Your Los Angeles Times Book Prize Graphic Novel/Comics Finalists For 2015



The LA Times Book Prizes have announced their category finalists for this year's slate. In recent times, that's included a graphic novels/comics category. This year's it's a pretty loaded group including Jaime Hernandez, book-prize juggernaut Roz Chast, and the best original work I read for the first time last year, Arsene Schauwen. The nominees are:

* Roz Chast, Can't We Talk About Something More Pleasant? A Memoir, Bloomsbury
* Jaime Hernandez, The Love Bunglers, Fantagraphics
* Mana Neyestani, An Iranian Metamorphosis, Uncivilized Books
* Olivier Schrauwen, Arsene Schrauwen, Fantagraphics
* Mariko Tamaki (Author), Jillian Tamaki (Illustrator), This One Summer, First Second

I was happy to see Mana Neyestani nominated for his book with Uncivilized. That's an admirable work that I thought might have more penetration into year-end lists than it did.

Congratulations to all nominees; the awards are given out in mid-April.
