The International Association of Media Tie-In Writers handed out the second annual Scribe Awards during a Saturday event at Comic-Con International.According to co-founder Max Allan Collins, “The nominee panelists were a varied and interesting lot, with our Faust winner Alan Dean Foster a particular standout. Andy Mangels did his usual smooth emcee job, and it was great having co-founder Lee Goldberg on the panel.”The Scribes also handed out the first Grandmaster Award which honors a writer for his extensive and exceptional work in the tie-in field. This year’s honoree is Alan Dean Foster.As to the winners themselves….BEST GENERAL FICTION ORIGINALMR.
