Matt Kindt's critically beloved thriller SUPER SPY has been nominated for the Eisner Award for Best Graphic Album--Reprint! Originally serialized on Top Shelf's web site, SUPER SPY earned accolades everywhere as soon as it was collected and published as a gorgeous full-color graphic novel. SUPER SPY fans include everyone from Attack of the Show's Blair Butler to comic super-retailer (and former Eisner judge) James Sime, as well as institutions from the Teacher Librarian Magazine to The Comics Journal. This is his third Eisner nomination!
