Monstress – SMASH PAGES

‘Monstress’ wins this year’s Dragon Award

Marjorie Liu and Sana Takeda’s long-running title from Image Comics takes home another award.

Monstress, the dark fantasy comic that blends steampunk and Asian mythology by Marjorie Liu and Sana Takeda, has won this year’s Dragon Award in the “Best Comic Book / Graphic Novel” category.

I’ve honestly lost count of how many awards Monstress and its creative team have won since Image Comics started publishing the title in 2015. A quick search reveals that the book and its creative team have won multiple British Fantasy Awards, multiple Eisner Awards, multiple Hugo Awards, a Harvey Award and a World Fantasy Award. Takeda just won another award for “Best Painter” at the Eisner Awards earlier this summer.

The award was presented at DragonCon in Atlanta this weekend, along with others in categories recognizing science fiction and fantasy books, movies, video games and more.
