I unveiled the "Bodie" trade at Toronto Comicon at
the start of March. My next convention appearance is also in Canada, at The Sarnia Pop Culture Show this Sunday. It's only an hour and twenty minutes from
my home, and just over the border, so it's the perfect show for traveling. Not
to mention I'll be doing the show with some of my comic creator friends from
both sides of the border. Good times will commence, and the poutine will flow
like wine!
But now, the BIG news...
The National
Cartoonists Society has just released the nominees for their division awards, and
"Bodie Troll" has been nominated for best comic book of 2013! I'm
kinda speechless and gobsmacked about it--this is the biggest honor of my
career. There are only three nominees for this category--I'm up against the
great Sergio Aragones and his "Sergio Aragones Funnies" comic for
Bongo, and Chris Samnee, artist on Marvel's "Daredevil" comic. I
couldn't be in more esteemed company, and I couldn't be more proud to have
"Bodie Troll" recognized by the NCS! They'll announce the winner on
May 25th, so I'll let you know the results then!
More news soon, and more Bodie by the bushel!
