Queer Press Grant Winners Announced

For the first time in three years, Prism Comics has announced that there are two winners of its Queer Press Grant. Not only that, but we here at PK actually know one of the winners, too!

Usually, there is one recipient a year, but in a press release today, Prism announced that there are two recipients in this year: Justin Hall (A Sacred Text, True Travel Tales, Hard to Swallow) and Tommy Roddy (Pride High).

...

Patricia Jeres, a Prism board member and Talent and Industry Chair, said of the decision for two creators to share the grant, that “both recipients’ entries show Prism’s strong commitment to enlarging the readership for LGBT-created and themed comics material.”

Words can't describe just how excited we are for Tommy and his teenaged heroes, but from all of us here at PK, we just want to say "CONGRATULATIONS!"
