My favourite book of last year by a country mile.

Wow, congratulations!! If they had a cover category, SP would win it hands down
I wonder how they compare these comics with one another.. at least asterios polyp and scott pilgrim are pretty far apart in style and theme.
Good job on the new blog too, i’ve enjoyed the frequent posts.

This is great news, but if David Mazzucchelli is nominated, it’s probably for Asterios Polyp, I really do not envy the judges who have to make that choice…
