Graphic novel wins Guardian book award

This guardian Story is on
an award winner which began life as newspaper cartoon strip.

It became the first graphic novel to win a big British literary award.
The £10,000 prize, in which reading groups at Borders stores have a say, whittling down a longlist of nine, is the first to go to a graphic novel since Art Spiegelman won a Pulitzer prize for his concentration camp story Maus in 1992.
