"Chris Ware&amp;#039;s Building Stories and Noelle Stevenson&amp;#039;s Nimona have been named as the recipients of this year&amp;#039;s Cartoonist Studio Prize. Ware&amp;#039;s bestseller was named as &amp;#039;Best Graphic Novel&amp;#039;, ahead of the likes of Lilli Carre&amp;#039;s Heads or Tails, Tom Gauld&amp;#039;s Goliath and Brandon Graham&amp;#039;s King City.  Building Stories is a cartoon epic made up of 14 books, pamphlets and broadsheets. The title has been a mainstay in the bookstore graphic novels chart since its release. Nimona, the tale of a medieval supervillain with an irritating sidekick, emerged victorious in the &amp;#039;Best Web Comic&amp;#039; category ahead of fellow digital titles Sarah and the Seed by Ryan Andrews, Gabrielle Bell&amp;#039;s Lucky and more. This year&amp;#039;s winners were selected by a panel comprising Slate Book Review editor Dan Kois, personnel from the Center for Cartoon Studies and former New Yorker art editor Fran\u00C3\u00A7oise Mouly. The shortlist for the 2014 awards will be announced next February. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
