I always thought a mini-comic was one of those little fold-up comics. I don’t know; maybe the catagory includes small pamphlet comics as well.

Johanna, Thanks for the coverage. Also thanks for the comments. As you say in the article I took over after Dave Sim left so most of the stucture is left over from Dave’s involvement. I’m open to new ideas. In reviewing the entries this year I was having a hard time pitting mini-comics against graphic novels etc. Unfortunately since there isn’t any other sponsorships to the prize the purse is limiting. Anybody out there interested in sponsoring a mini-SPACE Prize for next year? Next we’ll need to define what a mini-comic is and open up that can of worms.

I’m sorry! I was confused.

A Thorn In the Side came out a year ago, making it quite eligible, thank you.

That’s an important factor, true, that the art and story work together.

I’d go with Birth.

Despite the fact that it’s the one I’ve seen, it’s a good science fiction tale with art evoking the otherworldly feel the story requires.

It seems (quite often) that, while a story may have good art, it doesn’t match the mood or required storytelling elements of the story. Birth meets both criteria very well.
