Marvel's critically acclaimed BLACK PANTHER--and its creators--dominated a diverse group of winners in 2001's rec.arts.comics Squiddy Awards. BLACK PANTHER won the "Best Ongoing Series" award, while PANTHER creators Christopher Priest, Sal Velluto, and Bob Almond were picked as "Best Creative Team." PANTHER writer Christopher Priest and PANTHER Inker Bob Almond were also honored as "Best Writer" and "Best Inker" respectively. Squiddy voters also selected Tom Brevoort (PANTHER editor for much of 2001) as "Best Editor" and T'Challa himself as "Best Comics Character."
CrossGen made its first appearance on the Squiddy winners list this year with RUSE #1, which tied EIGHTBALL #22 (Fantagraphics) and NEW X-MEN ANNUAL 2001 (Marvel) for the "Best Comics Novella" award. CrossGen's RUSE also tied DC's GREEN ARROW for "Best New Series" and CrossGen colorist Laura Depuy again won "Best Colorist" honors.
James Sturm's THE GOLEM'S MIGHTY SWING (Drawn and Quarterly) was honored with the "Best Comics Graphic Novel" award. The "Best Comic Reprint Collection" race ended in a three-way tie between Alex Robinson's BOX OFFICE POISON (Top Shelf), Kazuo Koike & Goseki Kojima's LONE WOLF AND CUB, vol. 10 (Dark Horse), and Joe Sacco's PALESTINE (Fantagraphics). Brian Michael Bendis and Mike Avon Oeming's POWERS arc, "Role Play" won the "Best Multi-Part Story" prize, while Paul Jenkins and Mark Buckingham's "Heroes Don't Cry" in PETER PARKER: SPIDER-MAN #35 claimed the Squiddy for "Best Short Story."
Brian Bolland won the "Best Cover Artist" race, while WONDER WOMAN artist, Phil Jimenez was named "Best Penciller." Rounding out the creator categories, perennial Squiddies favorite Alex Ross was selected "Best Painter" for the eighth year running, while Dave Sim was picked as "Best Comics Letterer" for his expressive lettering work on CEREBUS.
DC Comics was chosen "Best Company or Imprint" for the second straight year. DC also pulled in the "Best Anthology" award for indy comics-inspired BIZZARO COMICS hardcover. DC/Wildstorm/ABC's TOP 10 was picked as "Best Limited Series," and DC/Vertigo's LITTLE ENDLESS STORYBOOK won for "Best Comics-Related Story--Print." DC Direct's Krypto Soft Toy scored the "Best Comics-Related Merchandise" prize, and DC's JSA was picked as "Best Comic Character Team."
In the online world, Squiddy voters chose Comicon.com's Newsarama (www.comicon.com/newsarama) as "Best General Comics Web Site" and the Warren Ellis Forum (at delphiforums.com) as "Best Focused Comics Web Site." Rich Johnston repeated his 2000 Squiddy victory as "Best Comics Journalist" for his ALL THE RAGE column at silverbulletcomicbooks.com.
