I recently found out that The Man in the McIntosh Suit was named a finalist for Best in Adult – Fiction for the 2024 Excellence in Graphic Literature (EGL) Awards. Honored to be listed alongside winning book, Shubeik Lubeik and fellow finalists Ashes, Wonder Woman Historia, The Night Eaters: Her Little Reapers, and Last on His Feed: Jack Johnson and the Battle of the Century.
From the Pop Culture Classroom website: The annual EGL Awards, established by the Denver-based nonprofit organization in 2017, spotlight the very best in comics and manga collections, graphic novels, and other graphic literature, identifying titles that have the potential to best advance literacy, learning, and social connection—particularly in educational settings.
“This year’s EGL finalists are compelling, varied, and substantive — and each has a unique and rewarding story for readers. Our jurors from across the country are academics, teachers, librarians, and graphic literature professionals, and they have identified some real gems for early readers and lifetime learners alike.”
