Warren Ellis sweeps the Eagle Awards

BB reader Joe says,

The Eagle Awards, the major comics awards for the UK, were given out on Saturday evening after the Bristol International Comic Expo and the
Newswarama folk had them up first (they won best comics related site). I couldn't find mention of them anywhere on Sunday, save one that came up on a Technorati search which had Warren Ellis saying he had a garbled message from Brian K Vaughan to say he had won a pile of awards at the Eagles. Quite surprising it took over a day for them to appear online anywhere, but at least they are up now. I was there during the day on Saturday and posted a bunch of pics on the FPI blog and more on the Flickr stream.

Shown here, a page from Ellis' Nextwave (more scans here).
