6th annual Doug Wright Awards awards @ TCAF!  George Sprott, and Aboriginal manga lead nominations for the 2010. March 12, 2010 Toronto -- Running the gamut from the acclaimed to the unconventional, the 15 finalists for this year's Doug Wright Awards were announced today in Toronto. Hand-picked by an esteemed panel of comics experts, the 2010 finalists represent the finest, most thought-provoking work produced by Canada's vibrant comics community. The shortlist contains works that explore diverse subjects, from the legendary life of Kasper Hauser and the fictional life (and death) of a fading TV host, and spans a range of formats, from wordless lino-cuts graphic novels to "manga" inspired by Western Canadian Haida mythology. The Doug Wright Awards finalists for Best Book are: Back + Forth by Marta Chudolinska (The Porcupine's Quill) George Sprott: (1894-1975) by Seth (Drawn and Quarterly) Hot Potatoe by Marc Bell (Drawn and Quarterly) Kaspar by Diane Obomsawin (Drawn and Quarterly) Red: A Haida Manga by Michael Nicoll Yahgulanaas (Douglas and McIntyre) The Doug Wright Awards finalists for Best Emerging Talent are: Pascal Girard Nicolas (Drawn and Quarterly) John Martz It's Snowing Outside. We Should Go For a Walk. Sully The Hipless Boy (Conundrum Press) The finalists for the 2010 Pigskin Peters Award (for unconventional, "nominally-narrative" comics) are: Bebete Simon Bosse (L'Oie de Cravan) Dirty Dishes by Amy Lockhart (Drawn and Quarterly) Hot Potatoe by Marc Bell (Drawn and Quarterly) Never Learn Anything From History by Kate Beaton The Collected Doug Wright Volume One by Doug Wright (Drawn and Quarterly) Founded in 2004 (in a dimly lit Toronto bar) to celebrate the finest in English-language comics and graphic novels, The Doug Wright Awards have since evolved into one of North America's foremost comics awards and one of its most anticipated events. Wright Awards finalists defy easy categorization, and include past and present masters of the form and off-the-beaten-path newcomers alike, all vying for one of the most unique and coveted trophies in comics. This year's nominees were chosen by a five-member panel who chose from works released in the 2009 calendar year. The panel included: comics historian and author Jeet Heer; filmmaker Jerry Ciccoritti; cartoonist Chester Brown; Walrus comics blogger Sean Rogers, and; writer and Sequential.ca publisher Bryan Munn. The winners are chosen by a jury that includes cartoonists, writers, actors, directors, musicians and, on occasion, politicians. A featured event of the Toronto Comics Arts Festival (TCAF), the 2010 Doug Wright Awards ceremony will take place on Sat. May 8, at 7 pm at the Toronto Reference Library's new Bram & Bluma Appel Salon.

Tuesday, February 09, 2010 Angouleme Prize Follow-up: Paul a QuebecAs we reported last week, Michel Rabagliati's Paul a Quebec graphic novel, published by La Pasteque, won the popular vote for favourite book at the Angouleme festival in France. There has been some grumbling and controversy about the prize since then. Although the book has sold 15,000 copies in Quebec since its publication in early 2009, it has not been widely available in France, begging the question of how it garnered so many internet votes for a French prize and leading to speculations about ballot stuffing. Readers will remember that the internet voting determined 5 finalists, from which the winner was selected by a jury. The other four books were Blast T.1 (de Manu Larcenet, Dargaud), Siegfried T.2 (d'Alex Alice, Dargaud), Il etait une fois en France T.3 (de Fabien Nury et Sylvain Vallee, Glenat) and Billy Brouillard T.1 (de Guillaume Bianco, Soleil). As juror Mael Rannou explains on the du9 blog (google trans), many of the jury hadn't read all of the books until the weekend the prize was given and they decided on Paul not just because it was a great book but because they were happy to showcase an deserving international work from a smaller publisher. The book is scheduled for a wider French release next month.

