2012 Eagle Award Winner!

Script and letters by Lex Wilson (as “Alex Wilson”). Art and Color by Silvio dB.

A five page dark fantasy comic combining the Snow White fairy tale with the Trickster myth.

Winner of the 2012 Eagle Award: The MCM Expo Award for New Visionaries at the London Comic-Con in May 2012. The award was also known as the “The Huntsman’s Challenge,” co-sponsored by the 2012 Universal Pictures film Snow White and the Huntsman, and it was the last Eagle Award ever awarded. (full story/list of winners)

“The Time of Reflection” was shortlisted by judges Steve White, Tony Lee, and Mark Buckingham in both categories of art and story for the MCM Expo Award For New Visionaries, and then became one of two finalists, and then won the whole thing won via popular vote.

As a finalist, the story (with some violence that would give it at least a PG-13 rating, FYI) was “included in May’s MCM London Comic Con show programme, printed in conjunction with Snow White And The Huntsman from Universal Pictures.” More details here or here.

The contest required a dark fantasy story (complete with five pages of color art!) with only a month from announcement to deadline. Thanks for your support, congrats to Silvio, and congrats also to friends Paul Allor and Amy Chu, who also had work shortlisted!

After all this, a successful Kickstarter raised over $5,000 (over 1,000% funding!) to subsidize the printing of the story as a full color booklet and get it into shops.
