The ballot is created by a jury of five people; this year those members were Neil Brideau, Glynnis Fawkes, Sara Lautman, Trungles, and David Willis. The Ignatz Award nominees can be seen at the show website. Outstanding StoryDiana’s Electric Tongue by Carolyn Nowak (who won Outstanding Minicomic last year for Radishes) Outstanding MinicomicTender Hearted by Hazel Newlevant Outstanding AnthologyElements: Fire – An Anthology by Creators of Color edited by Taneka Stotts Outstanding SeriesChester 5000 by Jess Fink Outstanding Online ComicThe Meek by Der-shing Helmer Promising New TalentBianca Xunise for Say Her Name Outstanding ComicYour Black Friend by Ben Passmore Outstanding Graphic NovelMy Favorite Thing Is Monsters by Emil Ferris (making her print comic debut at the age of 55) Outstanding ArtistEmil Ferris for My Favorite Thing Is Monsters (also up for Outstanding Story but didn’t win) Outstanding CollectionJohnny Wander: Our Cats Are More Famous Than Us by Ananth Hirsh and Yuko Ota Several of the works — Say Her Name, Your Black Friend, Elements: Fire — explicitly dealt with issues facing people of color or highlighted their contributions, and the speeches reflected that as well. (There were no white male winners.) The final award winners, Hirsh and Ota, talked about being encouraged to make comics when they first attended the show many years ago, even though no one else at that time looked like them, while Passmore’s speech was more explicitly political, with exhortations against the police and the president. The other main thread of the remarks dealt with the community of comics, how we all have something in common being here and loving the medium. That kind of approach is what keeps people coming back to the show year after year. Link : 2017 Ignatz Award Winners | |
