Alexa Frank has won the 2024 Sophie Castille Award for Comics in Translation – English for her translation of Offshore Lightning by Saito Nazuna (Drawn & Quarterly) from the Japanese. The English-language edition of the prizes, which honor the best translation of comics into a number of languages, is presented at the Lakes International Comic Art Festival in the U.K., in partnership with Comica and VIP Brands. The award was launched last year. In its review, PW called the book a "stellar collection of Saito’s short manga about death, memory, family tensions, and human frailty."
