GLAAD MEDIA AWARD WINNER:
OUTSTANDING COMIC BOOK

Avengers Academy: Marvel’s Voices

By Anthony Oliveira, Elsa Sjunneson, Carola Borelli, Bailie Rosenlund, Pablo Collar, Charles Stewart III, Alti Firmansyah, Minkyu Jung, KJ DΓ­az, Ruth Redmond, Dono SΓ‘nchez-Almara, Ariana Maher, Joe Caramagna (Marvel Infinity Comics)

GLAAD MEDIA AWARD WINNER: OUTSTANDING COMIC BOOK Avengers Academy: Marvel’s Voices By Anthony Oliveira, Elsa Sjunneson, Carola Borelli, Bailie Rosenlund, Pablo Collar, Charles Stewart III, Alti Firmansyah, Minkyu Jung, KJ DΓ­az, Ruth Redmond, Dono SΓ‘nchez-Almara, Ariana Maher, Joe Caramagna (Marvel Infinity Comics)

I am so thankful for the gift of this recognition on behalf of myself and all of the crew on Avengers Academy. We strove week after week to make art worthy of our community – to deepen and enrich the world for queer, trans, and HIV+ representation and readership, to insist we belonged in these worlds of fiction and in the world that dreams them. We wanted both to illuminate queer stories told long ago and to trailblaze new paths forward. It was not always easy, but it was always worth it. 

I am so proud of this work, and so honoured to have it so celebrated. Thank you.

Thank you to all the impossibly gifted collaborators on this project for all your brilliance, enthusiasm, and generosity: our regular artists Carola Borelli, Bailie Rosenlund, and Pablo Collar; our colorists KJ Diaz and Ruth Redmond; our letterists Ariana Maher and Joe Caramagna; as well as our numerous guest talents – who enriched this book week after week with their gifts and perspectives. Thanks too to our editors, Lindsey Cohick, Sidney Stubbs, Wil Moss, and founding editor and Sarah Brunstad who willed this book into life. Time and again this book redefined what could happen, how it could look and read, and above all who could be in a superhero comic, and I could not be prouder. 

And, with great admiration and profoundest appreciation, thank you to my community, for always lifting me up. Finding all of you has been the great gift of my life. This category is full of the fellow artists who showed me there was a place for us to create and to live in this world, and I live in the enduring blessing of their work.

I said it when we ended, and I will say it here again: comics will mend your heart, if you let them. When I was a scared, lonely, closeted kid, the Marvel universe’s heroes were there for me when very little else was. That is a debt I can never pay back, but one I’ve tried with great travail to pay forward. I want to believe we have afforded a little of that same refuge to those who soug…

Amazed and honoured that AVENGERS ACADEMY has won the GLAAD Media Award for OUTSTANDING COMIC BOOK!

Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads:

The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you.

And our governments are very much the same...

- Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist

A black and white screenshot from NEWSIES of Robert Duvall as Joseph Pulitzer. He's sitting in a chair in an ornate office. He's a white man with a beard wearing a suit and smoking a cigar. Behind him stands Christian Bale as Jack Kelly, a white teen in more raggedy looking clothing. Jack has his hands in his pocket and is glaring at Pulitzer, who is looking away from him.

RIP Robert Duvall, thank you for teaching me at a very young age how terrible rich people are for workers
