The British Fantasy Award for Best Comic/Graphic Novel was a literary award given annually as part of the British Fantasy Awards.
History
The award was initially conferred in 1973 as "Best Comic". After 1980, the award was discontinued due to low number of nominations and votes, rendering the award no longer viable. The award was revived in 2009 as "Best Comic/Graphic Novel". The award was discontinued after 2022.
