While Three Shadows was, in my opinion, easily the best GN to come out last year, it strikes me as odd that none of the comic books nominees were domestic, in that it is the NATIONAL cartoonist society award. While all the other awards seem to focus on any comics in print in English, these seem like they should, by definition, be comic work produced in the states. But then Marlet won animation, so the globe-trotting wasn’t just confined to our category.
Not to pull anything away from those wins - As I said, I think Three Shadows WAS the best book last year, it just struck me as odd.
