By John Freeman on July 3, 2007

Ansible 240 reports that the Dark Horse version of Bryan Talbot’s excellent Alice In Sunderland has been nominated in the Graphic Novels section of the American Quill Book Awards “the only televised literary prizes”.

More details and a full listing of nominees here.

For those not familiar with it, Ansible is a monthly literary science fiction and fantasy newszine available by e-mail from the prolific David Langford. More for those who prefer their books not to be interupted by pictures, but still well worth the read!
