It’s that time again… The full list of this year’s Eisner Award nominations has been revealed. More than 150 print and online titles have been nominated in 32 different categories this year, with Image, DC, and Fantagraphics standing out as the publishers with the most nods.
The competition - named for the great cartoonist Will Eisner - is in its 36th year and is voted for by comics biz professionals, with the final decisions made by a judging panel made up of educator Ryan Claytor, writer and art historian N. C. Christopher Couch, educator Andréa Gilroy, writer and publisher Joseph Illidge, comics retailer Mathias Lewis, and writer and librarian Jillian Rudes.
For our money this is a very solid list. We’re hearted to see Newsarama favorites likeTransformers,Birds of Prey, andSomnagetting nods, while the chart-toppingBeneath the Trees Where Nobody Seesis another very well-deserved nominee. We’re also very pleased to see Michael Molcher’s excellent text on Judge Dredd - I Am the Law: How Judge Dredd Predicted Our Future - get some love, as well as the gorgeous color omnibus of Alan Moore and Ian Gibson’s classic The Ballad of Halo Jones.