Monday, February 01, 2010 Paul a Quebec wins Prix du Public Fnac-SNCF at Angouleme  Michel Rabagliati's latest graphic novel, Paul a Quebec, the sixth in his Paul series, has won an audience favourite prize at the giant Angouleme comics festival in France. This is the first time a Canadian book has won one of the many Angouleme prizes, handed out over the course of the week-long festival. The book won the complicated-sounding "Prix du Public FNAC-SNCF" (sponsored by a book site and the French national railway). Following a public vote that took place over the past two months online, a large selection of French and international titles was winnowed down and a jury selected a winner from among five finalists early Sunday morning. The winning book is scheduled for a big promotion via the FNAC stores. Basically a fan-favourite or popularity award, the Prix du Public for Paul a Quebec puts an interesting spin on our perceptions of the place of the Quebec graphic novel in France. As I wrote in the print edition of Sequential almost a year ago, in France "Quebec comics often struggle to gain acceptance on their own terms and Quebec publishers have had a hard time finding a foothold in the larger European market." This sort of looks like a foothold to me. The book is published by La Pasteque, who note on their blog that the Angouleme prize is a "consecration" that goes along way towards establishing the Paul books as classics. (The Angouleme site offers a guide to the book here.) Official announcement of prizes.

Tuesday, November 24, 2009 Harvey Graphic Novel Wins GG  Harvey, a graphic novel by writer Herve Bouchard and artist Janice Nadeau, has won two awards in the children's literature category of the Governor General's Awards. Published by Quebec publisher La Pasteque, the book won in both the writer and illustrator categories for French-language children's literature. As noted during the announcement of the awards on November 17, this is the first time one book has won in both categories of children's literature (text and illustration). The double win is also notable in light of last year's controversy over the lack of nomination for cartoonist Jillian Tamaki for her work on the English-language graphic novel Skim, for which writer Mariko Tamaki was nominated. Each award is valued at $25,000 and each winner receives a specially-bound copy of the winning book created by Montreal bookbinder Lise Dubois. The publisher receives $3,000 per winning book as well. This is the third career GG win for artist Nadeau. Harvey is described at the Awards website as a book that "makes us feel the confusion and helplessness of a little boy faced with the death of his father. [Herve Bouchard's] surprising and extremely sensitive writing is deeply moving. Through a series of poetically powerful metaphors, he allows us the freedom to explore the multiple layers of his story." Janice Nadeau's drawings depict "the sadness of spring and the melancholy of loss. The subtle drawings dance with the text and give rhythm to the reading. Herve Bouchard's Quebec comes alive under the brush strokes of the illustrator."

I bought alot of comics, both at WOTS and around town (including a small pile of the overlooked early 80s masterpiece, The New Adventures of Superboy), and overall had a battery-recharging mini-holiday. So now, back to the linkage: Item: The Shuster Awards wrap-ups continue and the Shuster Awards blog has all the links, including Robert Pincombe's overview & Kevin Boyd's response, wth mention of our WOTS panel; a whole bunch of other reports; and Jason Truong's report.

Wednesday, September 23, 2009 TX honoured with 6 nominations for 2009 Joe Shuster Awards Item: An article by Alex Hoffman, posted on the transmission-x forums, speculates about the ghettoization of Web comics in the Shuster Awards. "While being nominated for a Shuster or an Eisner award is a great honour for any creator, if we take a closer look at the award categories -- specifically where webcomics are concerned -- it seems like something is missing."Well, it's arguably the best work he's been doing, so if he should get best artist for something, why is it not that, in the regular best artist category? The rules i suppose but, why is a fair question. It's also true that there is still in general terms, a significant culture firewall between the pulp and digital worlds of comics in many people's minds. Strong speculation in any case, but they don't seem to have asked the Shuster's? Something to look into for us this weekend on the panel. [15:00-16:00: Sequential Presents: Oh, Canada. Surveying The Landscape of Canadian Comics.] In general asking the Panel what role they see for web comics is one for the list.

Thursday, April 02, 2009 2008 Shuster Nominees Announced  The nominees for the 2009 Shuster Award nominees were announced in a press release and on the Shuster website earlier today. This year's nominees are an interesting mix of French- and English-language comics from a variety of publishers from Canada, the U.S.A., and France. Among the publishers, DC (and its various imprints) and Marvel seem to lead the pack in nominations. La Pasteque, Mecanique General/400 Coups and Aardvark-Vanaheim are the most-nominated Canadian publishers. Glenat Quebec is also recognized for a story in its sole Canadian publication. New Reliable Press and Groundwood Books both get a nod (although the Shusters seem to be following the lead of the Governor General awards and have chosen to ignore Jillian Tamaki's work in Skim). And although none of their books were really nominated, Arcana Studio, Conundrum Press, Drawn & Quarterly, Red 5, and Udon were all nominated in the best publisher category. The winners of the awards will be announced at a June 27 ceremony.
