Your 2011 Anthony Mystery Award Graphic Novel Nominees

My father was very much involved with the Mystery Writers of America, but I never would have known they expanded their Anthony Mystery Awards into a graphic novel category if I hadn't seen this post by Johanna Draper Carlson. The nominees are:

* Scalped Volume Six: The Gnawing Jason Aaron and Jock (Vertigo)
* Richard Stark's Parker Volume Two: The Outfit, Darwyn Cooke (IDW)
* Tumor, Joshua Hale Fialkov and Noel Tuazon (Archaia)
* A Sickness in the Family, Denise Mina and Antonio Fuso (Vertigo)
* Beasts of Burden, Jill Thompson and Evan Dorkin (Dark Horse)
* The Chill, Jason Starr and Mick Bertilorenzi (Vertigo)

I applaud Johanna's decision to add the artists into the nominations listing, and follow her lead. It looks like the winners will be named at the Bouchercon World Mystery Convention in St. Louis in September. It's nice that there are enough titles that fall under standard definitions of the genre that an awards category appearance like this is possible.
