A Witch’s Guide to Burning, by Aminder Dhaliwal (Instagram.com/aminder_d)
電子書籍限定コミック。エド・ブルベイカーの手掛ける「Friday」が受賞。
ノミネートの段階ではDCが圧倒的に強い印象でしたが、
結果としては全体的にインディー路線寄りに傾いた印象。
日本漫画英訳作品もノミネートは多かったですが受賞は1作のみ。
しかし、グリヒル、タケダサナ、桃桃子といった日本人アーティスト関連の受賞も目立ちます。
どれくらいが日本語で読めるようになるかは未知数ですが
(あまり冒険をできないくらいには海外作品翻訳のパワーが落ちている感じ…)
マーベルとDCのヒーロー作品だけがアメコミじゃない、という認識は
忘れずにしっかり持っておきたいものです。
