ComicsPro Names Its Industry Appreciation Award Nominees

imageThe comics retailing organization ComicsPro has announced the nominees for its 2012 Industry Appreciation Award, which are split into appreciation award (living recipients) and memorial award (recipients that have passed away) categories. The nominees in the still-living category are Cindy Fournier, David Gabriel, Robert Kirkman, Eric Stephenson and Bob Wayne. Those up for the memorial award are Julius Schwartz and Phil Seuling. You can read mini-bios at the ComicsPro page in order to get an idea as to how this portion of the retailing community sees those industry folk.

I believe winners are announced at the yearly meeting, which this year is to be held in Dallas. Past winners in the still-living category are Paul Levitz and Stan Lee; the memorial award has gone to Jack Kirby and Carol Kalish. I think I would vote for Wayne and Sueling, if I had a vote.
