The nomination list for the 2008 Will Eisner Comic Industry Awards represents the most diverse slate of titles and creators in the 20-year history of the awards (considered the “Oscars” of the comic book industry). The nominees range from literary Japanese graphic novels to comics based on popular TV series, from massive hardcover collections of classic comic strips and comic books to cutting-edge anthologies, from goofy humor titles to works about the Soviet space program, a Chinese vaudeville magician, and the Negro Leagues. In fact, the nominations are so varied that it is difficult to summarize any trends.
The San Diego Comic Con is big. Very big. So big in fact that it just might be too large for the Friends of Lulu, the organization that recognizes the efforts for women in comics, who have decided to move to the award ceremony to the MoCCA Art Festival.
“We are excited to bring an award event to MoCCA Artfest, and just as excited not to be competing with the multitude of great events at San Diego Comic-Con this July. We are able to reach a larger group of people eager to see wonderful creators recognized for their hard work in this field,” Treasurer Marion Vitus notes.
Because MoCCA runs in June instead of July, the nominations and voting - open to non-members this year - will be coming up soon.
The Will Eisner Comic Industry Awards have announced the 2008 Hall of Fame Nominees:
Congratulations to everyone who has been nominated. Voting is open until April 18, with the winner announced at the 2008 San Diego Comic Con International.
