The Small Press Expo awarded Offshore Lightning, a collection of short manga by author Nazuna Saitō, the prize for Outstanding Collection in its 2024 Ignatz Awards on Sunday.
Glacier Bay Books’ Glaeolia 2 collection of indie manga won the award for the “Outstanding Anthology” category at the 2021 Ignatz Awards.
The Ignatz Awards, which are named after the character in George Herriman’s seminal comic Krazy Kat, recognize “outstanding achievement in comics and cartooning.”
A jury of cartoonists create a ballot every year, and then the attendees of Small Press Expo vote on the nominees.
