I completely agree with Anya's Ghost! I do wish Anya's Ghost had won an award from a committee that looks at more than graphic novels, as it's a book that should be upheld as not just a great graphic novel, but a great book. However, Vera did win an Eisner for the book. Do libraries generally order all Eisner-winning books?Posted : Aug 03, 2012 01:05
