Your 2011 Russ Manning Most Promising Newcomer Nominees
This year's nominee list for the Russ Manning Most Promising Newcomer Award has been released. They are:
* Janet Lee, artist of
Return of the Dapper Men (published by Archaia)
* Adam Hines, writer/artist of
Duncan the Wonder Dog (published by AdHouse)
* David Marquez, artist of
Days Missing and
Syndrome (published by Archaia)
* Paul Roman Martinez, artist of
Adventures of the 19XX (published by Kopetkai)
* Nate Simpson, artist of

The winner is named during the Eisner Awards ceremony, held the Friday of Comic-Con International weekend. This year's recipient will be the 30th for the award, which has been given out in the name of the late, great comics craftsman since 1982. If you look at the winners list, it's a pretty interesting mix of people that have gone on to become iconic cartoonists and those that haven't, including people working in all different styles.
