Graphic novel “The Nao of Brown” wins Comic Award Posted: 01 Dec 2013 07:43 PM PST December 02, 2013 'The Nao of Brown' by Glyn Dillon, Best Book winner at the British Comic Awards this year. - AFP/Relaxnews pic, December 2, 2013.Looking for a new graphic novel to wade through this weekend? You could do worse than "The Nao of Brown", which won Best Book at the British Comic Awards. Written and illustrated by Glyn Dillon, whose work has also appeared as part of Neil Gaiman's "The Sandman" series (issue No. 62, to be precise), "The Nao of Brown" had already picked up the Special Jury Prize at this year's Angouléme International Comics Festival in January. What's it about? "Nao" transports readers into the world of an eponymous Japanese-English obsessive compulsive who, just as Dillon had, goes to work in toy design while delving into illustration on the side. Known for its contemplative watercolour style and a heartwarming storyline, the tale accompanies Nao through her struggles to compartmentalise the world (and herself) into manageable categories while on a quest for perfect love. The British Comic Awards took place at the Thought Bubble comic convention in Leeds on November 23. Also acknowledged as finalists in a close-run contest were "The Man Who Laughs" by Dave Hine and Mark Stafford, "The Gigantic Beard That Was Evil" by Stephen Collins, "Mrs Weber's Omnibus" by Posy Simmonds, and "Judge Dredd: Trifecta" by Ewing, Spurrier and Williams. Best Comic went to "Winter's Knight: Day One" by Robert M Ball, while the Young People's Comic Award was given to "The Complete Rainbow Orchid" by Garen Ewing. 2012's Best Book winner was the "Nelson" anthology, with Best Comic going to "Bad Machinery: The Case of the Fire Inside" by John Allison and the Young People's award won by Luke Pearson's "Hilda and the Midnight Giant". - AFP/Relaxnews, December 2, 2013.
