year's best comics and manga
Budj brings news from St. Martin's Press, the publishers of Dozois' The Year's Best Science Fiction and my favorite The Year's Best Fantasy & Horror by Datlow, Link and Grant.
A new annual anthology, The Year's Best Comics and Manga, will hit bookstores next year, filled with independent and mainstream selections of (take a deep breath, Gerry) grafiction.
This is exciting news because I have faith in the ability of Filipino creators to create work that can stand toe-to-toe with the best in the world. No details have been released, but I assume that the selection process is similar to the other Year's Best annuals. This means that prior publication is a requirement - so let's all get publishing.
I also assume that unless the book is of monstrous dimensions, the editor will select a range of page counts, favoring smaller and shorter stories to give a wider range of the best in the field. Like the other annuals, this implies choosing stories from anthologies and collections as well as excerpts from longer works.
Hmmm.
