Your 2018 Harvey Awards Nominees



Here. They've been refurbished. I was asked at one point to be a judge but my life ability to cope with it is such that I didn't even find the time to give the invite e-mail a second read let along participate. People will like focus in on the lack of a humor category -- I thought it was nice to be able to win an award for one's humor named after Harvey Kurtzman -- and a straight-up, broad adaptation category. I understand both decisions to approach those things they way they're approaching them, even though neither would have been on my personal list of ways to do it.

I'm going to link to paper versions of these works, but I'm they're also all available on comiXology, given Chip Mosher's apparent involvement, or on one of the publisher-exclusive digital programs.

Winners are to be named at NYCC on October 5. Good luck and congratulations to all the nominees.
