Roll of Honour
MIKE MIGNOLA

Tharg picked up the award for favourite editor for his work on 2000ad, which is still the Galaxy's greatest comic.

Alan Moore got some well deserved recognition, the guy's a legend. Having said that I was personally quite disappointed with League of Extraordinary Gentlemen: The Black Dossier . It didn't live up to the first two books, they were remarkable.

It was good to see D'Israeli pick up an award, I've always thought his work was superb.

I remember that Churchyard fella.

Wasn't he in Deadline or something like that?

Good to see The Walking Dead geting props.

It is most excellent!

He did Leviathan a couple of years back, which was fantastic.
