The Eighth Annual Rondo Hatton Awards committee closed the polls over the weekend and took the time to tally the votes received on all things macabre. Coming out on top in the “Best Horror Comic” category, Steve Niles and Kelley Jones’ Batman: Gotham after Midnight (DC) defeated the underdog runner-up Vincent Price Presents (Blue Water).

Leaving the esteemed competition with honorable mentions were Hellboy: The Wild Hunt (Dark Horse), Goon (Dark Horse), and the free mobile comic Carnival of Souls. Friends of the Bin Thomas Hall and Daniel Bradford’s brilliant horror-adventure comic Robot 13 (Blacklist Studios) unfortunately, though nominated for the award, didn’t receive the votes it needed to place amongst its lauded peers.

Also receiving other Rondo Awards were the Oscar-nominated film District 9, the British sci-fi television epic Doctor Who, Rue Morgue magazine, and the book Bela Lugosi and Boris Karloff: The Expanded Story of a Haunting Collaboration, by Gregory William Mank.
