From "Finder: Voice," by Carla Speed McNeil
Finder: Voice, the latest volume of Carla Speed McNeil's celebrated science fiction series, has won the prestigious Los Angeles Times Book Prize, edging out such contenders in the graphic novel category as Jim Woodring's Congress of the Animals and Dave McKean's Celluloid.
The 32nd annual awards were presented Friday on the eve of the Los Angeles Times Festival of Books. This is only the third year for the graphic novel category; previous winners are David Mazzucchelli's Asterios Polyp and Adam Hines' Duncan the Wonder Dog: Show One.
Published in February 2011 by Dark Horse, Voice collects the Eisner Award-winning 2008 arc of Finder, McNeil's long-running print comic turned webcomic, described by her as 'aboriginal science fiction.'
