Bechdel’s FUN HOME Time’s Book of the Year!

Filed under: Comics!, News — Jeff @ 4:25 pm


This is the story of 2006:  A comic book has been named Time’s Book Of The Year.  It was announced a week ago that Alison Bechdel’s graphic novel FUN HOME topped the list of best books - - not just GNs - - but of all books.  You can read about it on Heidi MacDonald’s blog The Beat. Heidi has a picture of Alison and some links, including to an interview with the cartoonist reacting to the announcement, and the Time article itself. We are in new territory. Congratulations, Alison!
