 I don't want you to think (from my last posting) that John Dixon was the only recipient of the 2014 Ledger Awards for excellence in Australian comics. The full list of 2014 Winners were:
GOLD: "Toormina Video" by Pat Grant (Self-Published) SILVER: "Finding Gossamyr: Volume One" by artist Sarah Ellerton and writer David Rodriguez (Th3rd World Studios) BRONZE: "An Anzac Tale" by author Ruth Starke and illustrator Greg Holfeld (Working Title Press) "Grubby Little Smudges of Filth" by Daniel Reed (SLG Publishing) "Mr Unpronounceable Adventures" by Tim Molloy (Milk Shadow Books) PLATINUM: John Dixon and Ben Hutchings At today's date, I have included links to each of these books: simply click on the title, and a new window will take you to another web-site that will give you more details about these Award-Winning books, and in some instances how you can purchase them. As well as announcing the Award Winners at the State Library last Friday, the Ledger Committee and Sponsors surprised all who attended the function by offering a free special 28 page comic to commemorate the event. (The cover is shown above.) Comicoz has two copies to give away FREE to readers of this posting. To win, simply be the FIRST and SECOND person to leave a Comment about this posting telling me which of the Award-Winning books you like and why... |
