BOOM! STUDIOS HUNTER'S MOON NOMINATED FOR TWO GLYPH AWARDS


Los Angeles - March 3rd, 2008 -James L. White, best known as the screenwriter for the ACADEMY AWARD®-winning film RAY, has been nominated for two Glyph Awards for his comic debut, HUNTER'S MOON, in the Story of the Year and Best Writer categories.


The Glyph Awards are given out on a yearly basis to honor comics made by, for, and about people of color.


"Being nominated for one Glyph Award is an honor. Being nominated for two is an absolute blessing. I am so pleased to be recognized amongst so many comics greats. Writing is my passion, and it makes even more fruitful when others enjoy my work, so thank you," said James L. White, writer of HUNTER'S MOON.


"This project is a cracking good thriller yarn with vivid characters and an exciting core conflict. It comes as no surprise to me that other people that have checked it out have come to the same conclusion. All credit goes to the hard-working creative team, including artists Dalibor Talajic and Sebastian Cardoso, who really delivered the goods on this one!" Mark Waid, Editor-in-Chief of BOOM! Studios said


HUNTER'S MOON debuted last spring to great praise. Variety's Tom McClean wrote, "White defies conventional comic book wisdom and packs this tale of a successful businessman trying to reconnect with his son on a hunting trip with eight-, nine- and 10-panel pages packed full of compelling dialog that gives this story the kind of meat few comics offer," and gave HUNTER'S MOON the grade of A.


The third annual Glyph Comics Awards show is set to take place during the East Coast Black Age of Comics Convention (ECBACC). The ECBACC is being held May 16th and 17th in Temple University's Anderson Hall in Philadelphia.


HUNTER'S MOON TPB will ship in March of this year and has a Diamond Code of JAN083461.
