Organisers of France's Angoulême comics festival have said they are cancelling an exhibition dedicated to a popular French author criticised for depicting incest and sexualising children, after he reported receiving threats of violence.
On Wednesday, the Angoulême International Comics Festival said it was "not possible" to go ahead with an appearance by Bastien Vivès that "could pose such risks to an author and, potentially ... to festival-goers", adding that staff had also faced "intimidation".
