Your 2010 Hugo Award Best Graphic Story Category Winner
The Hugo Awards, celebrating the best in science fiction and fantasy "works and achievements" since they were first given out in 1955,
announced the 2010 winners at Melbourne's AussieCon 4 over the last weekend.
The winner in the Best Graphic Story category was, as listed by the awards,
Girl Genius, Volume 9: Agatha Heterodyne and the Heirs of the Storm. The Hugo recognized the work as being written by Kaja and Phil Foglio, art by Phil Foglio, colors by Cheyenne Wright, and the book coming out from the Foglios' self-publishing imprint Airship Entertainment. It won a category consisting of itself,
Batman: Whatever Happened to the Caped Crusader?,
Captain Britain And MI13. Volume 3: Vampire State,
Fables Vol 12: The Dark Ages, and
Schlock Mercenary: The Longshoreman of the Apocalypse. Unlike awards where it just seems that way, the genre-focus of the awards was reflected in the nominees.
A previous volume in the
Girl Genius series won the 2009 award as well.
The one comics-related winner in another category was illustrator and visual storyteller
Shaun Tan, who won in the best professional artist category. Tan's latest book is
The Bird King And Other Sketches, although the award was ostensibly for 2009 work.
