The World Fantasy Awards are a celebrated recognition of notable work in the science fiction or fantasy genre of literature and related fields. The judges this year included Nancy A. Collins, Diana L. Paxson, Paul Barnett, Rachel Holman, and Joe R. Lansdale.
Despite his internationally renowned talent, Moebius was quite surprised to learn he'd been nominated for -- and received -- this coveted award. "I was very flattered to learn I'd received this award; and to be honest, I was surprised as I wasn't even aware I'd been nominated," Moebius laughed from his Hong Kong hotel room, where he's opening a new show of his work. "It's a very prestigious award, and it's not generally associated with comic artists. To the best of my knowledge the only comics artist to be similarly acknowledged is Neil Gaiman. I hope this is an indication that comics are finally being recognized as the valuable art form we know them to be."
