and difficult to navigate. This year’s edition of the Festival benefited from a lack of major ongoing controversies. Past issues relating to funding from the town and department have been (at least temporarily) resolved, and the construction that disrupted the event for many years in the 2000s has been complete for some time now. Nonetheless, the show lacked energy and many of the exhibits came across as lacklustre. The major topic of discussion at the show was the strike by salaried employees of L’Association, an occurrence that hung a gloomy cloud over events.
