Article excerpt

Mary Shelley's School: The Killing Stone became the inaugural winner of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers Association's Nebula Award for comics, marking a significant milestone for graphic storytelling in speculative fiction. The SFWA created the new category after facing criticism for previously recognizing only writers in other Nebula categories, overlooking the collaborative nature of comic creation. The award will be formally renamed the Nebula for Comics Writing, acknowledging the distinct contribution of writers in the medium. This inaugural award signals growing recognition of comics as a legitimate form within the science fiction and fantasy literary establishment.
