Missed It: 2006 Doug Wright Awards

This year's Doug Wright Awards were held last Thursday, September 14, at the Gladstone Hotel in Toronto. Best Book went to Paul Moves Out by Michel Rabagliati (Drawn and Quarterly), while the Emerging Talent award went to Lorenz Peter of Dark Adaptation (Pedlar Press). Peter was on hand to accept his award, but Rabagliati was not due to what one report called work-related commitments.

The Wright Awards jury also gave a special Emerging Talent Runner-Up prize to Mariko and Jillian Tamaki of Skim (Kiss Machine). George Feyer (1921-1967) was inducted into the Giants of the North Hall of Fame. That honor was accepted by the late cartoonist's son.

A planned discussion between Seth and Chester Brown centered on the paperback release of Brown's Louis Riel also went off as planned.

Brad Mackay sent a battery of select photos from the show. Drawn and Quarterly blogged it. Sequential blogged the heck out of the show not once but twice.
