some highlights:
Indy Book of 2004 runner-up: my dad's Fade from Grace (Beckett Comics)
Surprise of 2004: another Beckett book -- The Ballad of Sleeping Beauty
"I admit that I almost passed this one up, based on the title alone. The wife grabbed it for one of my son’s young gal friends, thinking it was about THE Sleeping Beauty. As the responsible parent and adult, I flipped through each comic before handing them off to younger readers, only to discover that this wasn’t a book about THAT Sleeping Beauty! The Ballad Of Sleeping Beauty was so much more!
Writer Gabriel Benson, artist Mike Hawthorne and cover artist Jeff Amano had created a big screen quality western that was more than just a simple western. This western combined elements of a mystical, supernatural story with elements of a good ole fashioned mystery, all the while brimming over with cover to cover action!
And a free first issue wasn’t the end of the surprises when it came to this series. Produced on the highest quality paper and looker sharper than most comics on the shelves today, subsequent issues of The Ballad Of Sleeping Beauty were only $1.99 each…a bargain at three times the price!"

forgot to say congratulations to Essad, Mike, et al., but i guess that was sort of implicit. i know the fannys aren't exactly eisners, but i'm still very proud of you all and am happy that you're getting recognition for your hard work.
and hey, this is my 100th post! cool!

Thanks Kat! Gabe actually just sent this to me too. We got some "award" thing on some other site, but I forget what it is.
No they aint the Eisners but I'll take a Fanny anytime!
