‘05 Manning Award Nominees Released
The 2005 Russ Manning Most Promising Newcomer Award were announced yesterday afternoon.
*
Chris Bailey, writer/artist of
Major Damage (Sky Dog)
*
Ben Caldwell, artist of
Dare Detectives (Dark Horse)
*
Scott Chantler, artist of
Scandalous (Oni)
*
Timothy Green II, artist of
Fraction, (DC/Focus)
*
James Heffron, writer/artist of
Territory 51, (Law Dog Comics)
The award is presented during the Eisner Award Ceremony, to be held this year July 15 at the San Diego Convention Center the Friday of Comic-Con International.
Nominees are selected by a committee from the West Coast Comics Club and CCI. The winner is chosen by past winners and Manning's assistants, sort of like the Heisman Trophy. It's also like the Heisman in that the past few years seem to feature more Eric Crouch types than Tony Dorsetts in terms of public visibility.
I'm hoping that's art from Mr. Caldwell.
