The 21st
GLAAD awards were held in last night, seeking as always to "recognize and honor media for their fair, accurate and inclusive representations of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community and the issues that affect their lives." The award for Outstanding Comic Book went to
Detective Comics.
Specifically, to

Detective Comics featuring
Batwoman as the title character and
The Question as a short second feature in each issue. Both storylines had gorgeous art delivered by
J.H. Williams III and
Cully Hamner.
