Buddha was voted Best American Edition of Foreign Material by comics professionals who make up the Harvey Kurtzman Award voting commitee. This momentous occasion coincides with the release of our latest volume of the series, Ananda. The first two volumes of Buddha had already won the Eisner Award for Best Foreign Work, and its two subsequent volumes have just been nominated again! This makes the Buddha award count three, between the Harvey, Eisner, and ForeWord awards for excellence in graphic novels. Keep ‘em coming, Buddha fans.
