Tales of Supernatural Law, the latest volume by the delightfully monikered Batton Lash, is picking up mainstream praise and approval. The Beat reported that Tales is a finalist in the graphic novel category for the Publisher’s Marketing Association’s Benjamin Franklin Awards (which reward independent publishing) and ForeWord magazine’s Book of the Year Awards. Way to go, Batton! I wonder if Wolff & Byrd, ‘Counsellors to the Macabre’ influenced Joss Whedon’s creation of Wolfram and Hart in Angel? Nancy Drew: the Demon of River Heights and North Country are also on the final shortlist for the Ben Franklin. Batton’s work has also been nominated for inclusion on the American Library Association’s recommended reading list.
