At the meeting on Jan 28, I also offered my strong recommendation for
Rob Balder's webcomic Erfworld, Books 3&4 nominated as a single work, in
the Hugo Graphic Story category this year. This story arc started back
in 2014, and reached its final page last year. Rob tells his story with
a mixture of comic pages and some illustrated text pages that offer more
background and characterization. Some of you may remember back in 2017
I was promoting Xin Ye and Lauri Ahonen for Best Professional Artist for
their work on Erfworld in 2016.
I've put a page up for books 3&4 in the 2019 Hugo Recommendation Wiki:
https://hugo-noms-2019.wikia.com/wiki/Erfworld_Books_3_%26_4
On that Wiki page, I've included my arguments for why I think Books 3&4
should be eligible as a single work, and a summary of where we are in
the story at the beginning of Book 3, for those who want to start
reading there (and don't mind a few spoilers for the earlier books in
the series). The books themselves are available online at:
https://www.erfworld.com/erf_stream/books
My previous Wiki page on Xin and Lauri from 2017 is still available at
https://hugonoms2017.wikia.com/wiki/Xin_Ye_and_Lauri_Ahonen
It has links to pages containing some notable art images from 2016 in
Books 3 & 4 (which were a single Book 3 at the time). Note that the page
descriptions contain some spoilers for plot points in Books 3 & 4.
