During lockdown, comedian e book author Tony Lee of Hooded Man Media grew to become bestselling novelist Tony Lee underneath a few pseudonyms. As a outcome, he arrange The Hooded Man Caliburn Prize for Comic Creation, or The Caliburn Prize for brief, a brand new UK comic-based literary grant, recognising recent and unpublished voices on this planet of comedian and graphic novel creation.
“When I started in comics, it was a different world,” Tony Lee defined. “I was able to walk into a publisher with experience in other media under my belt, but many of today’s creators don’t have the same advantages I did, as the industry has massively changed over the last twenty years, and the doors I entered through are now boarded up. The prize fund is a way to help the next generation of comic creators find their own route into the room where it happens.”
“The quality of submissions was outstanding this year,” Tony defined. “I’m genuinely not exaggerating when I say there was only a handful of points between all entries, and no obvious leader until the last two judges results came in.” Judges on the panel included Kieron Gillen, David Leach, Rachael Smith, Oriana Leckert, James Wills, Harry Markos and me.
