Like the headline says, the Ignatz awards–the annual comics industry awards presented every year at SPX–have been announced, just a week or so before the event itself. Here’s a list:
I’m glad to see that Roger Langridge and Josh Cotter are finally getting some recognition. If you don’t own the Fred the Clown collection (by Langridge) or Skyscrapers of the Midwest #2 yet, you should go out and buy them immediately.
I’m surprised by how few folks chose to debut books this year. As I’m debuting a solo mini-comic and am also included in a mini-comics anthology, I’ve got two nominations in the “Outstanding Debut” category. I’m guessing “True Porn” vol II will win…’cause it’s got humping and stuff in it.
