Prime Baby, my graphic novella about sibling rivalry and space aliens, just got nominated for an Eisner! Thank you, 2011 Eisner Committee!

Great to see Raina Telgemeier’s Smile, Barry Deutch’s Hereville, and Gerry Alanguilan’s Elmer get some recognition! Those were a few of my favorite books from last year.
