I stumbled across this ebook while looking at Isabel Greenberg's website. Her short story, [b:Love in a Very Cold Climate|16099932|Love in a Very Cold Climate|Isabel Greenberg|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1393092159s/16099932.jpg|21909682] (featured in [b:The Encyclopedia of Early Earth|17412749|The Encyclopedia of Early Earth|Isabel Greenberg|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1366106342s/17412749.jpg|24575084]), won the Observer/Cape/Comica graphic short story prize in 2011. This ebook collects the best of the winners and runners up from 2007-2011. There are definitely some serious stand outs (like Greenberg's) and if you have time to page through the ebook I definitely recommend it. None of the stories are more than 4 pages, so none of the stories are a big investment. I think many of the stories (like Greenberg's) were either pieces of larger works or were fleshed into longer works. I definitely plan on seeking out some of the authors.
