Street Angel (mini-comic) on the 3rd Annual Howard Eugene Day Memorial Prize Short List. Be sure to check out the other books on the list as well. Pop Gun War, the Gypsy Lounge, and Happy Town are all outstanding (I haven't read the other 3, but they're in good company and probably well worth a look).
