The 2010 Glyph Comics Awards were handed out Friday night at this weekend's East Coast Black Age of Comics Con. The awards honor "the best in comics made by, for, and about people of color."
Jay Potts and his blaxploitation webcomic World of Hurt took three of the ten awards. Aya: The Secrets Come Out and Luke Cage Noir each took two awards, while The K Chronicles by Keith Knight won for best comic strip for the fourth time in five years. Last year's big winner, Jeremy Love's Bayou, and our own The Original Johnson by Trevor Von Eeden were nominated for several awards but were shut out. (And yes, it was a honor just to be nominated, particularly against a field like this.)
The complete list of winners includes:
Story of the Year: Unknown Soldier #13-14; Joshua Dysart, writer, Pat Masioni, artistBest Writer: Alex Simmons, Archie & FriendsBest Artist: Jay Potts,...
