Update: The Arrival
Shaun Tan’s fantastic all-picture book (for want of a better term), The Arrival, has been nominated in three categories of the 2008 Will Eisner Comic Industry Awards:
Best Graphic Album — New
Best U.S. Edition of International Material
Best Writer/Artist
Shaun’s book has done nothing except sell like crazy and win awards since it was published — and believe me, all the kudos are well deserved. This is a book you will come back to again and again for the rest of your life. It’s beautiful, profound and … dare I say it? … a work of genius.
