[Comicsstudiessociety] Comics Studies Society - 2022 Award Winners

[Anna Peppard]

Hi Comics Scholars!

The Comics Studies Society recently announced recipients of their annual
awards, celebrating work released in 2021. Because I know many of you
aren't on Twitter, and because these award-winners deserve to be celebrated
as widely as possible, I wanted to share the list of winners here, as well.
If you'd like to nominate your work or the work of a colleague for future
awards, please consult the awards portal on the CSS website for information
about categories and guidelines (https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://comicsstudies.org/prizes/__;!!KGKeukY!0MR5Rt-KNsDICceTVIIsfQhxqj7LvFdER4xCzyaQAz_YvnMqF4kQnvvD1J06pKmnw6-znlGYiYwlb5cIouYTbfFzHyAC2Sc3keU$  ).
