Good news! The Friends of Lulu just announced that Joanne Carter Siegel has won the very prestigious “Woman of Distinction” Award for 2009. Think of it as a Lifetime Achievement Award for Women in Comics. Check their site for more information, on Joanne and this important organization. Comics awards are notorious for being rigged and/or shady but the FoL does it right: they take nominations from the field, sift them through an expert panel of judges, and then let the public vote. Really happy to see Mrs. Siegel win — she absolutely earned it.
