Gareth Brookes Wins First Graphic Novel Competition

The good folks at the always-thriving Forbidden Planet International blog had a post up yesterday announcing that cartoonist Gareth Brookes won the First Graphic Novel competition for The Black Project. The book will be published in 2013 by contest sponsor Myriad Editions.

The contest was held as part of the Fast Fictions literary festival at the University of Sussex this past weekend.

Finalists in addition to Brookes were:

* Adam Blackman & Dylan Shipley (A Rat's Tale)
* Konstantinos Chrisoulis (Dryland)
* Hannah Eaton (Naming Monsters)
* Tom Eglington (Amber Sands)
* Thom Ferrier (The Enlightenment of Iwan James)
* Paula Knight (The Facts of Life)

Given the quality of the entries was apparently quite high, it's a fair bet that a lot of these other works will find an audience as well.

The judges were Steve Bell, Hannah Berry, Ed Hillyer, Corinne Pearlman, Ian Rankin and Bryan Talbot.
