LA MUSE by Adi Tantimedh and Hugo Petrus received honorable mention in the Publishers Weekly/Comics Week critics' poll of the best graphic novels of 2008, as announced on the PW website.
Overall, 90 books were either ranked as best-of-the-best or given honorable mention. The list included a large number of manga books and more than a dozen collections of previously-published works. The critics panel included Chris Barsanti, Steve Bunche, Johanna Draper Carlson, Erin Finnegan, Kate Fitzsimmons, Laura Hudson, Heidi MacDonald, Calvin Reid, Frank Santoro, Sam Thielman, and Douglas Wolk.
"Naturally, we think LA MUSE should have been included in the top 21 best-of list, but we're happy the book received honorable mention," said Scott Bieser, director for Big Head Press.
LA MUSE, a social satire which chronicles the exploits of a fictional super-powered celebrity, is still available in print, and can be ordered wholesale from Diamond Comics Distribution or Baker & Taylor. It can also be purchased at retail from Amazon.Com and Barnesandnoble.Com.
