The Field by Dave Lapp has been nominated for both an Eisner for best Graphic Memoir and a Doug Wright award for best book!
Dave’s on the verge of summer vacation and change is on the horizon. Developers have begun digging up a field on the edges of Dave’s universally familiar small town, presenting endless nooks and crannies for Dave and his fearless friend Edward to explore.
Over the course of the summer, while the town’s adults remain focused on their fractured marriages and neighbourly resentments, the children are allowed to run wild in the field, collecting caterpillars and tadpoles, catching field mice (which they smuggle home), and nursing a curious fascination with Dave’s mother’s matches and their potential for disaster.

Degrees of Separation: A Decade North of 60 by Alison McCreesh has also been nominated for an Eisner in the Best Graphic Memoir category.
Over the course of a decade, artist Alison McCreesh lived, worked, and travelled north of the 60th parallel. Through a combination of autobiographical stories, drawings and sketches, Degrees of Separation offers an intimate and understated glimpse of the North as Alison experienced it. From frigid days spent killing time while stranded in the High Arctic, to the challenges of raising a baby in a small shack with no running water, it is one young woman’s personal experience of both passing through and of setting down roots.
