Here's a look at our awardees from 2023:

Secondhand Snoops

Stephen Kissel - Secondhand Snoops

Secondhand Snoops is an all-ages comic full of mystery and magic following a vampire detective and his trusty robot assistant. When an investigation into an unknown object seems “too tough” (or more often too boring), it often lands on the desk of the long-standing SECONDHAND SNOOPS CURIOS. We follow our vampire detective and their robot assistant as they navigate a world full of monsters and mystery in search of a magical object's true owner.

Mestizo

Phil Kieffer - Mestizo

Mestizo is the spirited memoir of a Filipino-American kid visiting his mother’s home country in the summers of the early 2000’s. It is a journey through identity, adolescence, and the cultural roots that bring us together.
