October 24th, 2007 (Berkeley, CA) - This past week YALSA announced Kyle Baker's Image Comics debut, NAT TURNER: REVOLUTION, has been nominated for their Great Graphic Novel award.

"Having NAT TURNER: REVOLUTION nominated is a true honor and shows Image is the right home for my work," said Kyle Baker. "Getting Nat Turner's story out there was a very personal goal of mine. It's great feeling to know it's so well received."
