❤️❤️❤️

Thank you so much!

Thanks, Matthew!

Thanks, Phil!

Thanks, Matthew!

Thank you so much!

I can’t describe what an honor this is… As a former teacher and reading specialist, recognition from librarians is the HIGHEST honor imaginable. The fact that DC allowed @gabrielpicolo.bsky.social and I to take these risks w/ their beloved characters still floors me.

Thanks so much, Chris. It’s a huge honor, especially since superhero stories aren’t always recognized.

Congrats to all the winners in every category, and huge thanks to EVERY teacher and librarian out there, who are putting books in the hands of kids and teens who desperately need them. YOU are the real superheroes.

The books are lettered in dyslexia friendly fonts, and they are love letters to both fans of the Teen Titans and the diverse students I taught during my years as a classroom teacher and reading specialist.

While the graphic novels are fun reads, they also tackle issues like identity, body image, neurodivergence, disability, self-doubt, trauma & loss. They’re love letters to both fans of the Teen Titans and the diverse students I taught during my years as a classroom teacher and reading specialist.

These books mean so much to Gabriel and I. We wanted to create a series that both honored the original characters, but that also reflected the challenges and diversity of teens today.

our letterers Wes Abbott,
@tenapolitano.bsky.social & Gabriela Downie; the sales, marketing & PR teams, and our cover designer Aime Brockway-Metcalf. I’d also like to thank our incredible agent Jodi Reamer & Michele Wells, our editor on Teen Titans: Raven.

Huge thanks to ALA and the GNCRT committee members and to our team at DC: EIC Marie Javins; our editors Kristy Quinn & Courtney Jordon; our layout artists Rob Haynes, Jon Sommariva, @emmakubert.bsky.socia; our colorist @davidcauldwell.bsky.social…

I’m overwhelmed with gratitude that my DC Teen Titans graphic novel series w/ @gabrielpicolo.bsky.social was chosen as the Young Adult Series Winner of American Library Association’s Graphic Novels & Comics Round Tables’s inaugural Outstanding Comics Award.

This is way better!

Yes! Ty

RTs which are like Rats (I hate autocorrect)

@faitherinhicks.bsky.social says you can turn off Rats

Agreed.

Ahh….

So true

I’m still trying to figure out this app. It feels like all I see are RTs so it’s hard to see the actual posts. #comics #authors

It’s a huge honor.

Yep

It’s just being delayed a few months so the artists have more time. It won’t be long & it looks amazing!
