Last night the Harvey Awards were given out at New York Comic Con, in the six categories the awards program reintroduced in 2018.
Kate Beaton’s critically acclaimed Ducks: Two Years in the Oil Sands added another accolade to its shelf, taking home the award for “Book of the Year.” And Rachel Smythe’s Lore Olympus defended the “Digital Book of the Year” category, taking home the Harvey for a second year.
